This is a call to all friends of a fellow Kevin to follow my petition to have the Kiloelectronvolt (KeV) removed as the keyboard default abbreviation when you type 'Kev'. keV is more than just kinetic energy. He tells dad jokes too.

I am terrible at decision making when it comes to choosing my next read. Has anyone read any 5* fiction recently? 👀 Ideally an easy, but fun read, my brain is too full with other things. Bit of escapism, you know? I prefer one off stories, over saga 📚 Fantasy, sci-fi, action, ok to suprise me.

Spotify should have a special playlist controlled by your device 'brightness' settings to dictate the type of music that you are presented with. Feeling overjoyed? tap it up and start listening to something upbeat feeling down? tap it down and listen to the fray.

Don't forget it's the last super moon 🌕 of the year folks. Get yourself outside and take a look. Can recommend the last opportunity to experience the disappointing feeling of "well, I've already seen the moon before, but yes - maybe it's a bit bigger' 10/10

You'd think that Secret Escapes would be smart enough not to try to sell you a hotel next to Liverpool Street station in London when you are looking for hotels in Liverpool eh? Apparently not.

First Christmas Sandwich of the year from M&S. Not a strong start. Don't call it 'pigs in blankets' if you're not going to wrap the bacon AROUND the sausage. Lazy. Nice pickle though. 4/10.

Do I know anyone who's getting deep into frameworks like SPACE (more interested) or DORA? Keen to find people to talk about developer experience, and perhaps thinking a little more about everyone involved in the value stream.
