Perfect! Yes definitely in the same orbit innit - shame there's not a version of this on the GOV.UK blog. Obviously I no longer have any recollection as to why I was trying to find it anyway...

in my fairly average bit of Brighton outskirts, there's about three front dormers going up on our street alone at the mo. I keep wondering what's shifted in the universe that means suddenly everyone has access to tens of thousands of pounds to do this kind of thing, what happened to the cozzie livs?

I got Claude Code to audit my Mac's folder / file structure (because it is a hot mess developed over 20 years). Turns out I hoard copies of Transport all over the place. You never know when you might need it!!

Screenshot of a Mac Terminal with feedback from Claude Code on the folder structure. It says:
Duplicate Content:
- Fonts: Same font files in Downloads AND Library/Fonts (complete duplication)
- Archives: Multiple archive folders with overlapping content
- GDS Transport fonts: Found in 3+ different locations

No one's coming, it's up to us (to remember to pay our taxes)

Disappointing LLMs can't do personal taxes yet. But not at all surprising. Too complex to do as a single shot task.

Prompt they used in the paper is ambitious: github.com/column-tax/t...

Pretty much a "here's my data, do the taxes" prompt with no access to tools, eval loops, or human checks

I’m often asked for examples of good ‘working in the open’ - so I’ve made a list of some of my favourites, and I’ll do my best to keep it updated as I hear about new ones. It’s called “Doing open”

I had to get a car part replaced in Switzerland once (broke down just outside the Gotthard tunnel). Looked up the part online after paying the bill. 1000 francs in Switzerland, £200 at home. What a country!
