Big #F1 news - Adrian Newey to become Aston Martin team principal!
Could go either way - some technical leaders discover they have a hidden management genius within them. For others, the difference between a top team leader and a top tech leader rapidly become clear.

Why can you never fix the blame on good C programmers?

Why are plays written by Fortran 77 programmers boring?

Evidence that PGMOL/VAR interpretation of offside rule clearly varies from one week to next
When will PGMOL be held to account other than Howard occasional TV appearances to explain away poor decisions?
PGMOL’s mistakes are what is harming attitudes to refs, not behaviour of managers or players

There's absolutely no doubt that Ndoye was in an offside position. VAR presumably satisfied he wasn't interfering / in line of sight.
Do I understand this compared to the #lfc disallowed goal against Man City? Not really.

Several mentally challenging meetings this week, ranging from ones where I’m wondering how/if to tell someone their perspective is significantly detached from reality, to ones where there an opportunity to do something really amazing, to ones where alleged experts’ competence might be debatable …

A fun but maybe not easy question as we look forward to #SC25 …
Which of these most resonates with how you think of yourself?
Can only pick one, can’t say “all of them” - get off the fence & pick a team 😁

2. #AI
3. #Cloud
4. None - no resonance with any of them

3 bits of advice:
1. Prioritise shoes for comfort not smart.
2. Find/force downtime during SC. Enough talks/meetings/receptions done well is better than lots rushed/tired/etc.
3. SC is about people as much as (or more than) technology.
