No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.
This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

The best thing about being a mobile app developer is that your code could be sitting in the pockets of millions of people around the world. Bugs and all.

On Seeking New Roles: My Personal Guiding Principles
Watching the budget announcement today, it’s maddening how shambolic UK parliament is - heckling, shouting, spiteful personal attacks - on both sides. I get that it’s probably always been this way but, aren’t they supposed to be adults?

New job, and I’ve never felt so motivated. I have the freedom to work remotely, to balance my time with my parental responsibilities… I’m treated like an adult.
In return, I’ve already closed 3 issues including a high severity incident, in just my first week. #RTO policies are BS

I’d like to say I’m most proud of launching Sobo because it could genuinely help someone improve their life by giving up a harmful habit.
But I have to confess that I’m also feeling incredibly smug for getting my iconography past Apple’s review process 😇🍆

I’ve found sleep to be one of the most important things in life, and I realised how much mine was being interrupted after drinking alcohol - so I decided to quit.
Wanted to track my sobriety with #ios widgets, so thought I’d build some!

I finally caved and got an iPhone.
My passion for #AndroidDev is as strong as ever (and my career depends on it 🙈), but I’m loving #iOS! It’s also great to experience my #KMP projects on a real device, I think it’s important to know both platforms deeply to get the best out of cross-platform #dev

If an #AndroidDev switches to an iPhone for personal use, can they ever be forgiven? Asking for a friend... 🫢

Seriously, #SelfHosted is the way to go when you're starting a new personal project. Why lock yourself into pricey cloud hosting when your network traffic is minimal?
Love to watch my #RasPi faultlessly handle my growing user base, and it has cost me almost nothing ❤️

I'm gonna need someone to tell me why we need to bring back woolly mammoths... Like, is it so starving kids can eat them? Y'know, the kids that could otherwise be helped with all that mammoth money 🤔

Considering what we are experiencing world-wide, I don't think we need AGI, and I also don't think we should work 60 hours per week. Seek quality time with your loved ones instead.

I spent a lot of time finessing adaptive layouts with edge-to-edge support on both #ios and #android, while also using custom non-material design elements, such as navigation. Some of the APIs are hard to wield, but got there eventually. Let me know what you think!
