Earlier /this year/, a Berlin bar asked people to come more often because they were struggling with increased costs
They allow smoking inside, I suggested that some dedicated smoke free nights would increase footfall - as I’ve lost count of the number of people who won’t go because of the smoking

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

There’s so many LAP Coffee’s in Berlin these days
At what point should we start calling it LAPland instead? 🤔

Whilst waiting for @phoenix.tapbots.com I figured I’d try and add a native iOS translation sheet to @bsky.app
It’s interesting much better the dev UX is for the translate related gubbins is when using SwiftUI vs not (bsky uses react native)

Accepted! Go 1.26 will include a SECRET package. Don't tell anyone about it 🤫
Just kidding. The package wipes the memory to keep secrets safe — hence the name.

Really gotta hand it to government bureaucracy for innovating on the circular dependency front.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new appears.

As someone who uses Apple Pay, it’s interesting to see people use Google pay
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it work the way people expect it to, there’s always some confusion about whether the app is ready, if the phone is in the right place, etc
Half the time people give up and use a card instead?

A while back I stopped giving out my email unless it was absolutely necessary (I dislike email)
So many modern systems arbitrarily require an email, when the process itself doesn’t
Like checking into a hotel - the machines need an email but just chat with someone and it’s by-passable

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.
This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Getting compensation right is hard.
But when people are incentivised to do things that actively harm the business/product because it’s the easiest way for them to get a promotion?

Owning code in production changes how we write it. ‘You Build It, You Run It’ isn’t asking too much of developers, imo. It’s a great way to build reliable software.

Spent a little bit of time adding a small but useful feature to @locally.build that I've wanted for ages - filtering the request logs, super handy for debugging 👌

Genuinely ridiculous that in 2025 roaming packages can max out at 10MB of data per day
(This was the only package for this destination, and yes you can get a local sim..)

Unexpected water leaks can really throw a wrench in your plans 😬
Finally caught up to where I wanted to be yesterday, at least.

Finally writing the announcement post for @locally.build
On the one hand, it's exciting to be announcing soon.
On the other, there's a lot of moving parts that I'm sure I'm going to forget something.
Either way, curious to hear what folks think. #Azure #DevOps

Just seen a group rock up, cover one Billie Eilish song (far enough back that few could hear) with two cameras and a mic boom recording the band and their friends in the crowd, then leave
