Living now in Central Europe is scarring and frustrating. I’m angry seeing surprised posts here from the US folks that Trumps does what he does. Is it really that surprising?
Also as Polish person, we have a deep remember of Munich, Jalta “piece agreements”. That’s what’s happening now again.

Is there anything more depressing than a Labour Prime Minister invoking Thatcher? Does Starmer not realise how we got here? Deregulation, selling the 'family jewels', promoting the idea that "there is no society"? Staggering

Just been in the supermarket and saw a fella nick a turkey and leg it out of the shop.
The security guard chased him and shouted "HEY! WHAT YOU DOING WITH THAT TURKEY?!", and the bloke shouted back "ROAST POTATOES, PARSNIPS, SPROUTS AND PIGS IN BLANKETS"

So many amazing voices, theories and packages in the #dotnet space now. Just need a reason to put them all into practice outside of my working life. Anybody got a decent idea? I can commit to 30 minutes per day until I retire (then it's golf/moaning from then on).

Really looking forward to all the AI bros coming begging for back-end roles and they only know Python. They probably know React too though so there's a good 10-year career left there.

I've come to understand what's happening in frontend's decade-long failure to deliver decent user experiences as a sort of epistemic closure. I'm calling it "frameworkism", and the epicenter is now React. Here's a lot of words on why we should all reject it:

Cool, now do "pick up your timeline where you left off". I reckon that'll cost less than $15m to implement.
