What to do with the efficiency? Scale back product and engineering teams - i.e. reduce cost (seems common) or use the velocity increase to build out the platform faster

Stored up trouble 2 years ago, installing an SSD into my iMac with an OWC thermal sensor. 2025, the sensor comes unstuck falling onto the power supply board - Loud bang.. new SSD and new Power board needed. But not a new sensor - turns out it was never needed :/ blog.creacog.co.uk/2025/11/28/i...

At the BBC Radio Theatre London last night for the first of four 'Moral Revolution' Reith Lectures 2025 - Rutger Bregman... this first one 'A Time of Monsters'. Hopefully the three next lectures will have some thoughts on turning to better times. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

So, my Adobe Photography monthly plan goes up soon from £9.98/month to £14.99/month soon. I don't use it enough to justify paying such an increase. I'll be looking for other options when I next have some photos to process.

Completed my first 'Surface Mount Component' soldering practice. Quite pleased with my steady hand, tweezers and a big magnifying glass. (Also my first Bluesky share from my blog).

1st bluesky post... Jumped from X. Had joined Twitter in 2007 when it was a geeky fun - e.g. blog widgets displaying what fellow developers were working on. Downloaded my X content, but no need to repost any of that here. Looking forward to exploring this new pasture.
