Out of curiosity for the UK postcode system & BBC mail office, I once received a parcel delivered solely with the address "Drew, W1A1AA"

My "Discover" feed is entirely cats. Don't get me wrong, lovely, but I would like to maybe see something else occasionally

Part of me quite fancies working in a startup, or even applying to YC, but it appears that 95% of them are just ChatGPT wrappers these days.

Really enjoyed @ffconf.org yesterday in Brighton, was really insightful. It's a nice reminder that coding isn't all that makes up being an engineer. Its so much about how you think, and work with others #ffconf
