Designer, developer, writer, reader, feminist, atheist, optimist. I believe there is goo in everyone.
The answer is "absolutely f***ing useless" - it's annoying you can't plug your OpenAI key into Windsurf.

40 years since I got my first Spectrum; that's where I start counting from.

Looking forward to your updated article with Lord of the Rings at the top of the list in a year or two. Or three. Five, maybe?

Shower even if the rain don't stink,
Stop caring what people think,
Always buy the first round of drinks.

Learn how to shut your trap,
'Til you got a good answer back,
Admiring others, watch your back.

When in doubt, do something kind,
Be prepared to change your mind,
Always leave the past behind.

Boogie Nights is his best, but my favourite will always be Magnolia.

I tried Inoreader but couldn't make it stick. What I have found useful, though, is scheduling time to read a couple of email newsletters right before I sit down to work in the morning -- I find it helps to remind me that, yes, I do still care about industry stuff and learning new things.

I've got one - never seen them live, so fingers crossed I make it through the online random queue scrum tomorrow morning.
