My work goal is to bring humanity back in the workplace for the benefit of employees and companies.

My overall goal is to make the world a better and kinder place.

Some values: integrity, authenticity, kindness, fairness, responsibility, honesty, being present..

I am badass and caring 💕

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

Do you and your colleagues want to make the most of LLM-augmented coding, without falling down rabbit holes and getting stuck with unmaintainable code?

I’m running some in-person workshops in November, at Trifork Academy* in Amsterdam and @sagconference.bsky.social (SAG) in Berlin...

Newcrafts Conference @newcrafts.bsky.social · 2h

A learning hour is a short training session for a group of software developers. Each one has a specific learning goal - an idea to discuss or a skill to practice. Technical coaches and senior developers can use these as a regular opportunity to level-up their teams.

Devices to help parents anonymously surrender an infant are spreading across the U.S., stirring emotions and debate.

It's PHYSICS FOR CATS publication day!! Luna has her copy: do you? www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

A black cat sits on a wicker basket reading the book PHYSICS FOR CATS by Tom Gauld... Ok, so she's not really reading it. She's not even quite looking at it to be completely honest. But it is possible to imagine that she is reading and thoroughly enjoying it.

Are you in a technical leadership position? Do you worry you’re not technical enough?

You’re not alone! It’s an incredibly common concern, and it can have a huge negative impact on your ability to do your job effectively.

Your career is worth investing in. >>>

Skriv under för att bevara sexualundervisningen i skolan.

Mer stöd behövs för att bevara sexualundervisningen i skolan, skriver RFSU.

RFSU skriver i ett mejl:

Hej Tilda Maria!
Jag är faktiskt mållös. 89 000 personer har skrivit under för att rädda sexualundervisningen. Du var en av dem – tusen, tusen tack!

Vi är så nära 100 000. Med så många underskrifter kan regeringen inte ignorera kraven! Men i måndags hände något som hotar kampanjen.

När vi var så här nära att nå målet stängde Meta av våra annonser. De tycker att vårt upprop är ”för politiskt”. Utan annonser kan vi bara nå målet på ett sätt: med din hjälp!

Kan du dela uppropet? Med din hjälp når vi tillsammans 100 000 underskrifter.

How is it different cleaning up code bases created with vibe coding, and ones created by humans?

Just curious :)

Accountability is not about blame but ownership. When teams take responsibility, they build trust, strengthen collaboration, and move forward with confidence. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

An unexpected though not surprising gift from #agilecam is getting corona 😬

At least that explains why I feel so tired. Add some coughing and on/off head ache, and voila my test was positive.

At least I don’t have fever, and I vaccinated every year, so I will be fine soon..

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
p.s. My new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out this week. Details at www.tomgauld.com

Panel 1
A figure stands at a lectern
"This image illustrates my theory that, presented with a sufficient quantity of intricate formulae, overcomplicated diagrams and impenetrable acronyms, an audience will agree with almost anything."
The screen is completely packed with such things

Panel 2,3,4,5.
Four audience members say enthusiastically: "My thoughts exactly!", "Hear, hear!", "I quite agree!" and "Excellent point!"

My TikTok feed is talking about the “passive-aggressive” resistance in Portland.

What a great description!
Find passive-aggression annoying? So will fascist!
Their reaction makes them look totally out of line? Hey, truth in advertising!

Our best hope is the creativity of ordinary Americans.
