I'm fascinated by folks who set out to be rich and/or famous - and don't really care how. A lot of them, later in life, seem to desperately need to be seen as serious people.

"Agile is for dev teams that don’t ship".

U-huh. Are you, by any chance, selling "A.I."?

I can't help wondering if Trump's spending most of his time talking on the phone with ChatGPT pretending to be other world leaders.

What's it like being a software developer over the age of 50? Well, how can I put this? Have you seen the movie Logan's Run..?

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam @dwasmkuk It wouldn't be the first time developers deliberately chose to do something that actually makes things worse

VAT accounts done, client quotes and invoices sent, laptop all prepped for Java shenanigans, and all set for a 2 pm start for day #1 of the Code Craft 3-day workshop with a group in the US.

Looking forward to it, and a little relieved not to be doing it in person under current circumstances.

@zef Not only that, we've also determined what "intelligence" is.

If only theoretical physicists had thought to get VCs to pour billion of dollars into Unified Field Theory start-ups, we'd have that problem solved in minutes!

"Context7 MCP has totally changed my agentic coding flow. Combined with the Perplexity MCP, I’m now building in half the time, with near-zero errors."

Oh do f**k off, there's a good chap.
