.@joingauntletai has impressed me so far, but I have one major doubt. So far, I've seen AI get *mindboggling* results… but only on greenfield projects. In other words, easy mode. Most day-to-day software work doesn't involve building entirely new apps from scratch. It involves…

Nothing matters less than what childless people have to say about parenting. No kids, no opinion.

What if we stopped bombing random Middle Eastern countries and just liberated the UK?

Enough!

Now the British need VPNs to know what's happening, just like the Chinese.

David Lammy says he's always had imposter syndrome. Who wants to tell him?

Got some spare time for once, so am trying to improve the pathfinding in Slayer. Currently working on adding layers of elevation to the map:

If Gawker journalists celebrate your death, you lived a life worth living. RIP Hulk

Essential soundtrack for some late night vibe coding

Zoomers have never experienced economic growth.

QA is about to become a huge bottleneck in software development. AI lets us churn out HUGE amounts of code extremely fast, but you still need to make sure it works. AI can help with testing too, but if you _really_ want to be sure it works, you need the reassurance of human eyes…

Thanks to AI, this XKCD is no longer true. I keep thinking of new ways to speed up my workflow — an automation, a shell script, a bash function — and Claude oneshots it. Productivity gains on top of productivity gains.

Maybe it's my bubble but it really does feel like something has snapped in the UK lately. A critical mass of people have run out of patience. Anger is spilling into action. Put on your seatbelts, we're in for some turbulence.

There are still at least 5 or 6 people at Gauntlet whose names I'm not sure about and now it's too late to ask 😬

I had doubts about Gauntlet, but 5 weeks in I'll say this with confidence: @joingauntletai is the best thing I've ever done in my professional life. Can't recommend it enough. If you're smart, ambitious & tech-savvy, you should DEFINITELY apply. Come and build the future:

I’ll bet there is.

If I move to the US I will unironically call myself a refugee from socialism. In the US I’d make twice as much, pay less tax, live in a house 3x bigger (with air conditioning), pay half as much to fill my car, and generally have a better quality of life in pretty much every…

Arrived at the Gauntlet office today to find someone left a Mac Mini on my desk. No-one has yet claimed it. Texas law says it’s mine now, right?

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the London bombings. Which means that if you'd been stabbed to death in London on the same day, your murderer would be out of jail by now.
