@Suhail With a good tech brain, everything is open now. All you need is intent, drive and curiosity

PSA: Technological nihilism is the belief that there's no point now due to AI. But do not feed into it. Often the deeper issue is the identity loss that is affecting everyone one way or another. You will evolve and re-tool to work on harder problems even if you cannot see it.

#Glastonbury2025, just recovered from #Glastonbury2007. Take it easy kids!

@lawlaws87 I cancelled the DD. No way they can take that much

@Jimboteth Mine has gone up over 120% to £86 a month for a tiny 2 bed house with no bath , 2 adults

Wow, my thames water bill went up 60% today despite having £60 in credit on the account. Anyone else seeing this? #waterinflation #thameswater #ofwat

Had a great experience with @remarkablepaper support. 10/10 and love the product.

I like the start my morning by 2FA logging into 8 different systems. Such fun.

#Barclays web design looks like it's being done by the graduate again

Someone just cold emailed me about Pippette tips from India. There were no tips at all in the email. 0/10.

@unusual_whales Too much avocado toast for the uk government

UK government debt is above 100% of GDP for the first time since 1961, per Bloomberg.

Wow #Djokovic looks in legit trouble. Needs to bring the serve back under control #WIMBLEDON

Most in-demand IT skill is: "Social Skills" according to itjobswatch.co.uk

Currently boxing at Croydon boxing club and playing tennis at Wimbledon, both the best places to learn the respective trades.

Just had a vendor sales pitch where all they talked about nonstop was #AI, completely missing the actual pain points. Maybe I'm a traditionalist.

I've had multiple conversations now about people on the #aftersun movie. Everyone is still traumatized! Great movie but I'm going to Egypt now with it stuck in my head :(.

@Suhail Isn’t that academia? Lots of deep topics to discover but are you on a PhD track now.

Back to reading another paper and being utterly confused by new terms I’ve never heard of before bed. It’s all about the joy it brings me to try hard things anyway.

It’s quite frustrating to feel so behind in software right now after so intensely being a student of it since 8th grade. I am not sure how to catch up other than just continuing to put in the work to accumulate AI knowledge. So if you feel that way, you’re not alone.

@theburningmonk @ubaada Content delivery is not "just one part" of Netflix, it's their most important part. Which doesn't run on AWS... So your comparison/tweet is misleading.

@ubaada They do have their own CDN, which is not part of the $19M EC2 spend. But that's just one part, and a pretty specialized one at that, of Netflix's infra.

This is ridiculous, Netflix's monthly EC2 spend was $19M in 2020 (source: contino.io/insights/whos-…) when EVERYONE was binging TV shows at home. No way an SEO company would spend anywhere near that. Did someone forget to tell them the E in EC2 stands for "elastic"?

My #intellij has so many plugins it feels like a 747 cockpit.

Love that feeling of spending 25 minutes filling out an insurance quote and it says "Server error". So satisfying!
