📣We've undergone a rebrand! 📆 Our new Swiss-inspired visual identity is now live! Our Co-Founder and CEO, Adam Bird, shares the company's branding journey and what we learnt along the way in our latest blog post. hubs.ly/Q01QQy_s0 #rebrand #newdesign #branding #saas

D&D Honour Among Theives is excellent - a proper fun fantasy adventure like I've not seen made in years! D&D is present but not in an overdone, constantly winking at the audience way. Had way more fun than I expected to, well worth a watch!

Engineers hate being wrong, but it can actually be a pretty useful tool for maintaining team harmony: adam.whittingham.dev/posts/being-wr…

@shzwlkr Friday deploys are the best deploys! 🌈🌟

No matter how many times I do it, releasing past 5pm on a Friday makes me nervous 😅

Reddit is down, so I've just finished learning 3 languages, discovering a new species of owl, and writing a book to rival Lord of the Rings.

@AdamWhittingham @marksandspencer @thread "when using Firefox"

.@marksandspencer bought @thread, an excellent way of buying clothes, and closed it... yet don't seem to have absorbed anything that made Thread so good. The M&S site regularly fails to even function as a shop when using Firefox. I know you can't just merge sites, but seriously.

@marksandspencer @thread There's a lesson about innovation and capitalism in here somewhere.

As we wind down for the year, checking some stats from @cronofy 2,500+ merged PRs, 1,800+ production deploys 😎 Onwards and upwards in 2023! 📈🚀🌕

@markharbs 1. Pick up shoes 2. Enter fugue state 3. I'm now in the car with my shoes on

Do you put your shoe on, tie the laces, then put the next shoe on, OR do you put two shoes on then tie the laces? I’ve been trying both and havent found a method I’m totally comfortable with yet. I appreciate I’m in my mid 30s.

My Mastodon parachute is on just in case: @ad@ruby.social

@cassman_rich It's almost like presenting simple answers to complex questions isn't working out for the world! surpised_pika.jpg

It's sad how often talent in tech is thrown aside by management that doesn't have a clue how difficult something is to get right. #TwitterBlue

@irutsun @whoisgraham Totally - it's far more of ye olde internet where something amazing has been built but it's not packaged for consumption without needing a bit of reading yet. I hope the sudden spike in interest might change that!

@irutsun @whoisgraham Anyone on any server. As with email, you now have an address that can be used across servers. Explaining it is for sure a big step, especially as there's no marketing team pushing it and it's mostly techies in there who need to explain the value, not the architecture.

@irutsun Also RIP kool_karl@ntlworld.com

@irutsun @whoisgraham Your Gmail account let's your email anyone. A Mastodon account let's your follow/see anyone. Not preaching anything, just think it'd be a shame if we all saw the only way of running a service is one giant corp mining our data at the cost of privacy.

@irutsun @whoisgraham ... But what about for your emails? 😉

Today's trick or treat: Seeing an album on Spotify that I thought of as pretty new, only to see it's under the "Turning 10" category 👴
