@Pingosaurus This is either a look of love or deep contempt from my self-folding cat. Aren't they just adorable.

#notmycat is really impressed with the chemistry Nobel Prize today going to the computational solution for things like protein folding but would like to know when Deep Mind are going to look into the emerging issue of cat folding as she demonstrates here.

@DeckOfPandas I saw someone say that on here and I was like "you've never built anything important".

Also, the worship of velocity over all else, including good decisions will only get worse with GenAI, but it's the culmination of not understanding that velocity is a consequence of good practices, not the goal.
And if you think "my org doesn't do that", you're probably wrong.
tim is different now🥰@elchefe
People are laughing at this response but this same type of “I didn’t know what was in it or the ramifications” problem is going to be in literally everything that GenAI touches. Enterprises can afford lawyers to try to dodge accountability, but you really need to do the calculus.

@RussTheMagic Having not heard of this before, I just spent a couple of mins googling it and...no, no I can't!

"Kit—the email-first operating system for creators who mean business."
Can anyone tell me what this means?

@elchefe And my audible outrage actually resulted in me making friends with the person I was sitting next to when he was similarly outraged!

@elchefe At LeadDev London this year, someone put up a slide saying "Iteration velocity solves all known software issues" (yes, their company sells GenAI tooling for devs), and I was like, err, wat. Sometimes you, gasp, actually have to think in order to solve a problem!

Today's mood: I just finished a very cosy game where you wander around a rainforest, make friends with a capybara, and photograph butterflies. And now it's over and I'm just here on the sofa like okay cat you're cool and everything but where's my new capybara friend? #CosyGames

Working in tech is a constant rollercoaster of feeling like "holy shit i am a genius" and also "how the fuck did I make it this far knowing so little"

SO tempted to submit the talk I've been working on called "The Cloud Has Made Us Reckless" to an AWS Community Day, but mathematical probability is the only reason I don't think I have zero chance of having it accepted.

The wonderful Joon Park is currently telling us what being a musical conductor teaches him about being a good engineering leader at the @TheLeadDev Meetup here at @SoftwireUK. And the snacks are out and the conversation's already been flowing! I love this community #LeadDevMeetup

A highly successful attempt at a conference wave from David Yee (@tangentialism, VP Engineering at @nytimes ). A masterclass in generating buy-in…and also some highly pleasing silly fun. #LeadingEngLondon

I’m such a fan of @Geek_Manager: “Any of you in a SaaS business? Well you’re probably interested in pirate metrics, ARR” Education, wonderful delivery AND humour? Yes please yes please #LeadingEngLondon

Learning about leadership from the Toronto raccoons with Cate Huston of @DuckDuckGo: persistent, collaborative, flexible, resilient. Our jobs as leaders can be really hard. “When your job gets harder, make a friend.” #leadingenglondon

Wonderful that @Geek_Manager is hosting us at #LeadingEngLondon today. I’ve already had some great conversations and I’m only one cup of tea in! Loving the idea that this conference will include interactive workshops.

Wonderful but sobering talk by Hywel Carver about the Post Office Horizon scandal, reminding us that we should trust humans more than computers.
