@EastRenCouncil Would only had a deficit of £8m if they didn’t sign off the £4m for the new building! You would have thought reducing it by 1/3 would be logical! Oh no!

The council set its budget for 2024/25 today. We faced a £12m budget gap for the year ahead and this has been closed in a range of ways. A Council Tax freeze was confirmed, as well as £3.1m of savings. Read more: orlo.uk/6lrBH

@ijonas @joe_jag How time flies! Not been to an event in ages now (not just because of Covid). Maybe a 2025 reunion 😂

I've just realised I've been running tech meetups in Glasgow for over 16 years. Here is me looking sad in 2006 as my laptop battery died before everyone else. #php4life

Interesting to find others having the same experience with @fireangelsafety CS. I have 2x gateways that initially they said they would replace and now say they won’t. They can’t even tell me how to hard reset the devices! 🤔

For anyone thinking of buying smoke alarms, avoid @fireangelsafety. I had two expensive alarms fail within 3 months (should last 10 years) and 7 months later I am still waiting for replacements despite regular chasing. Check Trustpilot - many similar experiences.

I've been reading The Martian (why did I wait so long??) and now I have an insatiable desire to go back and rewatch the movie....

Question. What do companies do with old laptops they no longer need in the UK? We have about 4 or 5 at the moment, as upgrading everyone. Most the batteries don't last long, but for the most part they work. Just need wiping and clean install. #business

@packagemanifest @mattbrailsford @KevinJump The overhead of the GraphQL mesh approach would be the obvious blocker for smaller sites though as it requires additional infra etc… (keep up the great work on the podcast)

@packagemanifest @mattbrailsford @KevinJump Listened to the latest episode the other day and totally agree on the GraphQL point @KevinJump made. Hot chocolate seems like a much more friendly (.net) approach than the other lib. Also GraphQL mesh may be another option for a more decoupled approach.

@zpqrtbnk @mattbrailsford Also if you allow for this in your licence there is a likely hood you’ll attract higher value targets with bigger pockets. One of the side effects of this is security testing which they will likely pay for and report issues back to you!

@billywizz @mattbrailsford +1 Icing on the cake: have a shared-source plan (with NDA maybe) for those few devs you trust. I am happy paying a tool that I need and works well. In most cases I don’t need to see the source. In a few cases it helps a lot debugging.

@mattbrailsford For me it’s more to do with can I trust the developer a)to provide something that works. B) to support it while I need it. C) tell me when it’s dead. The way you work ticks all these boxes!

@mattbrailsford IMO and please take this as it’s meant. You made your reputation on delivering high quality software and tools people needed. You made the choice to provide that as oss. Did people take the source and use it? probably. Did people build equal reputations off your work? No!

Hey fellow dev friends, what are you using for stress/load testing these days? Got a client who's worried about a big spike in traffic soon, but the original devs never stress tested the site, so we have no idea if it'll be able to handle it without extra help. Any killer tools?

@mattbrailsford Still waiting for access to co-pilot and my request for gpt3 access has been in for ages ☹️. No AI for me at the moment.
