@heldrida Yeah man Anecdotally, I’ve been tethering from my phone and the quality is surprisingly good But all my neighbours are on fibre just taunting me, I know because I can see their wifi names haha

@thunkoid Quite central and pricey. But maybe even 5G is not consistent there. Hope you can find a better alternative!

How much of an idiot am I for moving into a place that the fastest internet speed is 30 mb/s in central London?

@SaulFloresJr Yeah, this was definitely an oversight on my part, fortunately, renting, so I’ll stick out the leas ideal internet for a year or so and consider my options

Aw man, that sucks. Well, at least it's not 2G internet. I remember looking at buying some property, specifically land, and it had the fiber optic infrastructure ready and I'm like, this is the place I want to buy. As long as your internet doesn't cut off like mine does, for some reason it switches between 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz. Super annoying, but it is what it is.

@heldrida Camden Town, so, depending on definition maybe not central 👀 but pretty close

@thunkoid Just curious, what’s the location?

@SaulFloresJr I need the fiber optic installed via public planning permission, so 5g is probably the play

@thunkoid Why not Starlink or fiber optic? Fiber optic speeds are insanely fast.

@heldrida Fair, I’m just flabbergasted that my options are 5g+ or old school coaxial cable For the past 8 years I’ve been on gnetwork/hyperoptic paying £50/month for.. 10x the speeds

@thunkoid If that’s the only living option you have, you get the 5G+unlimited data plan, it’s faster. So, I’d say you wouldn’t be an idiot, I know how hard it is to find a place in London.

@heldrida I mean, yeah, I can get 5g, but that’s some rural shit, no? Like, how is that different than just buying a modem and getting a mobile plan?

@thunkoid Did you check properly? We have 5G coverage in central London.

@sandislonjsak 🫠

@thunkoid 🤐

@oscargaske Go ultra capitalist monopoly

Found my old list of TODO projects 🥹

@JacobCounsell Dude sick red bull

Good Morning 🌞 {Insert generic recycled platitude or shameless Claude slop here} Did I do this right? WHY WONT YOU LOVE ME ALGORITHM!

@llmDestructor Ngl I have been avoiding my inbox, the notifcations are maxed out and I’m scared to look at all the things I’ve been neglecting to look at Congrats on the gig, let’s grab a drink

@thunkoid I am also working in london (2 weeks so far!) ig my dm dropped through the filter, i mentioned it there last week i think. That overlap sounds great lol its been something you have been trying for the past few months! Would be great to grab a drink this month?

Was just walking through Camden Town with a fan over my shoulder that I just haggled at a shop for Instant envy of the town Business must be good for cooling this summer

Yeah, have been in the 9-5 grind again, have moved a couple times London -> Canada -> Yorkshire, settled back in London now though Indie hacker mode is on pause for.. a while It is interesting though, I’m the tech lead for growth, which has me working with marketing quite a bit which has overlap with my indie hacking How are you doing? Sorry, I downloaded Graviton and then kinda got distracted and never gave feedback 😅

@thunkoid Hey man been some time great to see you are in London! Did you start work at the new place yet?

@MartinTale Damn It’s been 28° in my flat and I thought that was bad I have made small progress by sticking aluminum foil to all the windows

Downstairs is also HOT (33°C) 🥵 Still showing up and building Snail Walk 💪😉🐌

It’s too hot not to have blinds for my windows

@marias_martin T-shirt sizing is alright

@thunkoid What do you think of T-shirt size? 😂

Story points are the stupidest fucking thing ever concocted in software management

@itseduvieira 💯 Headphones out?

@thunkoid I really like to wander around, walking a lot, especially when I'm traveling you see more interesting stuff by walking

Moving back to the city and my step count has exploded, easily hitting 20k every day Obviously helps that it’s summer and I love a good wander about

@pedroshakour Very relatable

I’m trying to become more social on 𝕩 Because in real life i can disappear for weeks and be completely fine. Dangerous skill for a founder. Useful skill for building. Terrible skill for distribution.

@darekgusto Storypoints are soooo 2010’s I’ve experienced enough places that crush it without sprints and points to know that you really just need to let people work, and provide support

@thunkoid Why no love for story points. 😂 They must have good time with you at the company.

@darekgusto I don’t mind heat as much when I’m out and about outside; it’s when trying to work and sleep that kills me There’s a new stretch of thames side walk that opened up, by Blackfriars bridge, that has been shut for as long as I’ve lived in London

@thunkoid I somehow get less steps in the summer when it's hot and I don't feel like going out to sweat all the time. But I still do, need to get back to shape. After coming back to London, have you discovered any new places you haven't seen before?
