Great talk by @simonpainter.bsky.social last night at @dotnetnorth.bsky.social. Going to challenge myself to try and integrate more Functional approaches into my code.

Thoroughly enjoyed the new Mission Impossible. Bit of route 1 exposition at the beginning but apart from that, a proper good action movie

First D&D sesh of the year, and I think something weird may have happened over the Christmas break. The team created 2 attack plans and both came off! Normally it’s just a table of chaos. I don’t like it!!

Doing a talk this week and still not finished the deck. I had 2 weeks off over Xmas to do it, yet here we are leaving it to the last minute yet again. You’d think at 37 I may have learnt by now 😅

Nerd sniped myself this week. Pushed a 2pm app update to the product team on Friday before turning my out of office on for 2 weeks. Immediately got a crash report that it’s not working on iOS 16. Got that niggle, so had to spend my Saturday afternoon fixing it. Couldn’t leave it 2 weeks 😅
