The London Future of coding meetup came back last night!
Now renamed to "the feeling of computing". More context on the name change: feelingof.com/the-name/
I handed over running it to @todepond.com, @mimireyburn.bsky.social, and Chee. They're doing great – same energy and wild demos as always

Conversation: LLMs and the what/how loop
How the feedback loop between “what” and “how” shapes programming structure — and how paradigms and LLMs fit into that loop.

Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day.

In the 01970s environmental activist Peter Berg said the phrase “one world” was a “bullshit transnational fuckup” that put us on a path to abstraction and lack of accountability. Instead, we needed planetary framing.
But why is the phrase “one planet” or “whole Earth” so transformative?

I've been thinking a lot about what I like to call "Consumer-focused API Design."
It all starts with a user story, right? From there, you get three ramifications.
