I really wish more apps would support left-handed users... I'm forever accidentally liking/interacting with things because I scroll with my left thumb. I'm very grateful that @felix.gripe implemented "sinister mode" on spike.news

Have you listened to the audiobooks? They elevate the material, like Steven Pacey does with Joe Abercrombie's work. I've just finished a relisten of the cinematic audio version from Soundbooth Theatre.

I know. We're very torn. The X account is 6 years old and has 18.5k followers. Bluesky is 2 years old and has 1k followers. Same on LinkedIn. AzureWeekly - 31k on X, 800 on Bluesky :(

An excellent write-up and analysis of the recent Big Data LDN event. Barry poses an excellent question "Where was Microsoft?" and says "if you're not in the room, you're not part of the conversation."

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week.

After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject.

Anyone looking for a coder for a remote gig (or hybrid in Stockholm)?
