Well congratulations. In doing so, this feels fresh, yet uniquely Who. Whatever happens with the current series, it's in need of a creative change. Future show runners should look here for some inspiration.

The first album I purchased was a cassette tape with music from that era. The Leisure Hive opening fanfare was my favorite (aside from the Howell theme).

Came here to say that these have really caught my eye. They're polished, but still uniquely Doctor Who. The way you render planets gives it a scale and width that was lacking before. But doesn't go "in-your-face" like the modern era.

Just picked one of these up. By far the best keyboard experience I have ever had. The piano patches are great on here and I find myself switching depending on if I'm playing show tunes or going for the Nashville sound.

Doctor Who and Star Trek officially exist in the same universe.

They can't make it work on macOS either.

Wil Cantrell @wilcantrell.bsky.social · Aug 2

We need more sci-fi like “Foundation” and less of whatever joke Star Trek and Doctor Who have become.

I didn’t like the Timeless Child at all and hoped it would go away like Paul McGann’s “half-human” confession.

Nice. Makes me want to hit the road for a nature hike myself.

I understand many criticisms of LLMs including making people dumber...

But doesn't anyone find the irony these studies used computers--machines that were literally invented to think for human beings?

Wil Cantrell @wilcantrell.bsky.social · Jun 25

Doctor Who needs to rest. Each era after Moffat just gets louder and less grounded. Before the next iteration, let this tired old thing rest and find incubate for the next renewal.

Curse you Disney+ deal. We have so many open plot holes from the last 2 seasons that will never get resolved on screen

I'm in my mid fifties and still learning new things. I set up my first Linux server with a web service running on it last week. After all this time in macOS, I'm finally diving into the terminal commands and SSH. Basics for many, but I was spoiled growing up with Visual Studio and its wizards.

Code reviews are getting weird. Just whose code am I reviewing? If it's an entry dev who I'm mentoring...would they understand my comments? Or would they be offended because it was their decision not the AI?

I've been working with 2 less experienced coders who have never created Flutter apps on a big project these past couple of weeks. We're using Cursor to fill in the knowledge gaps. There are some issues, but as the tech improves, there are definite career threatening implications here. #vibecoding

Nothing surprises me.

Welcome to the, “Nobody even cares anymore, let’s just get it over with,” portion of the end times.

Wil Cantrell @wilcantrell.bsky.social · Apr 29

Working on my first vibe, coding project using Cursor. I still don’t get how non-coders can do this… but they are. One mistake, and no source control can kill a solution in less than a minute.

Under new management, perhaps the Kennedy Center will finally get a live action version of "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut". It's even got a culture war with Canada.
