As someone who uses Apple Pay, it’s interesting to see people use Google pay
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it work the way people expect it to, there’s always some confusion about whether the app is ready, if the phone is in the right place, etc
Half the time people give up and use a card instead?

A while back I stopped giving out my email unless it was absolutely necessary (I dislike email)
So many modern systems arbitrarily require an email, when the process itself doesn’t
Like checking into a hotel - the machines need an email but just chat with someone and it’s by-passable

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.
This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Getting compensation right is hard.
But when people are incentivised to do things that actively harm the business/product because it’s the easiest way for them to get a promotion?
Wild.

Owning code in production changes how we write it. ‘You Build It, You Run It’ isn’t asking too much of developers, imo. It’s a great way to build reliable software.

Spent a little bit of time adding a small but useful feature to @locally.build that I've wanted for ages - filtering the request logs, super handy for debugging 👌

Genuinely ridiculous that in 2025 roaming packages can max out at 10MB of data per day
(This was the only package for this destination, and yes you can get a local sim..)

Unexpected water leaks can really throw a wrench in your plans 😬
Finally caught up to where I wanted to be yesterday, at least.

Finally writing the announcement post for @locally.build
On the one hand, it's exciting to be announcing soon.
On the other, there's a lot of moving parts that I'm sure I'm going to forget something.
Either way, curious to hear what folks think. #Azure #DevOps

Just seen a group rock up, cover one Billie Eilish song (far enough back that few could hear) with two cameras and a mic boom recording the band and their friends in the crowd, then leave

This is incredible reporting. Not the breach itself but the mention of Workday putting a noindex tag in its breach disclosure page, which effectively tells search engines to ignore it.

Spent a little bit of time polishing the UX whilst updating the docs for @locally.build
It's a small change, but it makes it far more approachable.

I always say if you’re cringing at your old work, it just means you’re getting better
Feeling embarrassed by your past work is not a sign of incompetence. It’s a mark of growth.
Regretting your prior decisions doesn't reflect poor judgment. It reveals new insight.
Cringing at your old opinions doesn't display ignorance. It demonstrates an open mind.

The more time I spend writing documentation, the more I find it's a case of the more time you have the simpler a document can be.
You write one document which you end up breaking out to a second, which then enables simplifying the first - and then leads to a third.
Which is to say it's rewarding.
