I used to write PAGES of fanfiction. Why is it so hard to write one (1) essay now???

Where did the time go? Do you regularly feel like the day got away from you. That long to do list has very little marked off. Even more importantly, have you felt that all your time was spent on…

Chronology, reversed. Bubbles in my browsers. Blaugust. A quest for knowledge.

Still no rain. I had thought we had a hosepipe ban in Brighton but then I looked it up and it turns out I’ve been judiciously schlepping water about in the watering can for no reason. Using the…

Trying to put words to what I think makes me a great engineer.

At some point I stopped opening Linear and just asked the agent. The good UI, the workflows, the automations I used to love had stopped mattering. That's when the unsubscribing started.

A year ago I sent this video to John Siracusa trying to convince him to use Nozbe for his feedback gathering for the ATP.FM show. I love the ATP (Accidental Tech Podcast) show and I’m a paying member…

When you’ve learnt your craft, you become much more boring at your job. At least that’s Dave Rupert’s theory in his blog post explaining all the concerns that make him a boring developer. I reckon…

Big Walk, 2026 GOTY, has finally released. Seven friends and I played on Monday and it’s SO fun. We had a pretty scuffed start to the session (I tried running it on my Macbook, but I guess it’s not…

When your team is overloaded, don't descope by task count. Hand off the work that costs the least context to lose, not the biggest item on the board.

This latest update is pretty small, but I still have some words to spew about what my plans for my website are (if they can be called "plans" lol), why I've updated so little this year, and what I'm…

Back at Otakuthon again and having a great and very busy time!

Two basketball sessions this week, and I gave myself plenty of time to warm up before each one. Not that warming up made any difference to my jump shot. I seemed to go through streaks of makes and…
