Get on a bicycle at least 6 out of 7 days even if only for a gentle 20min ride into town. Between 2015.06-2022.05 I only had a bike for transport, and since buying the car in May I defaulted to driving. This will change in 2023.

Whenever I donate something it’s always on condition of anonymity. Recently I donated my old top-spec race MTB to a bike club, under the condition it was to be gifted to one of the Ukrainian’s who’ve been displaced and now live in our commu

Bandcampers forget the platform is for underground artists and those not tied by contract to the heavyweight labels. You'll never see mainstream pop artists on there. I love to promote Bandcamp where possible but have to remember what

I have no issue in paying the premium Deezer subscription with access to FLAC (16/44) files to build up my DJ-friendly music archive. I never play out/stream/upload mixes so audio only leaves the house if I save a mix on my

This alone doesn't fill me with much confidence. Such a basic opsec error.

English is the only language I know and my international friends take great pleasure in correcting my grammatical errors. I've learned a great deal about my mother tongue from them!

That's a great tip for reducing notifications further. Alert fatigue is a bigger problem than organisations often realise.

I had a gig which required opening ridiculously large XML files (metadata for music albums). Some classical music compilations (think "6 CD bargain bin" boxsets) would end up with 1-2GB XML files. Sublime didn't even flinch

For 5yrs my friend was a barber by trade and I would always go to him (wherever he worked regardless of price) and would sit in silence while he did his job. He appreciated the silence as, like you say, most of his clients would make small

These type of questions are fairly normal in interviews but often as a discussion. The candidate is expected to consider (or at least acknowledge) much of the above when replying to open-ended questions, perhaps asking the interviewer which

Bandcamp once had an advert for recruiting a developer - it simply said "Check the headers" .... and this is where the trail began. Although I didn't apply for the role it was a fun challenge solving steps along the way and I

I worked for a client in the streaming music space. They were going through the technical testing phase of partnering with a high end audio manufacturer. One of their requirements was to retrieve the metadata of N songs within a fixed tim

This might sound snarky but I assure you it is not. The most simple method is applying for a "senior" role then accepting their offer. In the smaller start-up/scale-up world where "everyone's a senior" you&#x2

We use Github Actions on self-hosted runners with the exception of "human interaction" steps which usually run on the normal public runners. So far no complaints to be honest.

The key difference is you don't need the burger but most likely do the hospital thing. This is where the exploitation lies.

The cost of "lock-in" is often less than building a "cloud agnostic" product. Trying to work around cloud vendor specific nuances can increase the risk of that component/feature failing. The increased risk and long

Similar to management roles in the armed forces - those on the ground have to make split second decisions based on the latest information they have to hand. Getting it wrong usually has fatal consequences and it takes a certain personality

There is much diplomacy involved as the wider the scope of the project, more teams are involved, resulting in even more "right" ways to do X. Although I'm not an "architect" by title, things I build do impact many t

It does have a solid and well documented upgrade process, provided you're on the latest stable version prior to executing the upgrade. Fall behind by 3 or 4 versions and it's a long laborious task to upgrade each one. For product

Yes, the code is treated no differently from any other language. A human has to confirm changes which will impact others. The key is to act quickly when presented with a plan. It's advised to decline stale pending approvals and kick

Our teams all control their own infrastructure so there is very low risk of two pipelines trying to alter the same resources. Step 1 plans, and outputs the changes to a local plan file. Step 2 prompts for a human approval after viewing the
