I don't disagree, probably. I keep finding myself working on internal projects that are driven by a UI and have little business logic but lots of I/O to other systems. With no hard requirements, no guarantee of shipping and no dir

Not Microsoft, but my network's expanded significantly including to associates at Microsoft. Mostly helped by the people I'd normally struggle to contact because they hide away in different buildings, behind different physical and

Innovation is an awful word because it means different things to different people. Doesn't it just. I approached someone in charge of innovation for a part of the UK's National Health Service. I offered some software (at no cost

It's nice that AWS services tend to do one thing. But it does sometimes mean that there's always just one more AWS service you need. One more service with a different web console UI, varied support in the different infrastructure

Feels like you'd have to lean significantly away from anonymisation to want to leave public proofs of cross account identities lying around. Maybe that's a more common use case for businesses and high profile people though than wa

How do you do that when you have an established word an entire industry understands? Words only have the meaning we convey to them and as soon as you put more words in the mix that dilutes any clarity. We're back to the xkcd on standar

Probably, eventually. Just today I've caught myself talking about black boxes, no skin off my nose and Chinese whispers, wondering if those are on a list somewhere or if they will be. I'd say it all feels like papering over the cr

My first instinct was that I like the approach. I certainly agree there's an issue here. But I would worry about the creep of this as a feature. Some could argue the mistake was only the timing, or that the mistake was that it was post

The standard solution for any issue on AWS is to add another service.

One of my many AWS pet hates is that they have a service called Amazon WorkSpaces, i.e. AWS.

I'm not sure this is incremental progress. If we rename the branches beyond Github's UI lots of things will break. And will it really affect racist attitudes even marginally? I can't see it myself. In which case, rather than

That'd be a horrendous breaking change. I'm assuming github are just going to alias it in the UI. I'd hate to have used both a master and a main branch before this.

I used to write STB apps for an SVG ekioh browser, probably over a decade ago now. We were in the UK but had no UK customers. These guys are obviously immensely impressive, but they're only one part of the chain. It frustrates me to th

It's simply cost-benefit. I mostly work on relatively short term projects these days rather than long lived products and so my commit messages tend to be single sentences, with an extra paragraph if it was particularly involved. It tak

Get a larger, higher resolution monitor. And when you can't do that get another monitor. My main one's 5k2k and I could still use more space.

I think !$ will do similar, at least in bash. (I'm on a phone and normally rely on muscle memory so it might be the wrong symbols).

Sorry, it is. Managed to cross wires in my head. In my weak defence, it's not often we get two bits of code open sourced in a week relating to UK government policy.
