The list of reasons really is too long to include. From the continued worsening of individual bits of tax legislation such as IR35, dividend allowances, employers NI, corporation tax, etc. to the stalling of real GDP per capita combined wit

Strange to see this here, it's quite delayed. The Henley data was poor, but this criticism was too. I don't think we have the data and I fear the Henley data actually underestimates the reality. FWIW, anecdotally my peers with the

It is, but again I'd caution that it will go and do things you don't want it to. For instance, I've been working on an app recently with some social share icon logos in svg. Whenever I get it to tweak bits of code elsewhere i

Here's one source, I checked a couple, the numbers varied between sources curiously but they seemed reasonably consistent. They do show drops in the last year or two, but I find it hard to attribute that to Brexit when they're sti

How did international student income drop with Brexit, when the UK now have 4-600k student visas granted in each of the last few years vs 2-300k pre-Brexit?

AI produces code that often looks really good, at a pace quicker than you can read it. It can be really, really hard to tell when what it's producing is a bag of ** and it's leading you down the garden path. I've been a dev f

I think this sounds a little like it's viewed through a lens of survivor bias. If the UK had made a success of HS2 (difficult to imagine with governments in much of living memory, but let's sidestep all of that) then it could have

It's a slightly mixed picture. Knife crime is one area that's been trending up for 10 years now. Shoplifting is at a 20 year high. Fraud is up. Firearms offences are roughly level. But criminal damage is down. Of course, if you ca

That's interesting. I've ended up writing a React app using tailwind with python backend, partly because it's what LLMs seemed to choke a bit less on. When I've tried it with other languages I've given up. It does k

That's sort of what I mean. I looked up an Arai Tour X5, thanks for the link. It gives four stars and some colours for different zones at set impact speeds in m/s in a lab. It tells me it meets standard UN ECE REG 22.06 with a dou

I was terrified for his head. Great review though, as someone who's been mulling over getting a bike licence and struggling to wrap their head around gear ratings, this was eye opening.

Theres only so much efficiency you can squeeze out though if, say, you're using AWS Lambda. I can see this helping mitigate those cold start times.

You can do that for the odd small tool, but you can't launch GreatNewThing™ without having it's own full domain! Except it never gets any users. I suppose the plus side to spending months rather than days on projects that never go

I think it would, once you put in place mechanisms to move your income down to below £100k, you can and probably should tweak them further to reduce your tax bill even further.

This may be slightly chicken and egg; it's the 95th percentile of salaries partly because no one wants to take a salary above that. Instead they use salary sacrifice, pensions, dividends, capital gains, leaving money in personal servic

Personally I've known people moving to Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, the US, Singapore. There's obviously a variety of factors that go into the choices people make and certainly no perfect choice.

I'm afraid there are people who cannot tolerate NHS criticism, you may not be aware of them until you've tried to see a change in the NHS. Some of them would even describe their very existence as a strawman, but it's not a st
