   If that fails, try asking a neighbour to read your messages aloud and write down what they say on some A4 size sheets of paper. When they finish talking, you should find that your chat history is now on the A4 sheets of paper. Don’t lose th

   Your best bet is to screenshot the messages on your phone then run them through some OCR software. A larger screen size will make this quicker.

   But then again things were better back then. Actually I’d like to go back there now.

   In the old days people used to write letters and send them in the post. Imagine that. Anyone could hack into a letter, and they were rarely even ever encrypted. Scary.

   What about using Facebook Messenger? I switched to that and have to say I’ve been quite pleased with it.

   Accept fully that it’s completely meaningless and cold and harsh. Then from that perspective, open your eyes and look around at the beauty that’s around you all of the time, from the laughter of your friends or family to a drop of rainwater

    No offence to you. If your kids show a genuine interest then fostering that interest makes sense of course. It could be programming or it could be tennis, if they show an interest then go for it. I guess I’m just sick of seeing so much mark

    I agree completely. I don’t understand the recent trend to believe that we need to get kids into software engineering as soon as they pop out of the birth canal. My friend is an accountant. If he asked me for advice on how to make spreadshe

    Are they all paying customers or does that include freemium users? That’s interesting if they are paying but not using it at all.

    Tbh. I think when people see Software Engineer and Developer on a job ad or a CV, both mean the same thing to them. I certainly see as many job postings using both titles interspersedly.
