Seeing more posts, blogs & tweets about real-world microservices pain. Seems we think hard about backwards compatibility and deprecation in public APIs, but cut corners internally. So if you find yourself having 'all or none' internal microservices releases, that may be why.

Today's panel on AI was terrifying. Yes, there's a risk AI will take loads of jobs and skew elections. Most terrifying was watching senators prioritise jokes about whose state produced the best singer and cutting experts off after just a couple of words ... instead of listening

Breathtaking naivety from @LabourParty here to suggest private schools will absorb VAT instead of passing it on. Tax laws are laws. ANY business that is told they must charge VAT on their product or service will add full VAT without thinking. Suggesting anything else is stupid.

Kudos to @LondonMarathon for adding a carbon levy to the international entrant fee. Nobody should be barred from entry (of course) but the levy reminds us all of the environmental cost of traveling for the race.

Been using Github co-pilot (linked to OpenAI) for months now. Loving the powerful auto-complete function to help me code. Today, however, it stopped being helpful and started throwing me shade instead 👇 I now realise the AI-doom mongers are 100% correct

Taking a Blue Ocean approach means your goal isn’t to outperform the competition. Instead, your aim is to redraw industry boundaries and operate within that new space, making the competition immaterial. clearpointstrategy.com/?p=42… via @clearpointstrat

Oh wait... No blue tick. DEFINITELY not the real Bugs Bunny then. 🐰
Just changed phones. Do I re-install the NHS Covid app? That's a tough one...

Took part in this plastic count recently. The results are shocking. 🗑️ We throw away ~100 billion bits of plastic each year ♻️🇬🇧 only 12% is recycled in the UK. We have to stop dumping "recycling" abroad and deal with this ourselves. https://xitter.cf/t.co/k0D6jPMYCq #BigPlasticCount
Just filled a hire car with 1/2 tank of petrol for £45. If that was the cost of "filling" my EV, I would have been livid. Because it's petrol, I drive away with a surprised smile. Oh, how our perspective changes...
I'm the only one still using the NHS Covid app aren't I?

I tweeted this last Thursday. Today I got a ping about exposure... last Thursday. #covidirony

So not the only person using the app after all.
The Times reports today that millennials spend an average of £365 a month on gyms, supplements, (fitness) subscriptions and gadgets. That can't be right.
