1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help

was talking a friend through a catastrophizing episode where he was like “I have no evidence that I’ll ever be capable of anything” and I said “well if you look at a 1yo there’s no evidence they will ever walk or talk”. All growth is about doing tomorrow what you can’t do today

Next @NHSHackDay will be in Cardiff on 1st/2nd March.... Come and join us!
This is the thing with @NHSHackDay - yes *sometimes* something of lasting value is built at the event itself (hi @cellcountr!) but the *primary* value is showing NHS folks what can be done with good tech (plus showing tech folks what people have to put up with in healthcare!)

As we get closer to Christmas, I’m re-upping this because it’s one of my favourite memories and I’ll never forget all the kindness and love around it—especially during such a difficult time.
Wishing everyone a few days off and time with loved ones ❤️🎄

I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb culture.
This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. Let's find the nuggets of gold under all the 💩.

One event that occurred while I was finalising my thesis was the Conservative party in the UK attempting to criminalise smell. The bill suggested jailing homeless people for smelling “excessively”, regardless of their circumstances. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

So I've been notified that my role is at risk. Would anybody like to hire a me.
I've spent the last 7 years as chief software architect, which realistically meant doing every job from infrastructure to product.
I am interested in everything, and curious to try new things.

Found an excuse to brain-dump everything I've learnt about alternatives to OKRs, from my deep dive into the Deming literature over the past year.
Caveat 1: I'm not sure this works in practice; need to find real world cases.
Caveat 2: I've not tested this myself.
