The most valuable use I've found for generative AI so far is helping write small bash scripts - a syntax I've never spent the time to master. I'm starting to build a bit of a collection of small useful tools now, it's great.

As a software engineer, it's very important to learn about Gall’s Law, which states that complex systems cannot be created successfully from scratch. In reality, even large systems, such as Netflix, Google, or Facebook, have started small and built incrementally over the…

If I ever give up on computers as a career, it'll be to start a line of home appliances that just have great big knobs, boring-but-reliable internals, and premium utility. Like an old Lexus. Toyota reliability under the hood, lovely leather, and ready to drive a million miles!

Huge respect for the people that manage to get up early to go to the gym before work consistently. I find this aspect harder than the actual workouts and it's not even close

To anyone else infuriated by this change in Android 15, someone has thankfully gone to the effort of reviving the old DnD tile as an open source 3rd party app here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Hi @madebygoogle re the recent change to Quick Settings on Pixels that replaces Do Not Disturb with an intermediate Modes menu. When I want to put my phone in DnD mode, I want to do it quickly. Now there are more taps needed. How do I get the DnD quick setting back?

TV shows are like coffee in that it's easy to become accustomed to mediocrity and forget how good they can be. Until you come across a good one again and remember (we're watching Better Call Saul lately).

Set up a small home server/NAS last week - a Raspberry Pi 5 running Open Media Vault and NextCloud, with a couple of SSDs in RAID 1. Setting it up was pretty straightforward and enjoyable. Now I wish I'd set one up years ago - we keep finding more and more uses for it.

This was generally my experience too when visiting England. The Cotswolds in particular were charming and beautiful

Embarrassed to admit I didn't know this until growing broccoli in my garden a couple of years ago. It was a bit of an eye-opener to how far the modern person can be removed from where their food comes from.

With increasing use of gen AI for coding, will any (or nearly as many) libraries be written? And will the ones that are created be optimised for use by AI over humans? E.g. with simpler but more verbose APIs and explicit docs to reduce the chance of error? And will this also make…

A pattern you can spot after being in tech long enough: each role at a tech company can go off the rails in their own special way if not kept in check by business/market forces. Us engineers have the pathology of endlessly refactoring and creating bloated, over-complicated…
