Avocets. Made my day!

📢 The UK’s new £187M #TechFirst initiative is a game-changer for digital skills and AI innovation, especially in our region. At @PrizsmTech, we see huge alignment with our mission in secure, quantum-ready infrastructure. Full thoughts on LinkedIn👇. 🔗

The current approach to data storage (centralised systems & encryption) is struggling against sophisticated attacks & the looming threat of quantum computing. Costs are also a burden. Time for a rethink? 🤔 @prizsm_uk #PrizsmTech #DataSecurity #QuantumComputing.

Final verdict: Python is a powerful tool, even for a C/C++ veteran. It's not a replacement but a fantastic addition to the toolbox. Now, back to writing some "pythonic" code. whatever that means. 😄 #PythonJourney #LearningNeverStops.

Still miss my pointers sometimes. But honestly, the sheer speed of development in Python is addictive. I might be a convert. 🐍 #PythonVsCpp #NewPerspective.

There has to be a better way. And there is… @prizsm_uk's data disaggregation.

Learning Python's object model. It's. different. No explicit new, no manual memory management. This feels like a vacation. 🌴 #PythonOOP #GarbageCollection.

I just realised I wrote a Python script that would have taken me days in C++. Is this what "rapid development" feels like? I think I'm starting to understand the hype. #PythonDev #RapidPrototyping.

A bit of a milestone for me today! For the first time in over 25 years, I spent an entire, productive working day without touching a #Windows machine. 🤯.I'm going #ColdTurkey for the rest of the week, sticking with #Linux.

Coming from C++, indentation as syntax is. interesting. Still instinctively reaching for curly braces. 😬 #PythonIndentation #Syntax.

Libraries! Oh, the libraries! Just installed requests and made a web request in 3 lines. C++ devs, you feel my pain. 😅 #PythonLibraries #ProductivityBoost.

Spent an hour debugging a "NoneType" error. Turns out, I forgot a return statement. Python's implicit returns strike again! 🤦‍♂️ #PythonDebugging #CommonMistakes.

List comprehensions. Mind. Blown. Feels like magic compared to manual loops in C++. Is this what "elegant" code feels like? ✨ #Pythonic #ListComprehension.

Python's dynamic typing is. liberating? Terrifying? Both? I keep wanting to declare types. Old habits die hard. #DynamicTyping.

Decades in C/C++, finally taking the Python plunge. Initial thoughts: where are my semicolons?! And is this. readability? 🤔 #Python #CPP #Programming.

Switching from a Windows laptop with WSL to a Linux machine deployed with something to run Windows apps (primarily MSOffice). What pattern would you choose and why? VMs, Containers, 365 online, or something else?.

The creation of UK Sovereign AI is a bold move. It has the potential to significantly impact the UK's AI landscape. Intrigued to see how this initiative will unfold. #UKSovereignAI #AI #Future #FernICT.

Collaboration is crucial for AI success. The UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan recognises this, emphasising government, industry, and academia partnerships. #AIOpportunitiesActionPlan #Collaboration #FernICT.

The AI Opportunities Action Plan rightly emphasises the importance of human capital. At @Fern_ICT, we're committed to upskilling our team and contributing to developing the UK's AI talent pool. #AI #Skills #Talent #FernICT

Just finished reading the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan. It's ambitious but achievable. I'm pleased to see the focus on foundational investments, talent development, and a proactive approach to AI leadership. . #AI #UK #Innovation.
