The majority of the people I’ve hired moved to the UK. Forcing them to choose between constraining their career to here vs incurring significant financial burden (coughing up capital gains tax on illiquid assets) is not the outcome I hoped for.
Today we're publishing an Open Letter from over 150+ founders & investors across our startup & scaleup ecosystem to the @RachelReevesMP warning against a so-called 'Exit Tax'. You can read the letter and sign on at https://t.co/luqdPxamQQ

Build the kernel, not the leaf. The deeper you push logic into libraries, the more reuse it sees, the better it gets. If there's "one way" to do "one thing", it accumulates all lessons learned, allowing quality to compound.

No such thing as too much scrutiny in code review. It is the last line of defence against future problems.

Humans care about code entropy. Then why do LLMs maximise boilerplate? The 🍒 on top: inline mansplaining comments. # I will now do the thing. do_the_thing() 🙄

Yesterday’s Spain-Portugal blackout was shocking (and the scrambling for answers continues). Yet the UK lived through a smaller-scale version in 2019. Setting the two side-by-side gives some lessons on what might have happened yesterday (disclaimer: i'm speculating here 😇):

70% of U.S. power lines are past their expiration date. Built for the 1950s, failing in the 2020s. Power failures are becoming more common, more expensive, and more dangerous. It’s time for an internet of energy—not an aging monopoly.

Get in the habit of triggering learning loops: After some coding or reviewing, take a step back. Consider if there's a better approach. Early and often.

Not separating code movement from changes in separate commits is an act of violence against the reviewer.

Equilibrium is not a stable state. In my experience, error tracking either improves or worsens over time. So, instill developer hygiene in your team, or turn on-call shifts into nightmares.

Would recommend: Problem-solving with other software engineers and using superwhisper plus a reasoning model to turn ideas into a concrete POC on the spot.
