'Two Lemons.' (1970) Eliot Hodgkin painted this still-life in tempera, a medium which enabled him to 'achieve the effects I am aiming at… I try to show things exactly as they are, yet with some of their mystery and poetry, and as though seen for the first time.’

taste > skills taste seems more scarce these days, and increasingly differentiating in the age of AI where so much of skills-based productivity is offloaded to compute. makes me think about the development of taste, and how we nurture taste for the next gen of humans.

A bit more than one year ago, I joined @habito straight out of uni. I'm incredibly glad I did so - in part because I get to write Haskell and PureScript every day, but mainly because of the great colleagues who trust, teach and challenge me. I learned so much already.

Today is reportedly #BlueMonday - the saddest day of the year. So, to make it a little less blue, two of our Habito cabs are giving away free rides all day, all over central London! Starting with some lucky commuters in #waterloo #toottoot #taxi 🚕 https://t.co/fEwQYNxwCr

This is nuts. So good
The word “humbling” is overused, but this conversation with @wolfejosh qualifies. I finished it feeling equal parts inspired, energized, and jealous. Josh is aces. Must listen. https://t.co/ZX1K4ArPDi
