If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

This should be mandatory viewing.

It's something that's been top of my mind - agents succeed in well-written, well-architected code bases.

The future ain't vibe-slopped features chucked into production. It's much brighter than that.

Been really inspired by the attention to detail from Pierre Computer Co.

We added diffs to @Trigaihq’s internal coding agent – Alto. It’s a solid, fast library.

So to summarise, the Government has just announced plans to scrap the biggest public transport infrastructure project planned for any Northern city, while taking part in its conference in that same city, which its Chancellor chose to travel to by plane. https://t.co/x45OU9DGhu

Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.

There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.

Fuck this.

I cycled past similar bollards today and shat myself. Thought I was about to go past the twins from the shining.

I liquidated my pension, and with every spare penny, I bought Luna dogecoin and a plethora of rugpull NFTs that I thought would make me and my wife rich.

[Jamie @JamieHalvorson]

I’ve been thinking this too. I want somewhere that’s simpler and cleaner to post my photos but then how long will that last before it turns into another Instagram.

[Emily Kager @EmilyKager]

instagram is becoming so bad. 4/5 posts in your feed are targeted ads or videos from people you don't follow. i find myself opening it less and less and i think we're witnessing it slowly kill itself off 😬

[Jamie @JamieHalvorson]

@LukesBeard @AppStore 👏 really well deserved! Everything you’re doing with @anydistanceclub is amazing
