@SAP The SAP software is very buggy. Constant crashes, login redirect loops, stuck on “retrieving data”. I have never worked with anything quite this bad
The NHS SAP Ariba platform is absolutely hellish. How does anyone register on this as a supplier. “Ariba cannot process your request at the time”. Yuck.
@alexanderrX_ I have never seen salaries so low in London. I see senior positions paying £55k. It’s become an English speaking offshore hub for the US. Hoping this changes too.

@awaygray taking to the stage at @Climb_UK talking truths about how creating tangible value through connection, belonging and community can help strap a rocket to your startup! Value comes from many different areas in early businesses so don't shy away from it.
@TomChivers Interesting read. My view is that the problems are broader. It's not just AI, it's chemicals, it's industrial manufacture, it's R&D.
AI is still largely confined to web and desktop. There will be a robot revolution at some point but the other issues are happening now.
