@SoCraTes_FR @McKinsey Has someone decided to move April 1st forward a few months ?

I'm starting a YouTube channel!

As you probably know I already share a lot of materials and I've had a lot of technical coaches and developers tell me that that's really useful. So, I came up with a plan to do videos.

@TotherAlistair I think you meant "July" ;)

@BFMTV Bonjour @Elisabeth_Borne est-ce que dans cette "priorité absolue" vous prévoyez de presser un peu le Ministère de l'Education Nationale qui a trois ans de retard dans sa mise en conformité avec le décret 2020-256 sur la prévention du harcèlement ?

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

@ashedryden So sorry for your loss :(

If you want to reach me, I'm more active on LinkedIn where I post more often right now (in French), and a bunch of Slacks. I'm not super hard to find.

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

Update, re. my previous tweet: I'm not really using Twitter anymore (save for the occasional visit to check if anyone's DMed). And no, I'm not moving to Mastodon (yet). In totally unrelated news, finding that I'm getting more reading done and enjoying that.

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

Looks like I won’t be using Twitter any longer, unless the current problem with Twitterrific (my choice) and other third party clients turns out to be a temporary hiccup. (Not holding out much hope…). It was good while it lasted… 15 years.

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

@yvonnezlam Hear, hear.

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

@ScopeMaster_ @evidenceSE And are you taking into account the crucial distinction between costs of fixing a defect, vs. the knock-on costs (redeploying, retraining and so on), as those would be two very different claims?

[Laurent Bossavit @Morendil]

@ScopeMaster_ @evidenceSE I’m curious - how would you know a thing like that ? I’m familiar with large govt projects, and in my experience the usual problem is doing things that shouldn’t be done at all. If that counts as a “requirements” issue…

I really enjoyed this book myself-- a different twist on the trope, and so much fun!

@johncutlefish Every improvement is a change, but not every change is an improvement.

@Velib Aucun vélo ne charge sa batterie en ce moment mais bien sûr vous allez me dire que c’est normal et qu’il y’a qu’à le signaler dans l’appli pour chaque velo. 🤡

Randall Munroe's @xkcd comic is interactive! And includes a reference to my Steerswoman books! (Available, ahem, for purchase. Just sayin'.) Well, Munroe's latest book (https://t.co/LjSbjIx5uL) would make a great gift! (As would certain other books... just, y'know, sayin.)

"Why did the large language model feel so self-conscious?
Because it was always aware of its own size."

(I didn't come up with this joke. ChatGPT did. It then proceeded to totally fail to acknowledge the reason why a human might find it funny.)
