I'm an engineer, I make things work.

Software developer since 1980 there's hardly a domain I've not worked in.
Now living in Romania and loving it.

@MikeBowman69 @LordAshcroft The elites don't believe they should be held to account by us little people.

@JamesCleverly With a 60 seat majority you can't get your own legislation through. Seems like there are still Tory MPs with a conscience.

@RhonddaBryant Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

@ClarkeMicah @Nigel_Farage Then why D-day? We may live on an island but cannot afford to be insular. We depend on the security of our neighbours.

@KarenPayneMVP Never mind about blank lines, there's far too much going on here. If it's to be procedural, at least break into functions. Better with some useful abstractions.

@Philmoorhouse76 Nervous laughter from Sunak. He knows the game is up.

@Grady_Booch Suspected parody. "Britain, getting worse".

@leeleecode @jasongorman Poor software definitely degrades over multiple updates unless there is a culture of testing and refactoring. I've worked so many places where the attitude was "it is what it is".

@steffd62 @13orangesbc @carolvorders @Peston @PrivateEyeNews @Keir_Starmer Great comment, some of this I didn't know.

@mirkoebert @allenholub Us too.
Management use Confluence which I rarely look at.

[Nick Barton @NickBarton6]

@allenholub Write it on my time-sheet to give management a warm feeling.

[Nick Barton @NickBarton6]

@allenholub @GranataFounder "That buzz you hear..."
Always a good sign.
I've worked places where there was a library like silence, others where there was a lot of shouting and ranting. Nothing good came out of it.

@cheomitII @jasongorman Obviously I'm too naive -lol

[Nick Barton @NickBarton6]

@jasongorman Pro-rata? How does shorter life expectancy play on the statistic?

[Nick Barton @NickBarton6]

@_RustyRooster And 10x, full-stack, rock star, all terms for lazy recruiters. Next LLM experts.

@SWWashington_EU @RhonddaBryant A picture tells a thousand words, brilliant.
Can Tory MPs understand graphs?
Johnson certainly couldn't.

[Nick Barton @NickBarton6]

@RhonddaBryant An undeserved and heinous comment .

@DeborahMeaden Thus government has to be stopped
