0.5% stamp duty on UK listed stocks is another great example of how our taxation system sucks.

who's worst at estimating time, software engineers or washing machines?

I told Claude to make a video about what it's like to be European

One day later...

@danbarker my thoughts exactly

@dhh No need to drop GDPR entirely. But "make it sensible" would be a great start.

There are some legit protections against creepy behaviours from massive organisations, but for every win there's like 100 unintended consequences.

We've got 10 years understanding those edge cases.

@ID_AA_Carmack I nominate 300Hz as a handy lowest common multiple. Problem solved, no aliasing on either 50 or 60fps

[Tim Creswick @TimCreswick]

Deep cut. Nice.

Texting is really nice on the Duo

I guess now we find out which websites were running on PHP, but this one might be my favourite so far

Your employees are quietly robbing you with AI, and you probably deserve it https://t.co/hKpsdiidfz

The UK's had mandatory gender pay gap reporting for 10 years now. I built a tool that tracks how 15,000+ employers have actually performed over that time. Some trends are... not great.

I'll be updating with a few leaderboards over the weekend, once everyone's 2025 filings are in (deadline is Saturday!)

💡 Most people talk about AI in terms of the problems it solves directly.

I think that misses the point.

⏱️The real impact of AI is second- and third-order: it has collapsed the cost and time of building software by an order of magnitude. When software becomes 5× cheaper and 5× faster to create, the business case changes for EVERYTHING.

The closest example I can think of, is injection moulding.

Plastics didn’t just replace wood or metal. Injection moulding made complexity effectively free. Once you’d paid for the mould, adding ribs, clips, textures, snap-fits or hinges cost almost nothing. Entire categories of everyday objects suddenly became worth making - not because demand changed, but because economics did.

AI is doing the same to software.

It doesn’t just automate tasks. It makes bespoke internal tools, edge-case workflows and “nice-to-have” automations suddenly viable. Software becomes disposable, experimental, and abundant - and that quietly reshapes organisations far more than any single AI feature ever will.

📉The cost of bespoke business process software and automation just crashed through the floor. Complexity just became "cheap". Injection moulding changed the everyday lives of most people. AI-built software will too.

I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

I think late stage capitalism is owning a hundred devices and spending your entire life making sure none of them die before you do 🔋

@VincentJBruins Confirmed. This was not fun... a stone got stuck in the brake pedal 🤦‍♂️

I want to love @TIDAL, but both the Android and iPhone apps have a total meltdown offline, making it practically useless commuting in London, or on flights 🤨
