Very humbling to be included in this years #bima100 list.

[Screenmedia @screenmedia]

Our very own @billywizz has been chosen as one of this year's #BIMA100 as a Tech Trailblazer! We're delighted to have one of our staff recognised for the second year in a row! @BIMAscotland https://t.co/GAyD1PwVYg

@EastRenCouncil Would only had a deficit of £8m if they didn’t sign off the £4m for the new building! You would have thought reducing it by 1/3 would be logical! Oh no!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@ChristosMatskas Safe travels, hopefully get to see you again at some point!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@ChristosMatskas It’s quite some time since we started this while journey in 2018/19. Amazing to see your progress 💪💪

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@ijonas @joe_jag How time flies! Not been to an event in ages now (not just because of Covid). Maybe a 2025 reunion 😂

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

Interesting to find others having the same experience with @fireangelsafety CS. I have 2x gateways that initially they said they would replace and now say they won’t. They can’t even tell me how to hard reset the devices! 🤔

[David Green @daggreen]

For anyone thinking of buying smoke alarms, avoid @fireangelsafety. I had two expensive alarms fail within 3 months (should last 10 years) and 7 months later I am still waiting for replacements despite regular chasing. Check Trustpilot - many similar experiences.

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@ChristosMatskas So much face 🤣

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@AzureAndChill Good luck. I enjoyed working with you and @ChristosMatskas at identity 👍👍

@YodasMyDad My dad also takes donations, refers then and provides them to schools and other that need them. @theviewmaster https://t.co/w0NpQbcQ98

@packagemanifest @mattbrailsford @KevinJump The overhead of the GraphQL mesh approach would be the obvious blocker for smaller sites though as it requires additional infra etc… (keep up the great work on the podcast)

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@packagemanifest @mattbrailsford @KevinJump Listened to the latest episode the other day and totally agree on the GraphQL point @KevinJump made. Hot chocolate seems like a much more friendly (.net) approach than the other lib. Also GraphQL mesh may be another option for a more decoupled approach.

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@mattbrailsford @zpqrtbnk @callumbwhyte Honestly don’t bother looking in to it until someone asks!

You’ll spend loads of money on lawyers for something that might never happen!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@zpqrtbnk @mattbrailsford Also if you allow for this in your licence there is a likely hood you’ll attract higher value targets with bigger pockets. One of the side effects of this is security testing which they will likely pay for and report issues back to you!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@mattbrailsford For me it’s more to do with can I trust the developer a)to provide something that works. B) to support it while I need it. C) tell me when it’s dead.
The way you work ticks all these boxes!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@mattbrailsford IMO and please take this as it’s meant. You made your reputation on delivering high quality software and tools people needed. You made the choice to provide that as oss. Did people take the source and use it? probably. Did people build equal reputations off your work? No!

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@attack_monkey @zajkowskimarcin +1 for k6. Good reports, easy setup/recording of scripts and the scripts are easy to edit.

[Jon Carlos @billywizz]

@mattbrailsford Still waiting for access to co-pilot and my request for gpt3 access has been in for ages ☹️. No AI for me at the moment.
