Human. Parent. Pragmatist. He/Him/They/Dude/Yo/Idiot/Git/Friend. Whatever...I don't care, but I respect the wishes of those that do and feel it matters to them.

@Tince781 @Peston Atheists are fortunate enough to be beyond such anachronistic and superstitious rituals. I mean, swearing allegiance to someone just because he’s wearing a bejewelled hat, sitting on an old stone and being blessed by cosplayers who worship a sky fairy is no basis of government.

@Vikkib76 @Otto_English @SaraManchmal Well, all I can say is I have faith it will be so. I believe they’ll self destruct through sheer hubris and stupidity, to be honest. They nearly got there with Randy. Who knows where and how the next unacceptable face will appear? There are costlier and more pragmatic targets.

@Otto_English @SaraManchmal British Monarchy is like British Weather. Random and annoying, but it makes for a good conversation starter.

It's easy to ignore.

It will be gone in time. I wish that time were now, but it isn't and there isn't the will to make it so. Hey Ho. Pick our battles, I say.

@SkyNews Ironic, given her emphasis on personal responsibility, how she finds so many people and institutions to blame for the mess she created a few days into office.

[Charles Line @charlesline]

@bfcarlson @MaryFitzger But when written, the sound it makes is born in the imagination of the reader. Which brings us to the nuance of grammar.

@Otto_English Well, she only really has herself as a guide.

@royal_gator_ @brokenbottleboy That portrait has distinct "Mars Attacks" vibes.

@shannonrwatts Sorry to comment on another country’s tragedies and legal system, but from the outside, American gun law just seems nuts. Does anyone over there involved in lawmaking understand how to read statistics?

[Charles Line @charlesline]

@miffythegamer Yeah, sure, I totally believe every word that comes out of that mouth. Like, I never saw you on The Apprentice. And I’ve never seen you attack people who just want to help others and I’ve never seen you spew bile like it’s the nectar of truth. Yeah, sure, you’re hurting so much.

@bradzaguate @emollick Wow

@Philsbodydouble @JLeclerk To be fair, they do maintain your posture when bowing to the gentry.

@jamessfoster @SullyOmarr That's a bit ironic given that google wants to be the one bot to rule them all.

@GyllKing Who she?

Soon there will be the possibility of adaptive software. No more 80/20. No more one size fits all. A personalised experience that understands your intent and presents what works for you.

It’s what I’m working on. I recommend others start thinking about things this way also.

When I left school, over 40 years ago, I would say to people that there was no such thing as a secure job. I was ridiculed as these were the days of “job for life” thinking.

I’m seeing this mentality repeat itself, but for dev.

Welcome to your future. Adapt or die. #ChatGPT.

[Charles Line @charlesline]

Soon, the people for whom tech bros produce things will be able to do a large proportion themselves. And they are the experts in their domains. Understanding a job through charts and analysis is no substitute for doing the job. That’s why many systems don’t work out of the gate.

[Charles Line @charlesline]

@mckaywrigley My point being, adapt or die. New fundamentals, new skills, new opportunities. I'm seeing a lot of "sunk-cost fallacy" at the moment. Ho Hum. Plus ca change. Seen it dozens of times before in different industries.

[Charles Line @charlesline]

@mckaywrigley I was talking to a healthcare professional about the terrible software interface they had to work with. I can definitely foresee a system whereby they enter the tasks they performed as a free description and AI reformulates it, checks it, confirms assumptions and commits. No UI.
