Welcome to Lisbon international airport and Portugal - @Moedas are you not ashamed of this?

[Dan Williams @danielwje]

@GazTheJourno It is the responsibility of the airline - see this case https://t.co/yb9AjplcT4

@SimonCalder Lisbon Airport this morning. Many passengers missing flights. Complete lack of preparation given there’s been years to prepare for this. All border control positions fully staffed - staff say the software is very slow causing delays in processing #LIS

@SimonCalder Hi Simon, with EES what are your thoughts on this case ruling. If taken to court do you think the airline actually has responsibility to “manage operational procedures at the airport and assist passengers to board on time”… https://t.co/9zjobOVGGl

@Katrina39037687 @JoyRupert Hi, claim EU261 for denied boarding & failure to re-route you. Airline might try & wash hands if it but there’s legal history that airline is responsible for “failure to manage operational procedures at the airport and assist passengers to board on time “ https://t.co/9zjobOVGGl

[Dan Williams @danielwje]

@JoyRupert Go after EU261 you were denied boarding and sounds like airline refused to rebook you. There is legal history for this since the airline has a responsibility to ensure basic levels of service from the airport - https://t.co/9zjobOVGGl

@Mpolymer @michaeldweiss Such a shame there isn’t your podcast anymore

There won't be another Salesforce or Atlassian.

Agents are probabilistic. You can't trust them to rebuild your CRM/system of record/financial infrastructure every single time.

Why would you burn tokens rebuilding baseline products for every task when you could just call a deterministic API?

Plus when we sell on-prem to enterprises, they require $10-20M insurance. The system providing data must be liable for that data being correct.

You can't get that coverage if you're just using Claude Code to build some shit out.

Revisit this in 2029 and you'll find:

- headless CRMs, Stripe equivalents, and systems of record still exist
- agents interact through APIs
- humans log in to verify and audit
- the UI layer is secondary but still remains

Maybe existing players would make way for new companies built solely for the agent economy. But SaaS as we know it, ain't dying anytime soon.

If stocks are in free fall right now, I'd say that's a rather good buy.

@joaofernandeszk Because local banks in the area have been ripping people off for decades and have very poor digital experiences. Low bar to beat the competition

.@judgeme is recruiting for a product lead, reviews and a product lead, email marketing.

If you want to be the sole PM of the largest app on Shopify, this is your chance.

Or be involved with a new bet we're making soon.

Both roles report to our longtime head of product and heavy exposure to me.

@MarkUrban01 Sorry to hear always really enjoyed your Podcast. Such a surprise!

@xeozor21 @CraigEdward_ @Ryanair This passport control chaos happens in Lisbon all the time and even full service carriers like BA will leave people behind if you’re not at the gate before the closing time. I believe Ryanair rule (and on boarding pass) is gate closes 30 minutes before departure.

🌟 Portugal just won “Economy of the Year 2025” according to The Economist! 🇵🇹

For the first time ever, Portugal tops the magazine’s annual ranking of the 36 largest advanced economies, overtaking last year’s winner (Spain) and leaving powerhouses like the US, Germany or Japan far behind.

What made the difference?
✅ Stronger-than-expected GDP growth (projected 1.9–2.3 %, well above the eurozone average)
✅ One of the lowest inflation rates in Europe
✅ A soaring stock market (PSI-20 among the best performers globally in 2025)
✅ Record tourism numbers and foreign investment
✅ Attractive tax regimes pulling in high-net-worth individuals and digital nomads
In the words of The Economist: “Portugal combined solid growth with tame prices and a buoyant stock market better than any other rich country.”

From the country that was bailed out little more than a decade ago to the best-performing advanced economy of 2025!
🎉

I am convinced @barclays decided to make the most customer unfriendly bank in world. Whoever decided this device is a thing in 2025 AND to ship without batteries, with a screw no standard screwdriver can undo, really outdid themselves. At least it’s secure because I can’t use it

@Moedas Congratulations Mr Mayor

[Dan Williams @danielwje]

@implausibleblog Well yes “we” voted for it so we’re getting what we asked for
