Mediocre white guy working in tech. Dev @indeed. He/him

Eh, I decided I'm just gonna voice my feelings about Mastodon rather than being indirect about it. Hopefully, people don't feel too offended.

I think we need to be careful about how we shape social interaction within Mastodon..because right now it feels very WHITE.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

Liz Truss going is not enough.

Austerity must go.

Poverty wages must go.

Foodbank queues must go.

Cold homes in winter must go.

A new suit in Downing Street means nothing to our people.

Fix the society you have broken – or get out of the way.

Unfortunate reminder that tech interview processes are inherently broken and even the most talented developer you know is likely to not get to the offer stage a high percentage of the time.

Cuts to public services: £18 billion

Cuts to corporation tax: £18.7 billion

It's a direct trade-off: our pain for their profits

“Demand a change in direction. We need to tax the rich properly, not give tax cuts to millionaires. It’s time to take to the streets.”

With Black History Month almost here a quick reminder, we should be celebrating the contributions of black people to the economic, cultural and political life in the UK…not showing students endless slides on MLK and slavery. #edutwitter

If you'd be interested in joining a virtual (GMT based) book club/meetup focussed on helping web folks to actively educate ourselves, support each other and offer accountability please get in touch and can see where that goes (DMs are open)

Spent a week burning in Greece at the wonderful Koukoumi Vegan hotel/restaurant, never done a holiday like it but really feels like the recharge has done me a lot of good. Spending time by the pool doing some reading...

I'd been wanting to start up a new tech meetup in #Aberdeen; since COVID finished off @AberdeenPhp and set up @justweb_dev a while back to get started but I'm thinking now this might have a better use.
