Programmers don’t know how to fix your computer. But we are good at narrowing down problems and often get lucky so it looks like we do.

@scratch That's fantastic to hear, I'm loving scratch 3 so far, please keep up the great work, you are super stars 🌟

[Developer Dad @developer_dad]

@scratch hey guys are you working on an offline version of scratch 3 that runs on the raspberry pi? I've found the online version doesn't run amazingly well on my 3b

[Developer Dad @developer_dad]

@elliegibson I think you might be my spirit animal after listening to your opinions on brexit and the royals on the latest @scummymummies podcast! And the Michael Buble story that followed had me howling

No no, website, you don't understand. I wouldn't sit through a 30-sec ad even if it preceded a recipe for immortality, let alone your article about lettuce.

@moneysavvydaddy Them meatballs are on point though, don't blame her

[Developer Dad @developer_dad]

Went for all you can eat breakfast this morning, I didn't think it was possible to "fill" a 5 year old. Apparently you can with enough pancakes, bacon and hash browns
