@kevinrose@dhh I’d love to retire from being a professional programmer too but it sort of pays the bills currently. That’s my growing concern. It frustrates me that this career pivot is talked of as if every Software Engineer can simply choose to do it. That’s not going to pay the mortgage.
@DPJHodges The attack line is detail. It's clearly an area he's not up to speed on. Answering questions as if he's taking part in a leadership hustings is only going to get him so far. Early days. We'll see how he beds in.
@DPJHodges It's manipulated video and AI. Scary how good it's getting now. The giveaway is always the floating camera that's filming before it happens.
@DPJHodges You mean the bit after “I don’t know if this is true…”? - It can be debated if calling the by-election was a mistake but he’s not stupid. It was surely clear to everyone it would resume if he won.
@mrdanwalker In my experience it's not everyone. I use Greater Anglia on a regular basis and I genuinely can't recall the last time they were late or a service was cancelled. The best train provider in the country imho. Great trains, great staff and reliable.
This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.
