United we stand. Divided we fall.

We've been waiting for over 5 years to get a bike hangar installed on our street in Lambeth. Meanwhile, they seem to be popping up all over the place on the Southwark side of #HerneHill.

Don't lie in your job postings. There's something valuable and challenging in working on legacy code, so if that's what you do, say so. Don't preen about working in the latest and greatest technologies if you don't: shattered expectations will ruin your recruiting.

This is really interesting and only made possible by GDPR which means that it can be legally enforced.

“Take salmonella: in the U.S. there are 23,000 hospitalisations and 450 deaths a year. In the EU as a whole, which has a population almost two times larger than the U.S., there are approximately 1,766 hospitalisations and just ten deaths.”

Many govt ministers and some food industry people say lower food and animal welfare standards under post brexit free trade agreements are not a problem because consumers won’t buy the stuff. @hwallop explains brilliantly why this misses the point https://t.co/OgW9VaDuHu

X : One of our customers wants a new feature in our product.
Me : Sounds good. Add it to the backlog.
X : No other customer seems to want this. It's unique to them.
Me : Is it a generally useful feature that others might want?
X : I doubt it
Me : Then super low priority.

Cycling between Brixton and Dulwich for the last few weeks has been pleasant along @RailtonLTN and Burbage Road. It has also made the gap in Herne Hill readily apparent. As @hernehillforum said in a recent newsletter, 'what happens here?'

@lambeth_council @SOSFentimanRd @SaveOvalStreets @HealthyStsSE17 That's because this scheme, in part, is designed to do just that.

It's designed to make the short and unneccessary car trips that make up the majority of journeys in London *just annoying enough* that those who can walk or cycle instead, choose to.

Disagreeing with one opinion does not mean agreeing with the exact opposite opinion.

@GreenPartyScott @Lambethgp We’re in Herne Hill. I can DM our address/street if you like.

[Sarah 🍓 @SarahJ_Berry]

Choosing to use a car to take a short journey that can easily be walked or cycled because it's more convenient should be seen as akin to dropping rubbish on the street because it's more convenient than finding a bin

Came across a great quote today — "focus on adding life to years, rather than years to life."
