Did you know that having your name consistently mispronounced can affect your social emotional well-being and ability to learn?

If you're not sure how to pronounce a name just ask, or if you do mispronounce it simply apologise and move on.

@kl_johnny If this opportunity was missed, does anyone have any wisdom on how to tackle the splitting later on? And importantly, how to do it when the opportunity has been missed more than a handful of times in the same product. Persuading people it's the right thing to do is also difficult

Massive digital projects, a huge emphasis on user security and the freedom to work in a way that suits you.

These are just three of the reasons why #software engineers should consider a career with us.

@robster970 One for each of the family, and the spare one for the dog?

@grahambinns @ivanka Quite the inspiration, isn't she? Totally changed my outlook on how services need to be driven by user needs when I had the privilege to watch Ivanka in action in the very first Universal Credit user research session- a pivotal moment for me and UC that will stick with me forever

[Tom Padgham @padgenet]

@ivanka @tomskitomski I clearly remember observing the very first UC user research session you conducted back in 2013 which totally blew my mind and I've never looked back, so thank you 🙂. We've come a long way, but delivering for users is a constant.

I would say the Difference Engine, but I'd have to be a time traveller, so it's the ZX Speccy 48K

Without saying what year you started coding, Quote this tweet with something (an ide, a build/ deploy process) to signify how long you've been coding

[Tom Padgham @padgenet]

@tomskitomski Thanks Tom. You were a massive help in setting us off on the right track.

[Tom Padgham @padgenet]

@Dan__HW @DWPDigital You made a great, and particularly tall, contribution to UC over the years. All the best and hope our paths cross again

I wasn't expecting to feel inadequate in front of my 9 year old, but after a bedtime story, he started quizzing me about what happens after you die, how far is the nearest black hole, what happens when you go in a black hole... kids these days

@dtanham Sadly we can't spend a lazy lunch in the pub, but plenty of DIY to do 😬

[Tom Padgham @padgenet]

@larasampson @NeilCouling Thank you both for the trust and latitude to do our jobs. We are nothing without the amazing teams who have designed, built and operated the service where product and technology go hand in hand.

@Richard_Buckby @M11Info Looks like around 1 hour delay from jct 8 to 9 northbound

@dtanham @homephree @larasampson @tomskitomski @robster970 @richardjpope I'm still on the train (and the boat) 😉

@kitterati Was expecting P45 after giving critical feedback to a previous manager, but he said "We need more people like you being honest"
