I was wiring up the release build for krites, the wedding-photo culler I’ve been building for my wife, and I went to add Windows to the list of targets. It felt like the responsible thing. You write software, you ship it …
I’ve had a Gemini Pro subscription for about eighteen months. In that time it has researched a leisure battery and a diesel heater for the campervan conversion, generated a truly stupid number of pictures of my pets in …
Back in 2019 I wrote that recruiting people is effing hard, and then more or less left it there, because I had a stack of CVs to wade through and you had a day to be getting on with. That post was written from the slush …
