Very good idea

I build a static site, using Jekyll, html, css and some JS. It uses GitHub actions for the compute saving and writing data using open and public sources like DEFRA, ONS, Gov.uk

Any website that writes the literal T&Cs would fail on `Unrecognized character reference "&Cs"` so it's not surprising only 2.7% are 'clean'

Thoughts on privacy and observation normalisation.

That’s because most teams are doing engineering wrong.

The handover to a peer for review is a falsehood. PRs were designed for open source projects to gate keep public contributors.

Teams should be doing trunk-based development, group/mob programming and one piece flow.

Speed is only one measure and AI is pushing this further to an extreme with the volume of change and more code.

The quality aspect is missing here.

Speed without quality is a fallacy and it will haunt us.

Don’t focus on speed alone, and the need to always be busy and picking up the next item - focus on quality and throughput keeping work in progress to a minimum (1). Deliver meaningful reasoned changed as a team, together.

ADRs but give ownership to the team. They should sit in the repo most relevant, but a central repo called ADRs have issue templates and a readme which links off to all the repos and their ADRs - ADRs can not be approved and the issue closed until all the docs are in place. Everyone can see the open ADRs in the main repo and see issue and comment on them. Accountability is there if an assigned issue is open for days/weeks etc.

GitHub issues templates are perfect for ADR templates. All Hands for engineering is a great place to mention them and for teams to comment on the decision and outcomes.

Please don’t forget that some AI generated posts are helpful for those of us with disabilities who can hope to keep an online presence via a pos dictated to an agent, or need help formulating sentences.

By focusing or restricting human only use you risk dehumanising those he need technological support.

Thoughts with the people who use AI to help construct their thoughts because their cognitive decline impacts the ability to construct words and sentences, but still enjoying the production of content, blogging and th indieweb.

These blanket binary takes are tiresome. There is nuance and rough edges.

NNW has been a stalwart app on all my devices and home screens for a long time. It just works.

More and more we need RSS feeds and this is the best app for consuming them for me. Happy Birthday.

Workingcopy app is a better model.

You can pay to unlock advanced features and keep them and any new features added in a year, after that any new features are paywalled for another unlock, and another +12 months, perpetually.

This would be a security breach and also gross misconduct.

Stupid.

In April 2025, Probely announced that the Security Headers API will discontinued in April 2026. As far as we know, the free website service will remain available for the foreseeable future.

If you were using it for anything below, you now need an alternative:

CI/CD checks Automated estate scanning Compliance evidence Repeated audits without manual effort That’s why I am really excited to announce that alongside our existing services, we’ve released an endpoint to serve as a replacement for the Security Headers API.

This is why as an indie business you need business insurances that would pay out in cases like this.

I doubt anyone would work with this dev in the future, but lol it’s still quite funny.

You are absolutely right. It’s not X that’s the give away, it’s A, and B — moreover it’s C that is the clincher.

Please add an rss feed to your website/writing

> The Covid Counter Fraud Commissioner, Tom Hayhoe's, final report to Parliament finds many schemes - including Bounce Back Loans and Eat Out to Help Out - were rolled out with huge fraud risks and no early safeguards -- costing the taxpayer millions.

> Weak accountability, bad quality data and poor contracting were identified as the primary causes of the £10.9 billion pound losses -- which were enough to fund daily free school meals for the UK's 2.7 million eligible children for eight years.

Writing or saying stupider is definitely confirmation of the premise.

Very nice
