Trump at the UN: "I look at London where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law." This is entirely false. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is politically moderate and has never ever called for Sharia law. This is Islamophobic propaganda and a bigoted attack on Khan.

Will Larson (@lethain.com) recently wrapped up an *incredible* streak of posts on engineering strategy on his blog, lethain.com. Strategy is hard, much harder than it looks. Especially since, much like design and management, when done well, it looks easy. Easy and obvious.

Golden bricks that are “good enough” and devs being endlessly creative within the constraints of the platform. Excellent talk by Mags Hogstedt & Christian Mikkelsen from Lego at Platform Engineering Day at #KubeCon.

A brilliant start to Platform Engineering Day at #Kubecon with @hazelweakly.me speaking about hiring for platform engineering. Very insightful and also funny. And sparkles… ✨✨

Making slides for my upcoming talk at QCon London and busily searching for images on Unsplash. Found a lovely photo of the amazing Giant's Causeway, a World Heritage Site and true wonder of the natural world. The alt text on the image reads "A rocky beach with a bunch of rocks on it". 😂

Whoa.. Vivian Graubard over there on LinkedIn, bringing the whole fucking receipt book. Turns out those whiz kid DOGE "geniuses" couldn't pass the basic, entry level tech screen it takes to get hired at 18F. They didn't even meet the bar to *get an interview*.

A cold civil war ... never thought I'd be writing that, but here we are.
