If you’re just starting out and struggling to find a job as a developer, learn Java or C#/dotNet. They’re not trendy, but there are many well-paid opportunities available.

I spent 4 hours writing an email with a business proposal, which is not uncommon when dealing with complex negotiations. Even so, people who have a similar reality insist on measuring the productivity of developers by lines of code. Weird.

Jeez Google, you are not trying hard enough

A German cleaning equipment company used its high-pressure washers to create a giant image of Godzilla on the Iwaya Kawauchi Dam in Saga Prefecture.

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Opera comes with a very competent, free to use LLM called ARIA. It's free and can summarize anything you're reading or even chat with you about the tabs you've got open 👌 Give it a try: www.opera.com

Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.

This is pixeltune.org, a project I've been slowly building for the past 10+ years and recently relaunched. It's a web VGM/chiptune player that plays songs in their original format, and features an archive of over half a million songs which I've been collecting through the years. Have a listen! ;)

Twitter acqui-hired 7 tech recruiters for more than $10M (so more than $1.5M apiece?) Amusing that they spent more on this one purchase (which does not even net them engineering capabilities) than the complete seed funding of Bluesky!

I run a series of monthly masterclasses in creative writing, with a special focus on spec fiction. Each class is live on Zoom and lasts around an hour, with plenty of time for you to ask questions. This month's class is on creating characters, and is on Sunday https://www.garethlpowell.com/classes/
