My play queue is long and my spare time is short, but I *finally* played through GRIS over the last few weeks. What a stunningly beautiful and emotive game. We so need more of these. Also, 😭😭😭 #games #gris #grisgame #steam

I'm doing a survey on how engineering teams use AI in their work practices. Over 50 orgs have participated but would love a bigger cross section of responses. If you can take 5 mins to fill it in that would be awesome but a share would be great too! tally.so/r/3xW4gv #engineering #dx #ai

This is a lovely story www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

some time back I built this little border radius visualizer to help figure out how some complex shapes might work- what's interesting (but understood) is how adjustments to specific corners of the element *seem* to affect other corners codepen.io/cobra_winfre...

Getting some truth bombs from @ghuntley.com at web directions engineering AI this evening.

Are engineering teams treating AI as productivity hacks or as a core capability to be developed? Early data from my AI in dev survey is suggesting teams of all sizes are racing ahead on generation but lacking some of the other practices to make this sustainable. #ai #dev #engineering

Interesting first data from AI & Development survey. Teams that are tiny or large+ show more maturity than their mid-sized counterparts. #ai #aisew #development #engineering

So I tried this out as well but with "boysenberry" instead in case it was patched. Results attached. #ai #chatgpt5 #llms

If I were to offer the federal government advice on boosting productivity, it would include: - boosting spending on childcare and early education - boosting spending on cycling infrastructure - encouraging work-from-home arrangements - investing in the repair economy & circularity broadly ...

The always awesome @ajfisher.social has a short survey on how and why people are (and are not) actually using generative AI tools in software engineering. Got 5 minutes? I'm really interest in the results. tally.so/r/3xW4gv

If you're a software engineer (or know one) I'm doing some research on how you & your team are using AI in your engineering practice. There's a little survey here that takes about 5-10 mins to complete & the results will get shared with all participants. tally.so/r/3xW4gv #ai #engineering #dev

The timing of these posts in my feed couldn't have been more perfect... 😂 #music #getOffMyLawn @stilgherrian.com @johnfallsopp.com @grogsgamut.bsky.social

Why are you shipping 3MB of JavaScript to animate a link? Modern CSS now handles seamless page transitions - natively. No routing hacks. No hydration tax. No excuse.

I just saw someone suggest asking ChatGPT to aggregate “data” from Reddit threads to provide **medical guidance** and I would like to unsubscribe from this future.

Modern HTML is a disaster. It’s bloated, semantically meaningless, and hostile to browsers, bots, and users. We’ve traded structure for utility, and performance is paying the price. Semantic HTML still matters - and here’s why. www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/w...

Great arg for why lowering voting age in Aus needs civics support to make it viable. This said, some of the convos I have (even those who grew up here) suggest civics teaching more broadly is lacking. In no particular order: 🧵 #ausvotes #politics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Someone get Tom Dearden some media training... To his credit he did try to catch the f-bomb in the moment. 😂 #stateOfOrigin

Respect to the Blues players reaching out to Munster. That is classy. #stateoforigin #nrl

Queensland masterclass on that game. Constant effort, outstanding defence that was consistent all game joined with stellar attack. NSW weren't great, and it showed when Qld turns up like they did. #stateOfOrigin

Tommy Dearden surely picking up player of the match tonight. #stateOfOrigin

Geez Val Holmes has a boot on him. Unfortunately for NSW... #stateOfOrigin

Let's go NSW! #stateoforigin

As I mentioned yesterday, breaches like Qantas aren't surprising any more but they should still be unacceptable. We need to start treating PII like a toxic byproduct of digital systems. Some thoughts on all of this: 🧾 ajfisher.me/2025/07/02/q... #qantas #infosec #privacy #databreach

So #Qantas shows how much respect they have for their customers by handing “some customers' names, email addresses, dates of birth and Frequent Flyer numbers” to a third party who just handed them out and then have the gall to tell us their “systems remain secure” #cybersecurity

Why this was ever a requirement to be attached to a customer account I have no idea....

Well, as I predicted, QANTAS has now sent out it's "Hearts and Minds" comms to affected customers (including me) and they doubled down on the "no card details were compromised" statements. Original thread here: bsky.app/profile/ajfi... #qantas #security #cyber #privacy

QANTAS going through the data breach PR handbook. 1. Acknowledge (thanks AU mandatory disclosure laws!) 2. Downplay impact (no passwords, Passport info, PINs or credit cards compromised) 3. Send out basic comms to affected customers that's effectively "hearts and minds" #security #qantas #cyber

Google’s new Gemini CLI dropped, so I threw some real dev work at it including a full React modernisation task. I hit limits (literally), but there’s a some promise in the tool. 📗 Post here: ajfisher.me/2025/06/26/h... #blog #gemini #development #ai #genai

One of those mornings when you're wondering why the gate at the train station won't open, until the lovely attendant gently mentions you are tapping a work access card not a myki... #absentMinded #dayWithAY

Doing a talk on mission oriented teams tomorrow at a retailer here in Melbourne and so making some new images to go with it. #genAI #generativeImages #missionTeams

Last talk of @webdirections.org code this year is from @ghuntley.com on AI and the future belongs to those who do things. This is likely to be unhinged with AI demos based on the playing we were doing over drinks last night #wdcode #ai

facts 🗣️🗣️🗣️ say it louder for the mfers in the back

Great talk from @kritiketan.bsky.social about local first web experiences for collaborative applications. Some great examples shown on the edge cases for concurrent writes, edits and removals. Always good to see talks about CRDT and data drift resolution. #webdirections

You can get realtime grid usage for Australia from here explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/vic1/... #wdc #webdirections @webdirections.org

Day 2 of @webdirections.org Code just kicking off. First talk today is @fershad.com talking about grid aware computing to craft experiences based on how clean the energy is that is serving the requests. Super interesting opportunities in this space

Before at Web Directions code leaders, we've got a great overview of the possible future of the software development life cycle by Sarah Taraporewalla. She went over the recent past and current state and imagined what things could be. I massively enjoyed the subsequent panel

Caught a great talk by @ghuntley.com at Code Leaders @webdirections.org He talked about the future belongs to people who can understand and work with AI. If you're not picking up these tools, you're gonna get left behind.

First panel discussions at Code Leaders talking about how to better make decisions, how power and influence works and how to manage stakeholders through story telling. #wdcleaders

Great use of influence maps from @roundcrisis.com at #wdcleaders today. These are super helpful for self or small teams where power resides with other stakeholders for the decisions you need to get made.

Getting us started and oriented to the day for Code Leaders is @johnfallsopp.com #wdcleaders

Three days of tech conference this week. About to get started here for the Leaders day at @webdirections.org Code. Always great to get to spend time @labs.acmi.net.au #wdcleaders

Such a finely balanced, but very unpretty, match of football. Two very different styles and strategies playing each other. Classic game where it's so matched and scrappy and the tiniest chance can turn into something. Could easily have been JPN 1-0. #Socceroos #AUSvJPN

Silently screaming "Goooooaaaaal" to not wake up everyone in my house (or the neighbours) #AUSvJPN #socceroos

Outstanding from McGee to Behich to clinch an 89' goal. #AUSvJPN #afc

Finally had a chance to revist my comfyui set up with Flux which has been frustratingly slow on even a high spec Mac. Some tuning to ensure libs use GPU & addition of TeaCache has definitely sped up performance from "watching paint dry" levels. Not quite interactive but passable. #genAI #comfyui

Again, we're sending our very capable defence force in to do environmental disaster work. While they are more than capable, it seems the rolling disasters we're now facing - especially from flooding - suggests we need a professional, standing capability beyond ADF & SES. #auspol #resilience

I thought the official tie breaker solution from the AEC was best of three rounds of "Rock-Paper-Scissors" #auspol #ausvotes

A good feature of being a self employed consultant is that when you're up at 4am because *checks notes* the world, you can have a nap like a 3 year old at 2pm to get you through the rest of the day. #selfEmployed #wfh #mindBreak

This lights up every pathway in my brain and I can't stop loving it.
