The second Friday of the year is 'quitter's day'. It's marketing but it's a nice rule of thumb. However, Friday was the first day of this year so is it actually tomorrow? Is that when everyone will give up?

This makes me dread looking for my next job. In a few years it seems that the whole job hunt has changed, and it wasn't fit for purpose to begin with

When did 'staff' become a seniority level? I know it's existed for a bit now but did we really need something else to slot next to Lead, Principal? It's goes Lead -> Staff -> Principal, right?

Middle aged skeet incoming: Some shelves I ordered are being delivered today and I’m excited!

“Good for business and against the LGBTQ agenda”. Well screw you too

Jesus Christ on a stick!

Early in the year reminder to buy these for Easter before they sell out

The gym is still fun. I hope I don’t lose that as the year goes on

I’m dumb, but would a customs union with our neighbour protect our economy from random tariff changes coming from the US?

2 weeks in and I’m still going to the gym and trying my best to hit my macros. I’m not counting down but I’m celebrating that success

still looks like the future

Why are people on insta throwing back to 2016? Is it so we can see the damage this continuous insanity has caused?

Question for the Product Designers and User Researchers, any advice for dealing with PMs that only see the product process through the tech lens? So pure build and launch based only on stakeholder feedback with no space for even half smallest double diamond

I don't recall saying good luck

Isn't the literally the opposite of casting doubting? Isn't this literally saying that ChatGPT was part of the writing process?

I'm going through Data Compliance training and there are so many Gen AI questions. Can there be a button where I affirm that I don't really want to ever use it and skip through the end quiz?

First proper week at the gym done. It’s still fun but I wonder what’ll happen when crunch time hits

Add this to the pile of evidence demonstrating why I don’t trust Guardian reviews

What’s the mess today?

How do you continuously and regularly fail healing skill checks? #dbd

January is really the worst month to have any resolutions. It’s clearly a capitalist plot to expect us to better ourselves exactly when we’re going into the coldest and wettest season

People in tech can't be the type of person who suffer from anxiety. The current version of agile, lean, strategy, Jira, planning, whatever just feels like a trapped fly banging against windows

First time an insight has been “participants think they can just do this with ChatGPT so don’t see any value”. It feels like a seal has been broken

Kefir isn’t too bad

I’ve just remembered that turn based mode has been in beta for pillars of eternity for a bit now. Hopefully not long until it comes to console

That’s my second workout of the year sorted

Oh no! That doesn’t look good for a quiet gym session

Ayo & Rachel’s comedy bits are very Broad City and I love it. That’s my 5 years too late take

First gym workout of the year! Simple thing using Hevy’s beginner PPL plan but it’s a start

At 0.5kg of weight loss a week, I'll need almost a year to get to my goal weight. This is clearly a marathon and not a sprint

Why can’t I save my Covid island on animal crossing and start a new one? I don’t want to lose it. I want it saved in a little bottle for me to visit from time to time

One morning of work and I’m shattered already

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

That's most of my work done for the day. What can I do to pass the time now?

87Kg this morning. Ouch

I’m back to work tomorrow and I’ll be the only one in the office. Something tells me that I should bring my Switch

My prediction for the Stranger Things finale: disappointing. My prediction for Stranger Things later in the year: it’s revealed they used GenAI to plan and write some of this season

Finally done with the pandoro. Half a large tub of Nutella and a whole gianduja cake left

Bugger, it looks like the diet won’t start tomorrow. There’s still going to be fatty food about that needs eating

Coral Island isn’t on Switch. That is surprising

Like everyone, I’m going on a fitness kick in the new year but I want to skeet about it to help with motivation. Is it worth creating a new account just for that? Or should I just do it here? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lara Croft’s new face looks like it was generated by AI, if you’re into that kind of thing

The silence on this has beat deafening but I’ll say it: the Broadway recording of Wicked is still better than the movie soundtrack they uploaded to Spotify. #JusticeForErivo

Should we really say 'analyse' for AI doing stuff? It implies thought. Wouldn't 'compile' be better? The LLM is compiling interviewing data?

If there ever was a case for Morrowind to be remastered, it's this image of a pack rat and the promise of seeing it in 4K

This is giving more than Simpsons Remastered. It's closer to Buffy Remastered vibes.

This is awesome and so well thought out

As a gay male, I have two important questions: Where can I watch Heated Rivalry in the UK? Is it any good?
