I did write more things (about LLMs of course). Today is the first day I actually wrote code in about four weeks - and that's only because it was quicker for me to step in when doing visual stuff. theartandscienceofruby.com/us...

CLOSE BUT NO CIG-VAR: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool - The 1865 Match Report A gutting end as #NFFC could not hold out in a game in which they dominated the first half but couldn't score. Rich and Baz try to piece it together. 1865.football#NFFC(video report coming soon)

Mourinho says it's Vinicius Jr's fault he gets racist abuse because he celebrates what he's good at. And four (4) premier league clubs have to release statements condemning the abuse their players have received in the last few days. What a time to be alive

To the Dyche fans - do you think Murillo would have scored that goal if he knew that his reward for breaking position was an extra set of laps round Wollaton Park on Saturday morning? Also who knew there were other ways to play apart from high crosses to short strikers? #nffc

apple.news/ApLImUGFxRxSJ_ZDlo... the angry football fan is a creation of the sport itself … Previously, supporter loyalty would extend to the "thick and thin" principle. Increasingly that loyalty is exhausted simply through the financial effort of being at the game. They made us like this.

Not sure if this naming convention for sub-agents was the best idea. I mean, Robbie as the genius one is good. As are Howard and Jason as the ones doing the grunt work. But …

For all that people outside of Forest think that our owner is some kind of cutthroat gangster, there is a school of thought that he actually thinks more like one of us. Baz explains in our latest podcast:

6th February 2026 was the day the main part of my job became obsolete. Working as a software developer - early 2026 edition: theartandscienceofruby.com/wr...

In the last five days I've probably spent 3 hours writing actual code, yet I've shipped more features this week than the rest of the year. Give Opus 4.6 a decent (gherkin) spec - and ask it to generate screenshots while it's working - and the nature of my job completely changes.

I keep seeing these things saying whateverOS 26.x offers new options for solving the problems with Liquid Ass. But they all seem to be transparency options. Nothing solves the fact that the stupid fucking border radius and shitty spacing wastes acres of space (and makes my 11" iPad useless)

Just got Cher to run a quick test of Showboat and Rodney (great name) by @simonwillison.net (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/10/showboat-and-rodney) and it is fantastic.

I think it’s fair to say the football trend of 25/26 isn’t long throws. It’s managers “doing a Nuno” and forcing the board to sack them after a press interview. That’s Glasner, Amorim, Maresca and the OG, Nuno Espírito Santo now - a definite trend. #cpfc #mufc #cfc #nffc

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Driving with the baby, he decides he doesn’t like our music, so we put on some nursery rhymes and he calms down. But then this song comes up. Why is pussy a swear word? But why isn’t it a swear word when used a second time?

Oh no Robbo - never saw him play but no denying he was one of the greatest. #nffc

Only found out Steve Cropper died yesterday. I knew of his music but only found who he was by watching the Blues Brothers (one of my favourite films). A true great guitarist.

My wife just said “my phone did an update - can I get rid of this new look because it’s utter gash” I shrugged.

This is a nice surprise - there’s a Girls Aloud Christmas album “Christmas round at ours”
