Some thoughts on the agency sales process. > How often do we deliver something fundamentally different from what we thought was agreed with a client? … and what can be done to improve on it? harrybailey.com/2025/10/thou...

I enjoyed chatting with Olorunfemi Davis in the latest #UnhandledException podcast episode. We spoke about Microsoft Copilot Studio, Semantic Kernel, and AI in general. unhandledexceptionpodcast.com/posts/0079-o... #dotnet

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟭: 🔍 Why developers resist learning: Fear disguised as confidence ("I'm terrified of looking stupid"), overwhelm paralysis (too many options = choose none), and the expertise trap (why become a beginner when you're already an expert?).

It can be easy to oversimplify accessibility to things like colour contrast and heading levels. Both are important, but in the wild, much of what we encounter is far more complex. I was reminded of an issue we found while I was at HMRC. A service was using a reference number that started with XI.

I have plantar fasciitis, got some Sketchers slippers, complete game changer. Turns out my Grandma was on to something when she told me off for walking around the home in socks/barefoot. Theres some good guidance here for what to look for in a shoe www.running-physio.com/pf-shoe-sele...

Not saying I've become accustomed to jira/ devops tickets and a certain workflow, but when working on own website, not adding a ticket number to one's own commit feels wrong...

If the software that powers a state's unemployment insurance system breaks, there is no sense in which the state has an unemployment insurance program. In government technology isn't a nice-to-have, it's not a bolt-on—it's the codification and execution of the mission of the agency.
