Scientists recently combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

🎄 Season’s Greetings! We’re working on an event for January 2026. Details to follow soon 🤶

TFW you're preparing a talk "Escaping the developer rut" for #Umbraco #DKFest 2025 and you want to show how AI doesn't express emotion, so for "fun" you ask it to do a PR review on an Umbraco PR and ask it what it is the most proud of, and what it found the hardest...

For 24days.in #Umbraco I wrote an article that blends my return to cycling with how developers build confidence using Umbraco 17's evolving tools and community safety nets, Give it a read if you like a metaphor with your CMS 24days.in/umbraco-cms/... #Community #dotnet

And the last talk "Empathy,Sympathy and Compassion" from @gaprogman.com walking through some of the key skills that he think all developers and technologists should aim to build up #UmbracoInTheCity

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...

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...

Mastodon is great, right until the mastodon server returns a DNS error and your timeline disappears. This is probably true for all social media.
