Ok folks, if you work in tech or have experience of tech, please help with this question. Please RT. 1. Is requiring school kids (15/16yo) to bring a laptop to school a good idea? If yes to 1, then 2. Should those laptops/devices be standardised, locked down, and provided by one supplier?

The Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) says a student needs £61000 over 3 years to live on and that excludes the £9000 per year tuition fees. Granted I haven’t been to university for a while but, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?

We really need to come up with better metaphors for AI agents than junior developers and interns. It’s far more of a reflection of how disrespectfully we treat those roles than it is a useful metaphor for how agents behave

It’s never been the speed of your developers. Never.

@csharpfritz.com @carlfranklin.bsky.social I see there is a IChatClient abstraction for talking to OpenAI provided by Microsoft, is there an abstraction for Anthropic do you know?

I've written a new blog post on AI. I reluctantly learnt some of the concepts and tooling in this space and highlight these for newcomers. I felt I had to investigate rather than hate. I also discuss the flaws of AI, the impact of AI and the future of AI blog.jonathanchannon.com/2025-12-23-i...

If anyone is using Hugo for their blog and possibly others that do code syntax highlighting you may have an issue

Thought I was going mad trying to get my blog's code syntax highlighting to work properly. Turns out there is a bug in @1password.bsky.social browser extension inserting javascript and overriding user's styling More here: www.1password.community/discussions/...

Are we still using Disqus for blog comments or another trendy system?

Isn’t it great that supermarkets join in on the festive cheer by adding little jokes to their packaging. For example, “This Christmas Pudding contains 8 portions”

As a Christmas present to you all I've got the blog up to date and given it a new theme. If you like reading out of date blog posts feel free to visit blog.jonathanchannon.com
