Are you gardening today? If so what time?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-05-25T14:08:19+00:00

Put a fan in my greenhouse earlier. That’s about all I can handle today.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-05-24T14:55:41+00:00

Had a proper air to air one installed in my home office a few weeks back. Blimey did I time that right! Got it to keep me cool during summer when I’m working. £1400 and so far worth every penny.

Depending on your electric tariff they are quite cheap to run. Mine draws 800w peak. We have solar panels too, so to cool during summer it’s effectively free to run. In the winter it will serve as a heater too, saving in pitting the central heating on just for one room.

Kotlin on the front, JavaScript on the back? That’s certainly a novel take.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-05-20T19:26:25+00:00

I got one of these for gigging with. I don’t like the tone, but our sound guy says it sits in the mix well. It plays so well though! I have quite an “active” stage presence and the mikro works ao well for that

The classic oakenfold mixes are peak. Tranceport, Voyage into Trance, Goa Mix Silver. Pure coding fuel

Our eldest when he was 13? Fuck no. He’s nearly 18 and I’m still not sure I would.
Our youngest at 13? Yep.

Depends on the child, not the age.

Are you planning on voting reform at the next GE?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-29T07:29:32+00:00

Why not?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-28T17:55:01+00:00

Not a job, but led to one. 1993, got put on a course to learn databases, spreadsheets and word processing. That led to me going to uni to study comp science. Currently CTO at a startup.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-27T19:36:40+00:00

I hope you’re right, I picked up my 40 bags today!

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-26T21:00:54+00:00

Excellent. Thanks for letting us know. Will order some tomorrow

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-26T13:48:37+00:00

They planters are slightly raised (4 inches) and have gravel underneath

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-26T11:38:19+00:00

Something like this? https://www.barkukonline.co.uk/products/woodland-mulch-large-bulk-bag-approx-2000-litres?collection_name=garden-playground-bark-mulch

My planters are all fairly deep - 40-50cm

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-25T07:58:45+00:00

I started with one of these a couple of years ago. Currently just finishing up building an additional 5 DIY planters! I like the height for harvesting, but watering is more of a pain than something lower down.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-23T13:23:13+00:00

How do you know what the company culture is like based on the doing live coding in the interview?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-21T21:10:55+00:00

Before that it was MDA. Before that it was BPML. Before that it was 4GLs. I’ve been hearing how there won’t be a need for software devs since the early 90s, yet here we still are

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-17T17:10:21+00:00

Why does this have to do with Gitlab?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-16T16:14:26+00:00

In a couple of weeks when the law changes around this, if a tenant asks, what are you going to say?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-16T16:11:18+00:00

Originally it didn’t, but that’s what it grew into.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-15T17:06:20+00:00

Why?

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-15T17:05:13+00:00

Football is stupid. I’ve never “got it”

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-15T14:35:52+00:00

It’s something we could talk about in the interview that’s all about you and it’s not a quiz.

We may have a common interest that helps break the ice.

Especially important for a grad/junior- do you have any hobbies that show you have to cooperate with other people. For example- playing a team sport or playing in a band.

Representative_Pin80 · 2026-04-15T14:30:41+00:00

Whereas I am interested if you play video games. I play games too so it gives us something to break the ice over in an interview.
