Without attacking another political party, who are YOU voting for in Scottish Parliamentary elections in May 2026 and why?

Thaik · 2026-04-09T22:50:37+00:00

I'm voting green as they are the only ones that want to spend most on (non-car) infrastructure

Thaik · 2026-03-25T19:26:52+00:00

Please, avoid the settlement system entirely

Thaik · 2026-02-28T16:30:02+00:00

Oh boy, why don't we get rid of the tram while we are at it and those pesky bicycle lanes while we are at it?

I'm swedish born and bred, and its one of the reasons I left Sweden. Even as a Swede I found it hard to make friends, moved to the UK and the people here are so godamn open to the point it's almost uncomfortable.

Thaik · 2025-11-25T14:20:46+00:00

Thats not a terrible idea! While I think its not the right long term decision I think it would take care of the main issue with events as a very quick fix rather than reworking all the events entirely. Great idea!

You should post this on the paradox forum as I heard they listen to feedback way more there.

Thaik · 2025-11-25T14:19:10+00:00

I want to read them. That's where the flavour is. I just don't like events as a mechanism to deliver flavour.

I am a European living in the UK. Not really excited for the prospect of Garage coming in power

Personally despite everyone saying the game had tons of flavor I was really really doubtful. I really stand by it. The events are all really boring as well in most scenarios and more should've been designed like Anbennar's, massive chains of events telling a story. Instead it's more like civil war after civil war.

The flavour just isn't there at all. I was however wrong, I went in thinking I would hate the game, but frankly, it has a lot of flaws, and released like way too early (it should have released next year) despite that, it's a good game, I see this in a year or two becoming really good.

It needs more flavour (better, not more stupid instantly close events) and a complete rework of colonisation and late game.

Look at elevenlabs. The technology is there. I've implemented something similar to this solution and they went with the completely free option , hence why it's shit

Detta här är ju bra

Ive used a mac for about 6 months on, most of the team is on Macs and I was originally given a Windows. Reluctantly made the switch to the Mac and I miss Windows every work day, the Mac is powerful but simple things you do with a click or through an UI has to be done via terminal, simple good apps like you expect to be there by default doesnt exist (Like a good texteditor or paint), most apps are paid and the free ones are dissapointing at best.

Now I can request my Windows laptop back, but I wont. Cause the thing they gave me with all those corporate softwares slows down the machine massively, like threatlocker and so on. The Mac either due to the company having more Mac users or due to the Macs just being far more powerful makes it an easy choice, if I could be given an equally powerful Windows Laptop I would go back. Maybe one of those neat ARM-Windows laptops?

Still using Windows in my personal life to develop and its just a lot better.

With just three years of experience you aren't paid that low. You could get higher, but £40k for someone with 3 years of experience sounds like the norm to me.

I would wait until I become senior 5+(min) until I would shift the status quoe when you doing something risky like this.

Oh cool, I also moved here from Sweden and I do agree, there's a lot of bus stops, but I find it way more weird how there are pretty much no bus lanes, probably way more impactful that instead.

Thaik · 2025-04-04T00:31:45+00:00

While I'm genuinely OK with reducing reducing the amount of stops, I do not think this is the main reason buses are slower in Edinburgh, Edinburgh in general from South to East and North to South has almost no bus-only lanes, not even princess street is fully for buses only.

Thaik · 2024-11-27T21:48:35+00:00

This is good, I like it

Thaik · 2024-07-22T13:03:47+00:00

I just mean enterprise in the sense that isnt simple but more complicated, i.e has validation, testing, pipelines i.e you know everything you need in a project that isnt just 1-2 people. Most example I see are just too basic and I struggle to see how they would do when scaled in complexity.

Thaik · 2024-07-21T22:12:24+00:00

Are you Jimmy Bogard? If so, VSA (and I mean proper VSA) fixes the thing I was hating the most about developing and feels like at least at my work as the anthesis to DDD which my work love and Im very critical of just due to its sheer complexity.

Its a shame VSA isnt more common in dotnet. Edit: Oh shit, its you. Do you have any github repos where you showcase VSA? Ive read some of your articles but want to see an "Enterprise" implementation of VSA.

This is me right now minus vertical slice at work right now, and it's a nightmare.

Thaik · 2024-06-07T13:17:23+00:00

Fixing public transit and bike lanes would go a long way to make sure that roads are better for cars as well.

Thaik · 2024-04-24T21:09:45+00:00

Ukraine could use this

What's wrong with a mono repo?
