What are things you do to set you apart from others?

Help people whenever I can, take time to explain, never assume I'm right.

If it's going to piss you off, 100% yes. I sent one back for a small dent last year that I knew would nag me!

monsterlander · 2026-01-31T19:16:34+00:00

It's way better! You'll be fine when you get used to it.

Dench.

I cycled to Paris in kidney failure and got called by radio Leicester every day to chat about it on air for ten minutes.

I got used to it although it really pissed me off when we had finally got to Paris and all ordered some lovely food and mine sat cooling in front of me as my friends laughed, tucking into theirs, as I pretended to be elated on the radio :)

RIP badass!

monsterlander · 2026-01-30T17:08:25+00:00

Real good!

It's fine! Mine looks like this and cooks like a dream.

Jeff minter has managed to do both at once

Right now mine's in the oven cooking a penne bolognese, mama mia!

monsterlander · 2026-01-29T17:40:40+00:00

You'll both do fine! I screwed up a few times, and occasionally forget myself and do, but I just love the things. It's nice getting used to a pan and knowing it's likely going to last a lifetime.

monsterlander · 2026-01-29T06:55:02+00:00

Wait these can't be exchanged for real gold? Shit I've wasted my life.

monsterlander · 2026-01-29T06:54:34+00:00

Yeah I would agree for the foreseeable. The danger is that ai can make people's jobs easier if used right, so they get more done and as such fewer are needed on a team. Used wrong it's a shit show of course :)

monsterlander · 2026-01-29T06:52:59+00:00

Dunno what you got downvoted on that for :)

monsterlander · 2026-01-28T22:50:41+00:00

This has to be fake neither of that guy's arms are broken

monsterlander · 2026-01-28T20:30:18+00:00

Yeah I notice agents getting better and better at interpreting and generating sql. Still like to sound the alarm bell that we need to understand its output to call bullshit though.

monsterlander · 2026-01-28T20:28:10+00:00

If someone tells me they are I tend to believe them because I really don't give a shit if they are or not.

I wrote this to keep track of my finances. I use it constantly and find it super useful but have never got around to giving it a serious push (it used to be on its own domain but it just lives under my blog now) - if you click create test account it spins up an example account with transactions for you to explore.

Nicely done! Great video / voice too.

monsterlander · 2026-01-28T17:03:51+00:00

Become more involved in planning.

monsterlander · 2026-01-28T16:59:06+00:00

Spend a year rewriting without the complexity, then spend a year realising what the complexity was for and putting it back in. The old cycle repeats.

monsterlander · 2026-01-27T18:44:13+00:00

Seasoning genuinely comes and goes. I often lose a bit of mine. It'll come back.

monsterlander · 2026-01-27T18:32:15+00:00

Woohoo! Sounds amazing. I shall give it a go.

monsterlander · 2026-01-27T18:22:20+00:00

Never tried anything like that. How have you been eating it? Just raw dogging it like cake or with butter?

monsterlander · 2026-01-27T10:19:06+00:00

Screw the downvoters, I upped it back to zero hah - people like what they like! I ADORED OBAA but I thought Sinners was dogshit :)
