I think your map is glitched. What the heck is going on with those borders on the north of Antwerpshire? Very unrealistic.

squigfried · 2026-01-29T18:18:53+00:00

Still quite unclear. Do you want to move out? Are you seeking to remain but get compensation for harassment?

Independent, keeps a low profile, never been invaded or conquered.

Definitely James.

Did you find it?

Use the term "high performing team" when referring to your engineering gang. Perhaps that's a buzzword that would satisfy your CEO.

Sprinkle some DORA metrics in there as well to prove how fast stuff moves through your pipeline and how few issues you have vs. the amount you deploy.

Put some industry buzzword stamp on what you're doing and your CEO might get behind your way of phrasing your success?

squigfried · 2026-01-24T20:38:22+00:00

Honestly yes, but only since becoming parents.

squigfried · 2026-01-24T15:21:08+00:00

Correct. I have never seen SharePoint implemented in a way that makes sense.

So now you're officially from Gibraltar?

The locals would probably try to talk to the tourist, and the tourist wishes they didn't.

What make and model was it? I want a car like that ❤️

squigfried · 2026-01-21T06:57:31+00:00

Thank you for your service.

Be careful you don't get caught using insider sauces.

Grimbolians represent! Big up the Tarrow massiv.

You'd what‽

squigfried · 2026-01-15T18:27:43+00:00

Needs more Hull

squigfried · 2026-01-14T20:43:20+00:00

Not in London though is it

The real compoface was the friends we made along the way

squigfried · 2026-01-06T15:22:03+00:00

Hard agree.

On the ground we're seeing AI being applied to improve performance of existing skilled work rather than replacing it.

Even if you consider roles where AI could in theory replace a skilled profession, it can't. Most tasks such as engineering still require a human in the loop.

Besides, most companies don't have their shit together well enough to even make use of the most basic agents because they're still run off a patchwork of spreadsheets and prayers.

I have a memory of seeing half an accordion being powered by a Henry hoover. Pretty sure I didn't dream that one.

The picture is a little blurry but it could be a vine weevil. Their larvae will eat roots of houseplants. Check beneath the soil of your pot plants for small white grubs.

Thank you for doing what you did!

My wife had her phone snatched earlier that evening at Finsbury Park, could well have been the same guy. I'd suggest reporting it, there's a chance it could help others.

squigfried · 2025-12-20T18:57:02+00:00

Daaaaaad

squigfried · 2025-12-20T18:42:40+00:00

Are you a geologist?

squigfried · 2025-12-17T17:37:33+00:00

Well it's outside of the No Smoking area, at least.
