HELLO! I was Lord Buckethead in the 2017 Election but I have since renounced my peerage, partly because I promised to abolish the Lords and I'm a politician who keeps my promises, and partly because of an unfortunate battle on the planet Copyright. This has left me unbowed but...

I keep getting oddly excited by Jamstack
Great idea!
We have Remote Weeks once a quarter or so, where *everyone* is supposed to work from someplace other than the office. We always emerge with a long list of improvements.
Supposed to be on holiday... learning a new language instead. #Incorrigible
Surely a 🔎 icon should mean 'zoom', not 'find'???
I love being back on UTC, because I hate working with time even without the summer nonsense. #clockschange

The banality of evil is on fine display amongst most Big Tech workers. It’s not like we set the strategy! We just make the trains run on time! It can’t be our responsibility to consider where those trains are headed... (can it?!).
Take a moment to read some tweets from @jessfraz . I love the variety of topics that all seem to chime with my nerd side.
I heard someone say once about the damage Steve Jobs' book did to the tech industry, because people began to think it was ok to be like his worst personality traits, without realising what was good about him. Learn things from your idols, don't mirror them
Replying to @jessfraz
"This is the problem with the act-like-me, talk-like-me, think-like-me leadership monoculture: it doesn’t promote the best talent; it promotes the talent that most closely resembles those already in power."
It's hard when you get so excited about new technology to choose which ones deserve a place in your team. Coding once in a new language or framework means years of support. Node.js hits a sweet spot here. A technology that actually reduces the number of languages needed #NodeJS

Nice to see the kids playing with each other. Less nice that they are in separate rooms on an MMO and talking via Discord...
Fish avoiding: I'm trying a new sport next year where you have to spend all day chucking salmon flies in the river without any pesky fish biting them.
I have to say, demanding a selfie with you holding some photo ID and a sign saying a requested phrase, is a brutally efficient route to proving who is in control of an email address
