It’s time we stopped doing this shit. The UK is depressing enough in winter without making it get dark at 3:30 in the afternoon.

SaaS companies all seem to be cranking up their prices just as it is becoming possible to vibecode your own version. This will not go well for them.

So if AI is a bubble and the entire US stock market could collapse, and the UK is sinking, and Europe is stagnating, and China is looking shaky, and bitcoin drops when everything else does, where exactly am I supposed to invest my money?

My new book Crazy Successful is out today. And I’m delighted that it's already #1 in both Small Business AND Self Employment. I’m holding an online launch party tonight at 6 - shout if you want to come.

The important question is: how do we ban natural wine?

modern travel is increasingly flying 10 hours to experience a slightly different version of the same globally optimized lifestyle. same third wave coffee. same natural wine bar. same brutalist menu. same sourdough. same beige hotel. same tasteful ceramics. same instagram lighting. what a ridiculous convergence.

Your annual reminder to make plans around the academic year, not the calendar year. Get a jump on all the "New Year, New Me" nonsense.

This is part of what makes the UK one of the most creative countries in the world

An understated virtue of Britain is the space it gives the eccentric, weird and unconventional to simply exist. Sometimes, you’re just a bit odd. And that’s fine. 😃

When you go talk to users, don't (just) ask them what features they want. Ask them what problems they have. In the best case this will lead you to think of features they'll love but would never have thought to ask for. And expect to go through multiple cycles of ask-and-build.

This has never made sense to me. As a former programmer, it offends me.

my hottest grammar take is that the standard practice of including the comma inside the quotation mark here is wrong. the shirt didn't say COLLEGE,
