Another introduction to the Thinking Apple as Haydn pleads his case before The Council 🦆 .

Some fun problem-solving around #NaturalLanguageProcessing.

I had my first general mentoring session with a small in-house product dev team today. As it felt like an important occasion, I brought The Council along to make sure everything went well.

Seemed to work! 🦆

Had two of the @TechTalentPro juniors do a client demo today - a spike to show how they’re able to classify a short summary of an incident with some NLP techniques - and I’ve just had an email from the client to say how impressed they were with what they’ve built so far.

I’m sharing it with them (and the wider team) tomorrow, but I’m really happy for them in the meantime ☺️.

I had a great time chatting with Róisín, the engagement specialist at Sunderland Software City, about all things social media.

She kindly came and gave a social media talk to our cohort and I mentioned the Fediverse. Today was a big intro and I gave her a brief run down on most(!) of the apps around.

Go see @bilbobodybaggins (great screen name) and say hello!
