Trust is the glue of our society, but we’re living through a 30+ year crisis of trust in institutions. As software makers, we aren't just witnesses to this crisis; we are participants in it.

When a number is wrong, trust is lost. And I am sort of fed up of "works on my machine" being applied to number and data outputs by systems. "Number is correct, bug closed". We have to do better.

So I've tried to document that, and also share some more difficult areas like communicating uncertainty in a sensible way.

The lovely people at #Monkigras are letting me share this with a wonderful audience of curious engineers next week (19th-20th March - link https://monkigras.com/ )

Do not worry, there will also be trains. Hopefully yellow ones.
