It’s been noted that the 2024.x and 2025.x releases included significant regressions. As is traditional, the product manager responsible has been given a promotion so that they no longer have hands on responsibilities.

I’ve started writing the date with points - 2026.01.30 - so that I can pretend each day is a new version update.

Today came with “bug fixes and security updates so that you can continue to enjoy your experience.”

The next challenge is trying to see it. From all I’ve read, not only are they well camouflaged, but their call aldo carries a huge distance so is hard to locate

We’ve just identified a wonderfully haunting bird call that we’ve been hearing evening and night for the lasts few weeks. We’ve got a south east London-based tawny owl 🦉. It’s a little like a hollow train whistle hoot.

@caseyliss it’s easy. We pronounce (networking) router that way so that we don’t mix it up with woodworking router which we pronounce the other way

Typically it starts with an innocuous problem. Something isn’t happening fast enough, or at all and, despite suspicions, no one is quite sure why.

Currently imagining a re-telling of Luke Rhinehart’s The Dice Man, but using LLMs and I can’t decide if it’s a Black Mirror episode, or just reality 😬
