My ancient laptop died and I replaced it with a new MacBook Pro; I splashed out and got the M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU and 48GB of RAM. Lots of people have written excellent reviews on this but having come from an I7 I'll add my own unique perspective on this. Blimey this thing is fast.

I'm speaking at an "AI for the rest of us" meet-up in London next month alongside the brilliant Jovita Tam. I'll be giving a brand-new talk on how we might make AI more sustainable. I'd love to see one or two of you there!

Microsoft: We take security seriously. Also, we’ve just built the worlds most advanced key logger directly into the operating system.

I find the current tension between the reviewers doing their job and the tech entrepreneurs who think they should praise every “innovation” weird. The humane pin is a bad product because the chat/LLM model it’s built on isn’t up to the task-see Siri,Alexa etc. And, dear God, you should have read my early DJ/composer reviews…

My copy of “Building Green Software” by Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu and Sara Bergman has arrived. Can't wait to dive in...

I’m very, very excited to announce the first in a brand new mini-series of podcasts I’m doing with the wonderful GOTO Conferences team at Trifork on software engineering leadership. I’ve got upcoming episodes with Eoin Woods and Gene Kim amongst others, and I’m over-the-moon to have been able to start the series talking to another of my absolute heroes Elisabeth Hendrickson.

I hope you enjoy this episode and, indeed, the whole series.
