Unintentional dickhead. Tech lead at an e-commerce company (but this profile is personal, blah blah blah). Theme park nut, rower, comedy fan, like a bit of gardening and baking (not at the same time, nobody wants muddy cakes or floury flowers). Quite sweary. Also available on Bluesky and Instagram, sporadically posting to whichever I'm most in the mood for. Neurospicy/Gay-Ace-ish.

Last boost: this is the thing that's bothering me the most at the moment. You need that junior experience, there's no substitute for doing those tasks and learning from it.
Fi 🏳️⚧️Not to mention - there's no fucking juniors out there being hired, so I have to do all the scut work that you normally use to -train- juniors, if I want it done right, because - surprise! - nobody's fucking hiring juniors on because they believe the fucking LLM jockeys' bullshit promises.
Anthropic and everyone like them can go fucking eat shit.
European CommissionUK, welcome back to Erasmus+ 🇪🇺🇬🇧
The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.
We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.
It will also help create and deepen partnerships between our academic institutions.
Together again through learning, exchange and connection 🤝
I would like to go back in time 10 years, when searching for a solution to a tech problem didn't just bring back a screenful of identical "10 best fixes for [whatever]", none of which are anything other than an advert for some dreadful malware.
MostlyHarmlessWhy can't I find a doctor who will prescribe "sea air" for my nerves so I can spend a summer in a picturesque costal town in England "for my health" only to be caught up in a local scandal and forced to solve a murder?
Ask me how many failed attempts it took to get an old Apple Thunderbolt monitor to work with a modern MacBook Pro, before realising that although the connections LOOK like mini Displayport and USB C, an adaptor for that won't work.
Just saw one of those awful "post an image or you'll have an awful April" chain letter style posts on another network. Joke's on them: I'd already planned to have an awful April.
