Yup, all three balls.
- Comment on Over £1 million for towns and cities to clean up chewing gum stains 1 week ago:
I hate everything about chewing gum. The sound of people chewing gum annoys the hell out of me, and seeing it littered on the floor is equally disgusting.

The council is Dublin City Council. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I don’t think Dublin is in the United Kingdom…
- Comment on British passenger in seat 11A survives India plane crash, reports say 2 weeks ago:
It’s waaaaaay more likely dude missed his flight and is pulling a stunt compared to be virtually uninjured and walking into a busy area before rescue crews were out.
This would be insane and quite a claim. His brother was on the flight, so either his brother also missed the flight and would be with him, or he saw his brother die in a plane crash and then immediately decides to head to the crash site and fake being in the accident? I mean it’s not impossible but still lol
It’s probably more likely the plane hit a building first, causing it to break up and he was ejected from the aircraft before the huge explosion.

Asking myself the same thing. The video of it going up in a huge fireball, I just assumed everyone onboard and nearby would have been instantly gone.

- Comment on Sizewell C power station to be built as part of UK’s £14bn nuclear investment 2 weeks ago:
What’s worse is they contract in a fixed price for the power generated which is way higher than renewables can generate it for. So we’re paying more for our electricity.
I guess they do this due to the enormous amount of investment needed to build a nuclear power station, so need some way of guaranteeing returns on it?

- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 2 weeks ago:
It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go
If we include languages like C#, javascript/typescript, python etc then that’s a huge portion of the landscape.
Personally I wouldn’t use it to generate entire features as it will generally produce working, but garbage code, but it’s useful to get boilerplate stuff done or query why something isn’t working as expected. For example, asking it to write tests for a React component, it’ll get about 80-90% of it right, with all the imports, mocks etc, you just need to write the actual assertions yourself (which we should be doing anyway).
I gave Claude a try last week at building some AWS infrastructure in Terraform based off a prompt for a feature set and it was pretty bang on. Obviously it required some tweaks but it saved a tonne of time vs writing it all out manually.
- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 2 weeks ago:
I feel like it’s more the sudden overnight hype about it rather than the technology itself. CEOs all around the world suddenly went “you all must use AI and shoe horn it into our product!”. People are fatigued about constantly hearing about it.
But I think people, especially devs, don’t like big changes (me included), which causes anxiety and then backlash. LLMs have caused quite a big change with the way we go about our day jobs. It’s been such a big change that people are likely worried about what their career will look like in 5 or 10 years.
Personally I find it useful as a pairing buddy, it can generate some of the boilerplate bullshit and help you through problems, which might have taken longer to understand by trawling through various sites.

- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 3 weeks ago:
Getting the UK public to be on board with just a digital ID isn’t going to fly
They’re selling it as a tool to fight illegal immigration, so I suspect it’ll go down well with the public.
- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 3 weeks ago:
My worry about this idea is that it would be a requirement for you to have the ID on you at all times. I hate the thought that you basically have to have your id on you wherever you go just in case the police stop you. I know realistically you’re likely to have your phone on you anyway but still.
If it’s also a requirement, would would the government have a scheme to help people buy a phone if they can’t afford one?
