Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down.
The facts show a very different picture.
I'm excited to be speaking at @droidcon.bsky.social London this year about the things a Platform team can do for the overall productivity of your mobile org!

I loved my MX Master when I had it, but ended up having to move to the MX Vertical due to wrist pain. I wish they'd make some updates to that one, especially as the scroll wheel on it sucks
I think literally every single time I asked both Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 the same question, I got a better response from GPT. Gemini is really, really not good

In the last two days I've had two people stop me to give me their opinions on me using my phone whilst walking (on practically empty pavements, not crossings).
The latest informing me (falsely) that in Hamburg I can be fined 60€ for it.

Just to add, we've been using it for over a year with absolutely no problems

Drivers in Cairo stay in your lane challenge: impossible
The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over
