Explaining how trade-offs need to be made, and how things are prioritised is nuanced thinking, and requires someone to articulate some overarching guiding principles, but that would also be incredibly wonderful to see and hear.

Give people housing thatβs affordable and fit to live in, decent healthcare, a sense of fairness in how people are taxed, and a chance to feel the world isnβt falling apart in the worst ways, and who knows what will happen.

You know, Iβd be happier if @teamlabouruk.bsky.social made policy as if they wanted to improve society and keep Labour voters rather than pandering to authoritarian-leaning people whoβll never vote for them.

I am pretty firmly convinced that for making changes in a codebase using AI, TDD is the way forwards. You write the test, which adds a sliver of functionality, then get the LLM to make the code work. Then tell it to refactor the bits that look ugly, or do it yourself by hand.

The absence of trans people from the British media is part of the problem. I'd like to offer mentoring to trans people trying to get into journalism, free of charge. Most of my experience is obviously in political commentary, but I might be passably useful in news and other areas.

βTL;DRβ is short for βToo Long; Didnβt Readβ.
