There are many amazing things in this world. Social media is not one of them - so I’m closing my account. See you in real life!

Founders Hub Friday gatherings (by ScotlandIS and Bayes Centre, Edinburgh) are proving really helpful already, looking forward to meeting loads more of you.

Next meeting is this Friday - I can’t make it but there will be good chat and great peer support as the two before! lu.ma/gttxy0q3

That’s strange. Fyne isn’t aiming to be mobile focused - it’s platform agnostic. The mobile features are behind platform driver abstractions just like the desktop additions of system tray etc.

Me and my laptop admiring the Canadian scenery from a sleeper cabin.

A lot is said about work life balance. But I don’t know where I stand… should we shut off when out of office, or do startup founders work any time we can?

Well today I’m thinking: focus on living and fit work around it. Today is scenery, coding! And maybe community engagement if the wifi works 😎.

I'm looking forward to seeing what people build, and hearing how it is benefitting their companies. It's amazing how fast you can put an app together when a smart app & backend does all the hard work for you ;).

If anyone out there is keen to see how apps can be more secure and robust by default whilst still getting productivity of low-code and AI assistants then you should check out apptrix.ai.

Omg it is getting so painful. At #PlusEquals5 last week plenty of industry leaders were gathered and agreed that AI will have massive impact - but it’s a tool not a replacement.

Really excited to be at #PlusEquals5 at @edinburghnapier.bsky.social today. Fantastic discussions with industry leaders talking about the future of software engineering.
I hope folk enjoyed my last-minute welcome - nothing like a little adrenaline to boost a presentation ;).
