Yeah, especially when we have the tech much of the time to not need the noise

Or in the case of stadium concerts, do you really need to be that loud? Really?

Or can’t you just go into an arena instead?

I’m very lucky my cat doesn’t mind firework noise, but back garden fireworks are crap anyway

Scotland have relatively new laws which allow councils to ban fireworks in an area. For example, there’s now one around Edinburgh Zoo for a couple of weeks because a couple of Red Pandas died from stress last year

It’s a start. But yes. Fireworks should be for events in remote areas only

Considering buying buttheresnowaymytestdatawillenduponprod.com with a blog of these kind of examples, and making it mandatory reading for new members of my team

I’m only half joking

“But there’s no way my test data will show up in prod”

I’m sorry Jonathan, I think you’re great but telling an England team rugby player that you have core strength is like me telling Delia Smith I’m a good cook #CelebrityTraitors

Yep. They squandered the big signup spikes by doing nothing to keep people here. In turn, many companies who only look at engagement have just abandoned their profiles on here

"It's for the farmers!" Hardly anyone's a farmer! They can just get up earlier if they want! They're not catching a fucking train to get to work!

Yeah, I listen to the BBC commentary while watching the pictures on Sky. Harry Benjamin is a far better commentator!

Hamilton getting 10 secs penalty and Verstappen getting nothing is absolutely the wrong decision from the stewards there

Headline from the i paper: “Prince Andrew in talks to leave royal lodge: three ways he could be ejected”

Trebuchet, catapult, and human cannon?

Well done to Asda for failing twice in the last two weeks with their online ordering

Last weekend they forgot to deliver some of my order
This weekend their payment system isn’t working

Let us at least celebrate Halloween and Bonfire night first before we get to Christmas

Do the producers ask the contestants to deliberately misspell names for the social media coverage..?

It isn’t Tom Daley unless he’s showing off his chest #celebrityTraitors

I got that email too. This was particularly disappointing considering what’s been taken and who it is

Not naming names because of spoilers, but the image of that third traitor with their cloak over their head but still showing their face is such a funny sight

I think I’m gonna LOVE this season!

Shout out to the person doing a tour (don’t recognise her lanyard) for press soon, asking very loudly what she is and isn’t allowed to say, or if she should play dumb

I fucking love Manchester

In fairness when I moved away, the Trafford line was still being built and the Exchange Square stop was brand new

I’m visiting Manchester for a few days and
1. I didn’t realise the Tories were here and boooo
2. I got completely confused with Metrolink and I’m a bad Manc nerd

UX so bad that it's illegal Big tech is divesting from user-centered design, and getting into hot water with the law.

Big tech is laying off user researchers in droves, because it believes that coercing its customers is more profitable than silly things like "making good products people want to buy."

But now the FAFO pendulum is coming around, with Amazon's $2.5B dark pattern settlement and #a11y lawsuits galore.

Visual radio is a skill set that very few people have

If you’re throwing cameras up in your podcast studio and uploading the whole show to YouTube, you’re doing it wrong

Unless you have something people want to look at for a long period of time, just record audio. Radio programs were complex without visuals for a long time. Relearn the power of human imagination to fill in the gaps!

It's not a 'Visualised Podcast'. It's a lazy chatshow.

Contrary to popular belief, browser differences are not actually a thing of the past.

Semi-related pro tip: make sure you’re not using the same browser engine as everyone else in your team, developers lie like lying liars when they say they test cross-browser and you will find weird shit sometimes.

Really loved the most recent season of Waterloo Road. Got a gut punch during episode 4, and really hated Jon Richardson’s character (the sign of a really great actor)

I only wish BBC treated it more like a soap and made more than about 18 episodes a year

Got my performance review.
