A sign you feel your writing has improved I guess!

With Nothing to Do It was eight years ago that I lived through some of the worst weeks of my life as a professional software engineer.

Spent some time looking back through old Register Spill posts by @thorstenball.com

Not sure how I missed it first time around but ‘With Nothing to Do’ has just became my favourite and hits close to home.

Highly recommend - registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/with-nothi...

Who's doing your artwork out of curiosity?

Great job on generating revenue for YND, plan on giving it a go in the new year.

Good to see you over here!

Cheeky 😂 I’ve got an hour drive tomorrow night, I’ll stick you on for the journey!

Also, Bill freaking Kennedy?!!

You gotta be ruthless Marcos! I was the same, I purged a bunch of communities last weekend I hadn’t been active in for a while.

Most useful, Rands Leadership Slack, without a doubt!

I think especially with the explosion in AI content, people will move more toward private communities with real humans for interaction.

Another activity I’ve always enjoyed and found helpful - join and participate in private communities.

Slack and Discord have tonnes of communities around most technologies you can jump into and share information, ask questions, and seek feedback. People tend to be more than happy to help.

Gone the total opposite way. Haven’t listened to a podcast in months.

Fantastic David, also recommend Breaking Twitter by Ben Mezrich which goes through the takeover. Character Limit is juicier on the postmortem side.

Wouldn’t even be that bad if it could just discover padding properties.

Good morning Bluesky.

Wasn’t JavaScript built in like a week or two also?

Was wondering where you went, welcome!

Bookmarks is something I’d like to see added also.

It really was the best title.

It’s a fantastic community, highly recommend it for anyone on the fence.
