Turns out I was wrong about TDD I used to be a TDD sceptic - too much time writing tests for features that might get deleted. Then coding agents completely changed the economics of software testing.

Wrote up some thoughts on how my approach to software testing has changed: martinalderson.com/posts/turns-...

Thanks for the mention! I'm really not an expert in UI frameworks these days for dotnet @runxc1.bsky.social . I believe that Avalonia is the most "complete"/tested. But it doesn't use native UI components afiak, so MAUI is likely to be better for that, but I've just heard horror stories about bugs

Are we really repeating the telecoms crash with AI datacenters? Looking at actual token demand growth, infrastructure utilization, and capacity constraints - the economics don't match the 2000s playbook like people assume

@robhawkes.bsky.social any chance you could update your renewables map with Cleve Hill? Appears to be data for it and it the first grid metered solar AFIAK?

If they did allow it before EES you could really spend unlimited time in the EU as a UK citizen, because you'd have no stamps and there would be no way to count the days spent.

Not in the EU though. In PT for the UK egates you still have to get your passport stamped manually after. They need to check the amount of time you have spent in the EU, the egates can't do that (until the EES). There is no central DB of time spent in the EU without checking passport stamps manually

does it? I cannot see how they can allow UK citizens access to the EU egates as they don't have manual checks after.

@gri.gs loved your talk on 3rd parties. Been spending a lot of time on this and would love to connect - unfortunately not in Amsterdam but saw it on the live stream.
