Love to play with software. Some people pay me to do it. Play guitar with little skill or discipline, sometimes it sounds like jazz. But really, all you need to know is that about 80% of my wittering is about #TheTraitors

It’s pretty barmy even by Watford’s standards. I know he was asst managing at Lens, but his record as head coach is not good.

Literally only caught from about 70 minutes. Dunno what social media is whinging about though, I reckon we’ve looked pretty good 😅 #ncfc

I like the lads - they're genuine fans who care about what they're doing. But you have to take a lot of what they say on face value - I don't think their insights go much deeper than your mate down the pub, and a lot of how they experience NCFC "fandom" is based on what's happening on Twitter.

oh yes, I agree completely - they're who I meant by those selling spades. Outside of those burning through investor money/selling AI as a commodity, I don't think this bold new tech has improved income anywhere. And that seems mental given how much money is getting pumped into it.

I’d be interested in revenues too- I’m not sure we’re seeing massive new sources of income from this stuff outside of those selling spades.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

I’d be well pissed off if that happened to us and it wasn’t a red #ncfc

“He’s saved us more points than he’s cost us” is something you hear a lot. I’m not sure if you did the maths that that would be definitely be the case.

Something to be said for watching us play good football. I liked the late playoff run as much as any other fan, but it wasn’t pretty.

Thought 4 points from this block of four games was optimistic. No matter how boro goes, we’ve got at least 9. Remarkable. #ncfc

Usually a January signing takes till the end of the season to bed in and understand the league. I can’t remember someone coming from a non English league and getting going so quickly. Looks a natural, going to go far.

Nigella to bake off, suella to reform. This January transfer window is getting out of hand.

I’m guessing their pool of potential players is tiny too, population not much more than kings Lynn.

A Software Library with No Code Do we still need libraries of 3rd party code when AI agents are this good?

Obliquely related, what do you think of this thought experiment? www.dbreunig.com/2026/01/08/a...

it’s probably taking bdd/atdd to its logical extreme, and having the tests as prompts feels like a recipe for disaster, llms marking their own homework etc, but it did give me a lot to think about.

I agree, but pulling out of his farewell game even when the agreement reportedly allowed him to because “he wasn’t in the right frame of mind” strikes me as unnecessary and a bit of a kick in the teeth to his fans. From all accounts, werder needed the sale.

Josh Sargent: Werder Bremen striker completes Norwich City medical ahead of £8m transfer USA international Josh Sargent set to make a move to the Premier League with Norwich City after spending entire professional career in Bundesliga with Werder Bremen

(He pulled a similar line after pulling out of his farewell Werder Bremen game, don’t think he minds leaving a bad taste in former fans’ mouths - www.skysports.com/football/new...)

I wouldn’t rule it out entirely, MLS subreddit has all sorts of conspiracy theories along those lines (his daughters birthday was the day of the Walsall game and they said he had to play is another, more tenuous one).

Me, I think it’s agent shenanigans.

Also completely scuppered an already small chance of featuring in the World Cup. Huge miscalculation.

yeah, I get a letterboxd notification every now and then because BBC have readded it. This might be the reminder I need to finally watch it!

For sure, that, manning over thorup, Nunez (that’s probably the biggest one)… it’s always felt like the signings had potential though, glad to see someone able to harness that potential.
