A few weeks ago, everyone @TheLeadDev was tasked by @dafletcher to produce a short illustrated children's book in two hours. The catch? We had to use generative AI tools to write the copy and illustrate the pages. 🧵

Sunday question: What is something a great manager you have had did or does that makes you really respect them? I’m looking for acts not traits. (Ex. Holds 1:1s with me every week)

530,126 people were told by NHS Test and Trace that they had to isolate last week. Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak won’t because they believe the rules all of us follow should not apply to them. This government is a sleazy, duplicitous joke.

I am growing somewhat tired of being governed by the most morally and intellectually inadequate people in the country.

As of today, it is literally the law in England that all café owners must "take all reasonable measures" to prevent customers from dancing on the premises.

Hi Damian, If your test took place in a Public Health England lab or NHS hospital, or as part of national surveillance testing conducted by the Office for National Statistics, test results cannot currently be linked with the app whether they’re positive or negative. Thanks.

There is no better way of finding out which voters matter under first past the post than looking at where your taxes are funnelled to.

I thought I’d explain what happened today because I’m absolutely exhausted and tbh I think a light needs to be shone on this. Especially given so many people like me seem to experience the same thing.
