The here and now
What I’m up to
Working on
- This site. Finally launched, still fiddling with it.
- The Technical Specialist role at Royal London: setting front-end standards across Digital, and coaching engineers.
- Continuing to push on accessibility and web standards. Both still need more people who actually care.
Thinking about
- AI: where it’s actually useful, where it’s just noise, and how to work with it honestly.
- The sunk cost fallacy of the ‘full-stack’ engineer. A long time coming.
Reading
- Currently
- Wool - Hugh Howey.
- Recently finished
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams.
- Also finished
- The Bat - Jo Nesbø. Vagabond: A Hiker’s Homage to Rural Spain - Mark Eveleigh. Abroad in Japan - Chris Broad.
Outside work
- Slowly decorating the house. Emphasis on slowly.
- Finally did some paddleboarding, after all that research.
- Still playing Breath of the Wild, third time round. This time I’ll finish it.
- Itching to get back out walking and shooting with the Fuji.
- Walking the Wainwrights, slowly. 13 down, 201 to go.
