This afternoon I got some wonderful #Christmas gifts from my #TechNott Secret Santa - although #Morph didn't seem impressed at being a table - thanks so much!

Muslims didn’t visit homes on Eid, Hajj didn’t take place, no Diwali for Hindus, no Vaisakhi for Sikhs. Yet at Christmas it’s perfectly legal to have three families over for 5 days - illegal during the entire pandemic. Never let it be said that minorities don’t put Britain first.

Last year I wrote https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/12/16/second-appendixaversary/ as a reflection on the rupturing of my #appendix two years ago. I can't believe it's three years on, and I really can't imagine how I would have coped if it were this year
So #Morph has been at the cattery while we've been moving, and the pretty much the first thing he did when he came back in evening is find a hidey hole in the #NewHouse

If you're not going to provide hands-on training and mentorship to junior devs, don't hire junior devs. "Junior" does not mean "cheap labor".

10 times out of 10 I would rather work with an engineer who has never touched code before but is a nice person to work with than with a top-class engineer who is also an asshole. The asshole will always create more problems than tickets they close.Emily (@EmilyKager)Wed, 02 Dec 2020 19:27 GMT

How do I look a teenage girl at a high school workshop in the eye and tell her that there's a place for her in the tech industry, knowing she's going to have to struggle through years of being underestimated, underpaid, and overworked just to get half the respect of her peers?

Well, tonight at #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham I managed to get my staging site using my new #indieauth server, and aside from a couple of hiccups, it works 🎉 now I just need to clean up a few bits and add some logging for debugging, then we're good to go 😱
As December is a pretty busy month, this week's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham will be the last of the year - so we're going to look back at the year, and try to see some of the good in it. Note that it's on Thursday, not Wednesday!
