Real software also has a "journey"
There has to be a logical thread you can follow through the app to get work done, and one has to set up the next
Doesn't have to be the only one, and ideally you shoul be able to deviate
But its more than a collection of screens
Real Software is roughly:
not an experiment
meant for other people to use
true regardless of how it's created
@mattpocockuk talks about real engineering which is what i'm thinking about for software generally
"craft" v "slop"

Norway's fund works because Norwegians can look at $2.4trn of Nvidia and Palantir shares for twenty years and not touch it
the people most upset Britain never built one would have forced it to dump Palantir after the first demo and spent the rest on nurses in the first recession

one of my personal motivations with gov.uk was burning wordpress out of every important uk government service. even back in 2012 we all knew it was a problem

People need to stop blaming themselves for utterly broken hiring processes.
One of the long overdue impacts of AI on the UK economy (I hope) is that we start promoting actual builders into positions of responsibility rather than genial bullshitters.
In all fairness to Amol Rajan, I’d rather scratch my own eyes out than watch a two hour interview with Gareth Southgate

The UK being a serviced based economy makes it more vulnerable to AI than most.
The government needs to urgently wake up and immediately formulate a strategy to manage the incoming impact.
It’s unbelievable to me this hardly features in political discourse.
Precisely. City could take a season in the Championship and with their owners be absolutely fine.
United are a season outside the Champions League away from more job cuts.
🚨 Ohara & Cundy On Man City 👀
🗣"When you're looking at what Utd's owners are doing to THAT club.. I'd rather have #ManCity's owners 100%. They've changed their football club, made it better, more global and signed best players. And Sheikh Mansour spent his own money" 👏

Only partly true Michael. City were the bigger club pre-war & on many occasions had the biggest or 2nd biggest average attendance in the country. City also won a European Trophy before Juventus, who were traditionally in Torino's shadow until the FIAT money.

If you're switching away from @Railway, don't go with any of the vendors using Railway's breach to poach customers right now.
You want a high-integrity vendor, not one virtue signaling on one of the worst cybersecurity days in years just to grow a little.
Any mature provider knows this can happen to anyone, so they'd never risk the "come over here, we're safe" look. They also know most real customers can't switch overnight.
And I say this as a pretty frustrated Railway customer who's looking at alternatives, too.
This might legitimately be the biggest impact of agents, DevOps without a DevOps team, AWS without the fear of a misconfig costing you the farm.

People don’t necessarily think of @OpenAI as a cyber security company but I think over the next 6 months or so that will change.
The php vuln found today is important and I’m proud of our contribution to discovering it.
There is much much more we can/have/will do to ensure we keep the Internet safe.
Watch this space!
