I don't have any particularly wild claims about creating 50 apps before breakfast with my hoard of AI agents, but I do seem to be doing okay by coordinating the fingers on my left and right hands.
Coding is not my day job anymore, so this GitHub chart is just my spare time.

Took my kid Charlie to Cambridge for an interview at Trinity College. It's like going back in time to an era where everyone wore hats and scarves, and bicycles were a thing.

We got an advent calendar for the cats this year with all sorts of cat toys in. One of them was a decorative collar. Schrödi was very interested in it so we put it on him.
He definitely knew he looked good in it and proudly posed for photos. He's so vain.

Politicians today just seem to want to divide society and set us against each other
What we need is a new kind of politics that unites us around something on which we can all agree.
That's why, on Monday I'll be launching the "Cats are obviously better than dogs" party.
Onwards together!
