    I spent the morning judging a hackathon of 5 teams of 12-14yo German kids (all presenting in German) and it was seriously the most stressful thing Iโ€™ve had to do since moving to Europe. I literally had nightmares about them wincing at my mangled grammar when asking them questions. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    @alex_casalboni Oh no! I hadn’t realised. Hope recovery is swift…

    Blog post! It’s time to start documenting our 2022 travel. First up was my solo trip to Seattle in February, where I finally got to visit the Amazon Spheres. https://t.co/KQaFMn7KhZ https://t.co/KTnSGxUTHd


    Another blog post! I also documented our weekend in Madrid eating tapas and checking out art in early March. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

    Removing Twitter/Tweetbot from my Home Screen has definitely reduced how often I open it. I donโ€™t start the day by doomscrolling. I do miss all of you a bit, but this feels good.


    Meanwhile, we caught up on Better Call Saul. My heart. ๐Ÿ’” That is the most beautiful show, even when itโ€™s showing something tragic and terrible. Give Vince and his team and all the actors all the awards.


    @paultook Right now Iโ€™d say itโ€™s as good. It benefits from our knowledge of BB, but not in a gimmicky fanservice way. I appreciate that.


    @paultook Except it raises as many questions as it answers!!

    Iโ€™ve removed Twitter (well, Tweetbot because official Twitter sucks) from my phone Home Screen and laptop bookmarks in an effort to begin the weaning process. Iโ€™ll probably end up using it just for work stuff. Itโ€™s probably a good thing ultimately, but I still resent it.


    RT @awsdevelopers: ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Did you know you can attend the summits across Europe without leaving home? Build On X is a new series streamed liveโ€ฆ


    @gordon_j Just not a fan of that person and donโ€™t wish to support anything heโ€™s a part of.
