Eh, I decided I'm just gonna voice my feelings about Mastodon rather than being indirect about it. Hopefully, people don't feel too offended.

Unfortunate reminder that tech interview processes are inherently broken and even the most talented developer you know is likely to not get to the offer stage a high percentage of the time.

Cuts to public services: £18 billion
Cuts to corporation tax: £18.7 billion
It's a direct trade-off: our pain for their profits

I'd been wanting to start up a new tech meetup in #Aberdeen; since COVID finished off @AberdeenPhp and set up @justweb_dev a while back to get started but I'm thinking now this might have a better use.
