Copilot by @github feels like magic 🪄
I've been using it quite a bit lately when jumping between Ruby, TypeScript, Swift & other languages.

If you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs, then you can’t run a startup without carefully blending egg yolks, oil and vinegar 👨🏻🍳

SaaS Twitter: how are you handling refunds?
Almost all of our churners are saying “sorry, forgot to cancel this month. Please can I have a refund?”
If it’s just bad planning on their part, and the terms cover you as a seller, should you refund just to keep them happy?

It's been really fun to be back building 🛠

I think pupils need to know numbers much bigger than 18. I’d say learn then all the way up to 50, at least…

Can’t be at #NIDC2022 in person today, unfortunately, but so glad they’re streaming some of the tracks!
Currently streaming @BoyleEamonn speaking about TypeScript 🙌
@NIDevConf
ALT NIDC stream on the TV, a sword-brandishing 4-year-old in the foreground, and a 4-month-old on the baby video monitor
Getting back to some iOS projects after a long time away from Xcode.
Is this the best solution to the old problem of previously needing to commit build numbers so that CI builds aren’t rejected by App Store Connect?

Listening to Kwasi Kwarteng on #r4today reminds me of something that most startup founders know:
If you believe you make no mistakes then you guarantee failure. Never believe you are, or strive to be, a ‘clever person’

It's often hard to justify slowing the pace at which you ship features, especially to others internally within your company. But I've found it always pays off in the long run to:
📅 plan the rollout
🗣️ get customer feedback
🛠️ write tests
⚙️ refactor

I think I’ve been working for startups for too long.
I just made dinner for my 4-year-old and during sausage negotiations I told him he has an option on a sausage but it vests over 4 green beans with a 1 bean cliff.

This is terrible news. @IgniteNI's programmes have done so much for Northern Irish startups and the economy that surrounds them.
I couldn't have started Gratsi without the support of @IgniteNI & @InvestNI and I'm sad that others will now miss out on the opportunity I had.

As always, @ij_browne sums it up very well in this thread:

In 2018 - just 4 years ago - the startup ecosystem in Northern Ireland was struggling. We had the worst performing region in the UK. A poor startup creation rate, no scaling companies, a lack of venture funding & lowly ambitions
