we think about debugging as a technical skill (and it absolutely is!!) but a huge amount of it is managing your feelings so you don't get discouraged and being self-aware so you can recognize your incorrect assumptions

Pro tip for teenagers: study *something* space related. No matter what you know, no matter how good you are, the demand will be way higher than the supply. This is your early warning of a new evolutionary stage. Surf that wave. – at Rochester, South East

Reading this, I just feel that it's a side-effect of how complicated it is to get answers directly from HMRC dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/…

HMRC issues scam warning after nearly half a million fake tax rebates reported

Scammers are posing as HMRC and targeting Self Assessment customers.

So, was going for a test in the hospital tomorrow. Today they called me about the covid test swab I had to get last Sunday. They can't find the result, so they are likely to just cancel the appointment. Argh.

The good news is that they found the test result and as it was negative, I was able to do the exam without having to self-isolate my family again.

If you've asked for a refund to the payment card from @tapairportugal double-check it as I've just gotten a (to me) useless voucher instead of my money.

Simple way the NHS can save millions: if the appointment is to check on test results have someone check before the appointment that the GP has the test results.
