Focus on the substance of your CV, rather than these "get job quick" schemes. Instead of wasting time making your resumé "ATS-friendly", make it more appealing to the poor schmuck (i.e. me) who has to read hundreds of them 🙏

I am extremely disappointed when sw engineers keep promoting "ATS friendly tools" when "ATS friendly" is a hoax, entirely made up by a shady industry. In tech companies, no one uses ATSes for resume scans. Esp disappointed when I point this out, and the promotion continues.

Cloudflare’s Supercloud feels like what I/we thought AWS’ serverless will become but never did. Definitely, a breath of fresh air. blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-the…

My fool godson, William, went down to the basement to get a snack four days ago I told him--every time I tell him--to COUNT the stairs as he goes down. There's only 12. If it goes to 13, come back up and try again. And don't follow the thing singing down there But does he listen?

Really important advice for my friends here in the US. Loads of adverts (especially on YouTube for some reason) promise free solar. If it seems to good to be true...

“Free solar panels” sounds too good to be true, right? Unfortunately, we’re here to say yes. It is usually masking a payment system that will end up costing more than paying for a home solar with a loan. hubs.li/Q01rYgpR0 #EnergySage #Solar

@simonwaight I cracked it. Flash of inspiration. It's from a track called "music sounds better with you", by Stardust. So relieved now! 😆

It's driving me nuts. What is the song sampled in the background of the new Gorillaz track? Particularly noticeable at around the 2:30 mark: youtu.be/24tFMeloa18?t=… Answers on a postcard please.

@simonwaight Could be, could be... I was thinking something older, but it's a lead I can chase down. Thanks!

Every election in the UK since returning from Aus makes me sad. Mainly because our voting system always means voting against the worst, rather than voting *for* the best. But also because of a distinct lack of democracy sausages.
