You have committed a murder. Which fictional detective are you crossing your fingers isn't on your case?
Columbo? Morse ? Sherlock? Who else?
“Evri suing BBC for £1.2m over Panorama segment after ‘serious financial loss’”
Willing to be called as a witness if the BBC needs any. Evri is so bad, they make Yodel look good.

A developer was almost in tears today when he learned that he should not have added tabindex=“0” to all the non-interactive text on the webpage. No, that doesn’t “help” screen reader users.
Please understand how assistive technology is supposed to work before helping it. Just read an article. Or ask an accessibility expert what to do.
The accessibility industry is so full of bad actors, it's genuinely painful. A flashy firm that spends all their money on branding got paid to 'remediate' my code and added a link element around several interactive elements. 🫠

To all those Americans who say "This isn't who we are" all I can say is holy shit read some fucking history. This is exactly who we are.

Do you have a Substack newsletter that you wish was NOT a Substack newsletter (for whatever reason)? I’ve just spent about six weeks learning how to overcome all the obstacles they put in the way of leaving and would love to help. Let’s talk.
Not to brag, but today I've mopped the bathroom floor and thrown the bathmats through the washer/drier, *and* made myself a proper meal. All despite waking up late with the cat punching me in the face for her food, and having zero energy because chronic illness and fatigue.
So, I might need a month off now.
Trying to log multiple technical issues on the work system. First, the email I replied to came back as “couldn’t deliver, mailbox full” (great work, support team!). Second, the Support AI started a conversation with me on Teams, but I was met with “We are experiencing some technical issues!!! Please try again after sometime!!!” (6 × exclamations, though… really?)
I’ll just sit here and wait.
We need punk rock and heavy metal now more than ever.

Currently waiting for a mandatory 2hr session about Agentic AI, enforced by my employer. Regardless of how long I’ve used such tools in my workflow on a personal level, I now have to tick all the company boxes.

Currently open to offers.
If you're on LinkedIn and are thinking about verifying your account with them, maybe read this first.
