After a lifetime of working for enterprise level companies in software development, I can only concur.

I can’t comprehend the stupidity of the people who proposed, programmed, and signed off on this. Do they WANT to destroy any remaining trust people have in Google?

Last day in the lakes, so last watercolour - this time from Whitehaven near the harbour. This is so much harder than the pen drawings that I’m used to doing! #watercolour #pleinair I’m not going to blame my tools, but I’ve definitely had some difficulties with the paint/mixer/brush that I’ve got.

@bsky.app do you keep track of a wishlist of customer requests? I’d love it if you could add a feature to mute ’retweets’ from a person. Occasionally someone I follow is really interesting, but retweets things I would rather not see. Rather than mute or unfollow the whole account selective muting?

Today’s watercolour art experiment is a pile of logs up in Whinlatter Forest, on one of the walks. I was standing by Bob’s Seat which commanding countryside views - but I was taken by the logs! #watercolour #pleinair
