Tickets need to exist purely from a governance perspective.

Tickets may well not look like they do now, but some semblance of them will exist. I'm sure someone is building that right now.

No. It's not Jira.

Yes, so my point is that PRs act as that governance layer - with preview environments, you can see the complexity and risk of the change etc.

Scratch that one off the ideas list I'll never get around to!

It's an obvious idea, well executed!

There were conversations in the team yesterday about how Cursor's cloud agents are still ahead of Claude from a UX perspective.

Obviously we're running both, using the right tool for the job.

There is stickiness there from being early. That will be hard to replicate.

So the classic build vs buy question

The fact you're asking is great.

Having a similar story, I can tell you the the answer is not to try and fill that hole with someone else until you've worked out who you are, and what you really want.

You're not the person that you were when you moved out of your parents, and you need to work out what is "you" vs what was "us".

Don't rush to the next stage of your life. Live in the discomfort you are feeling and find out what quietens it. Easier said than done, I know.

Believe it or not there are those if us in Tech who crave that human connection.

Things that I've tried:

* Salsa was mentioned somewhere else, that's amazing to meet people, laugh at yourself, and learn a skill

* Walk the dog without earphones. It's amazing how dog walkers will give that knowing smile to each other. Lean into that. Say a hi, and ask about their dog. Simple, but if you're walking the same time every day you'll soon be chatting.

* Go and exist somewhere. The coffee house etc (I avoid bars, though I like a drink, as ironically lonely bar people are not the inspirational people I seek), just be there. I get that these are the 3rd places.

* Go to events (plays, theatre, cultural places). Turn up early, smile and say hi to random people. You've got an in there as you're there for a specific reason. Do a bit of research prior.

* Try a few different gyms. The vibe is different in every one. Be there longer than your workout.

* To the above, when you go places, be there early, don't rush off.

* If you can get yourself in to the tech leaders round table style dinners (8-10 people), you'll very quickly find interesting like minded individuals. You may have to commit to travel a bit to do this. Not sure how that works with the dog for you.

Things I've tried and don't work

* The random meetups. Unless they are focused on something you can all relate to (i.e. board games etc).

* Pubs / bars as above

* Professional networking events with over 20 people. That's just hustling.

If you want to just chat shit, or say hi to a human, feel free to reach out. I'm sure it would be good for both of us!

On the Gboard keyboard. Without fail.

But that's a different issue.

Happens to me all the time trying to type a search phrase in Safari in iPhone for some reason.

When you’re trying to type a URL there’s a period next to the space bar where your right thumb usually hits space, but if you’re just texting iOS won’t show that. That’s my theory, just muscle memory.

someone will cry if you lose money or data.. the rest.. vibe code away!

Hopefully we'll get some real focus on making LLMs work amazingly well with limited hardware.. the knock on effect of that would be amazing when the hardware eventually drops in price.

You also have to be so exact..

Literally just searched for something, slight typo.

A Vs B type request. Search request comes back with "sorry, no information relevant to your search".

Search results are just a spammy mess.

Correct the typo and you get a really good insight.
