What I'm doing right now...

My blog talks a little about some of my interests and happenings, but doesn't describe what I'm actually doing day-to-day. I aim to update this page relatively frequently to tell you what I'm currently up to in and outside of work.

• Our son is almost a year old, and he continues to be the best person ever and the best thing that's ever happened to me and my wife.
• Meeting up with local friends a lot more often for pub trips, which is something I was out of practice with - this has been a huge mental health boost.
• Continuing to focus on developer experience at work, with a particular focus on new generative AI tools and workflows.
• Still travelling a lot with work, I tend to be in Amsterdam every 3 weeks or so, with occasional stops in Manchester or London.
• Recently splashed out on an M4 Max MacBook Pro, which I'm using to write this on a Sunday morning.
• Still hatching plans to build a home server that does a little more than file storage, but for that I need to build something - I haven't done that for a while!
• Not doing a very good job of posting at all on Mastodon, mostly lurking and reading these days.
• Planning in the next few weeks to clear out the garage, which would allow me a bit of space to look for a project car again, something I haven't had since the Land Rover was stolen.
• Finished the Zelda games on the Switch for now, I'm back onto the Xbox Series X and playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
• Somehow, I'm still reading the Staff Engineer's Path by Tanya Reilly, trying to find a little bit of time to finish it as I've already learnt a lot.
