A bit political. Not fond of nationalism in any form but extremely depressed with the current path of the UK therefore open to options. Very pro-EU. UK and Irish citizen, living in Scotland since 2000. Knows a bit about energy, both renewables and fossil fuel. Does Human Factors for a living. Will toot on radio and trash television programmes.

A public service announcement with an expiration date: if you've loved my writing and science, I have a book proposal+sample chapter out on submission right now. The pitch is "The Psychology of Software Teams": a general audience, warmly human, accessible book for teams, leaders, and curious minds, filled to the brim with practitioner stories AND the new empirical social science of technology innovation. 🙌❤️

Let me know if you know editors who might be interested in this uniquely cool project.

@grimalkina I am a human factors professional . Your book would be one I would read.

@grimalkina You are welcome but my comment is not motivated by kindness. You are writing about an area where mistakes can be costly and disastrous. Unlike most human factor where the challenge is reducing risk of folk getting things wrong despite their best efforts, IT faces the additional challenge of bad actors actively trying to undermine their products and steal their IP. Please do write this book.

@mt @bynkii @grimalkina I work in an industry where if we get things profoundly wrong thousands could die. Probably wouldn’t happen but worst case scenario. Take down multiple energy and logistics networks and my business pales into insignificance. But this is the endgame. It begins with the team and the individual’s role and attitudes. With leadership, that sets the culture. Often the short term company interest is to promote unsafe behaviour.

Our solar panels generated 27.3 kWh today - that's a lot for April! 😮

@yunod thank you! Heating water is a big thing. Sometimes I am torn between PV and a thermal solar system.
