I know it will irk some of you that some of us have Threads accounts.

The reason I do legal commentary is that I think promoting the public understanding of law is a good thing.

As such the wider reach the better - a public good.

I am sorry to irk.

The goal is always the same โ€” destroy public services so the only viable options are private ones with connections to the government in power.

IMO as a developer, when you start saying โ€œwhy should I learn all this new stuff to do my jobโ€ it is a sign that your days doing this work are numbered.

@grmpyprogrammer unless you are prepared to commit to lifelong learning isnโ€™t the career for you.
If you are not prepared to make your IT a learning organisation, save yourself grief and donโ€™t startup.
