  • Cheers, hope you have/are having a good weekend too. I’m intrigued by your shipping containers. Are you getting something delivered, shipping something or doing something interesting with the containers themselves?

    Funnily enough I live about a 15 minute drive from Stockport, I’m happy to report we’re currently having our one weekend of sun for the year.






  • Tbh, I was more thinking about the $2600/m guy at the end when I posted that, rather than the comparatively more economical situations.

    Assuming he also needs to pay a not-insignificant amount on insurance, (maybe) road tax and definitely fuel on top of that—surely that can’t be economical unless he’s driving many hours a day, every day.

    It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

    Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.
