I use an app called WeatherRadar - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/weather-radar-storm-alerts/id545993260

It shows cloud cover as well as rainfall, and also has a few other views I don’t use. But what I really like is the iOS home screen widget, which shows me my local weather even when I’m not actively looking at it.

Do you own a trampoline?

If not, there’s every chance that you will by the end of the day.

And if you own one already, it’s about to be donated to one of your lucky neighbours.

I got my first programming job in 1996. I still have days like this.

Today, I had a conversation with my boss about an apprentice in our team. Our senior front-end dev left a few months ago, and the apprentice has had to take on a lot of work with little guidance. Our team is very full of back-end devs with no front-end experience. During this conversation, we described our apprentice as “extremely capable but lacking experience”, and discussed the best way of getting him more experience. The conclusion we came to is that there is no shortcut here, but having good guidance from senior devs can help somewhat.

What I’m trying say here is that what you’re describing is absolutely normal, and based on what you’ve said, you’re doing fine. You have a little imposter syndrome, which seems worse than it is because of your genuine lack of experience… that experience will come with time, and days like today are the days where you learn a load from your mistakes. You’ll probably not hard-code things like that in future, and today you gained a tiny bit of that experience that you need - well done!

Where can I get one? I never knew I needed this so much...

I'm not sure about Max. Obviously this season is different, but in the past, I've always viewed him as someone who has excellent situational awareness - but slightly less honed risk management. But I don't think his situational awareness has ever been in question, only his risk management.

If RBR somehow screw up their car, and Max has to start really fighting again, I suspect we'd see far fewer incidents than a couple of years ago, because by then not only will he be older and wiser, but also because he's now proven himself to be one of the greatest of all time (and I say that as someone who is not a fan of Max, I just think it's objectively true), so there won't be any need to take the kinds of risks he used to take in the past.

I think the point made in the headlines is pretty obvious. There's no benefit in being agressive when you're so much faster than everyone else.

I agree that the other point is more interesting. Especially the fact that those drivers he don't feel so comfortable going against, it's not because they're agressive, but becdause they don't (yet?) have the spacial awareness.

Got a verbal offer of a new job last night. Hopefully today I'll receive the contract, then I can hand my notice in!
