Congrats on the launch!

I currently work on projects where HLDs are nothing more than brain dump / thought organising experiments just prior to getting some PoC code bashed out.

I usually go as far as paper -> draw.io which gets wildly out of date within weeks (which is fine for what I do / scale we work).

Had a little play with this, I like it. My gut is that for my use case it could strike that perfect balance of quick "brain dump" while providing me an interface to think in "PoC code" (actions / sending data).

I'm going to have a deeper look at this over the coming days and recreate one of our smaller, simpler systems (with which the "HLD" is already out of date).

Thank you for sharing. And of course the work required would be insane but hooking this up to implementation routes/controllers/services/whatever.

This is great. Thanks for sharing.

I've often wonder how the gamification of debt / saving could work.

Have you considered that at all?

Ah! I didn't know Sainsbury's owned Argos.

As we all know our high streets are failing hard, I always pictured (given big enough tax breaks) old/traditional high street companies (Curry's / House of Fraser etc...) would literally just have shop fronts much like Argos for click and collect with a smallish warehouse (but only order online) - entice punters into towns for click and collect while boosting smaller/local businesses (restaurants/coffee shops / boutiques etc...)

I have a feeling C19 has well and truly punched the nail in the high street coffin.

Given the number of Argos stores I always thought Amazon would have swept in 3-5 years ago and bought them as a step closer to "last mile delivery" in the UK.

Long time fastmail user. Has anyone here managed to automate the creation of aliases? I create a random alias address for every service I sign up to and those steps of creating that alias add a little bit of tediousness.

I've never experienced this myself directly. However I used to work at a company who now does this. I still have many silo'd friend groups at that company (who don't even know each other too well - designers/devs/sales) and the general consensus when I'm out with each group is that "it's a trap". There appears to be a negative vibe a kind of undertone where people will question others (to them selves not openly) and the hierarchy. Admittedly the trust was never great at this company but from my third party view point I would absolutely not like it. Culture would play a huge part though and unfortunately in this case the unlimited leave was a marketing/recruitment angle so was pretty much always set for failure.

Any online based computer game. GTA Online and Rocket League are two that spring to mind. The stuff we could create with that data!

I always remember when I first started surfing at the age of 10 in the North Sea. I was always sick and off from school with stomach bugs.

My anecdote is hardly scientific proof but this article certainly supports my thinking that I've now got a stronger stomach than most due to surfing at such a young age in terrible water conditions.

Over a period of a few years it just stopped and I was never ill again (after a surf)...apart from the dreaded and incredibly painful ear infections.
