And famously, the economy never changes course. Something, something, stocks always go up.

I editorialized the title to include the version range of compromised packages for visibility.
Also, worth mentioning that TeamPCP denies involvement, and instead points to a copycat using their name: https://xcancel.com/tradelots/status/2046928328066543832

No, the GDS should definitely replace all services on gov.uk to be only accessible via MCP. "Claude, I've logged into PayPal via oAuth, now renew my passport" /s

Chris McCausland is great. A fair bit of his material _does_ reference his visual impairment, but it's genuinely witty and sharp, and it never feels like he's leaning on it for laughs/relying on sympathy.
He did a great skit with Lee Mack at the BAFTAs 2022[0], riffing on the autocue the speakers use for announcing awards.

In Exeter[1], we still have roughly 70% of our Roman wall[2], and there is even a pedestrian footbridge over a road where part of the "bridge" involves walking along the top of the wall's remains.

Have you given Hyperdrive[0] a try? In theory, it should improve performance in your use case where you have a central database (Railway) being connected to from the Edge (your Workers).
It moves the DB connection logic closer to your Workers, pools connections, and can also cache queries.
(Disclaimer: I work for Cloudflare, but on an unrelated team. Not personally used Hyperdrive, but heard good things!)

Awesome, great job on the site! I saw it on the Slack, and was surprised at the level of detail in some of the pages like the tooth selection screen :D
It also got a good chuckle from those I shared it with at work! :)
