@jonpither have you given up your career as a technologist and consultant and gone into journalism? 😉

jonpither10:11:18

@agile_geek not quite, but that does sound rather pleasant

agile_geek10:11:18

@jonpither I'm expecting a "How Clojure powered Brexit" article next 😀

jonpither10:11:50

not sure that would show Clojure in a good light tho

jonpither10:11:47

(declare brexit) (def brexit brexit)

kevin4211:11:34

Anyone working at uSwitch here?

thomas12:11:42

as long as brexit won't have any side effects.....

reborg12:11:37

hello kevin42

kevin4212:11:22

hey reborg I suppose you’re working for uSwitch

reborg12:11:49

correct 🙂 available for questions here or private chat

thomas12:11:46

just looked at the news paper in the UK.... more fun to be had by the looks of it...

thomas12:11:18

a pro-brexit tory MP triggering a by-election. how much weirder can it get?

jonpither12:11:09

@thomas such a mess. It's a bit like trying to refacor a monolith and getting it wrong

thomas12:11:31

@jonpither yes... it seems to be a mess of Titanic proportions.

rickmoynihan13:11:28

@jonpither: @malcolmsparks: Thanks for writing the article on us btw - it’s an honor to have been included on your list 🙂

korny13:11:08

@jonpither so we should split it into micro-countries first?

Rachel Westmacott13:11:28

I think a lot of people in Scotland and Northern Ireland would go for that

Rachel Westmacott13:11:50

and leave us to have our ‘Full English Brexit’ without them

thomas13:11:23

hence my point that Ukip should have been called "the real SNP" as Ukip will have been more successful in Scottish independence than the SNP

jonpither13:11:51

Too many layers of abstraction. Look at Wales for example: the local authority, the welsh assembly, uk parlament, house of lords then the eu.

jonpither13:11:22

^no real opinion but from a software perspective world juristictions are unwieldly

thomas14:11:26

I guess it is a legacy system that goes back at last 950 years. (I am taking the battle of Hastings here as an semi-arbitrary point)

jonpither15:11:35

Empires are kind of like rewrites but we dont have them anymore

korny16:11:56

Revolutions are rewrites - and we have had them here, but not for a while. The big-bang rewrite in France put people off that sort of change...

otfrom16:11:09

korny revolutions just seem to re-write the UI. Still a big pile of :poop: underneath

jonpither16:11:03

Like going from scrum to XP
