I believe in inclusivity, openness, outwardness, a forward thinking future for all.

Brexit is the opposite of that.

The entire referendum was propagated by manipulating social networks for spreading targeted misinformation paid for by unknown foreign actors. What might not be obvious to those outside the UK, is that most mainstream media providers have all sewn an anti-immigration narrative for several years broadcasting radial right-wing opinions rather than fact based news. Factual misinformation has been promoted without question.

Democracy is an ongoing basis, to treat a non-binding referendum as binding and not give the public the change to reflect based on new information and instead use a flawed vote as a mandate to pursue the worst flavour of Brexit is just madness.

European citizenship is about being part of something greater than just the sum of my own nationality. While the EU is not by any means perfect, it stands as a triumph of human political achievement.

We are better off together than we are alone.

Fortunately I was able to personally retain my freedom of movement and European citizenship due to holding dual citizenship with the UK and Ireland.

So many companies now days forget that the two-way relationship that exists between client and worker. Weather that worker be an employee, freelancer or contractor worker;they pick the client as much as the client picks them. When they fail to realize this, it usually results in them being demand and expectant of you;in return for nothing. They won’t pitch to you as to why you should not work for them, another client, or their competitor.

As your career and level of experience grow, picking the right client becomes essential. Not only will there be demand for your particular skill set, which necessitates you choosing who to work for, but working for the wrong client can be so disastrous for you as well as the client.

Consumers install beta quality test software, normally intended for developers, and then have a poor first-impression, and often get stuck with technical issues, then blame the company for releasing ‘bad’ software - regardless of what the final product is like.

Considering the warnings and notices given during the download process I find it strange that many users get so angry and surprised when the beta software is crashy and unreliable.
