How did I not know until today, that Sunderland's old 'North Dock', now Roker Marina, was designed by the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunell?
Thought I knew all there is to know about the place I call 'home', then I learn that this Victorian legend had a hand in shaping our city.

Worthy Read: The Two Traits of the Best Problem-Solving Teams by Alison Reynolds and David Lewis

After being on the job market for close to 3 months now, it's with a sigh of relief and a rush of excitement I can finally see the full-time occupation of doing job interviews to an end.
Starting gently now in June, and full-time in September, I'm joining Ludenso as VP of Platform Engineering!
It's been a wild and educational ride, and I've met with so many interesting companies, but in the end, I chose to go with Ludenso for the ability it gives me to improve the fields of teaching and learning – especially in the classroom. Having a daughter who says she hates school is naturally a strong, personal motivation.
It's been a long time since I was as enthusiastic about work as I am now. I'm eagerly looking forward to the adventure this surely is going to be!

I really think I would have benefited from a class on understanding and applying standards in my undergraduate engineering degree.
I know not everyone doing an engineering degree is actually planning to be a professional engineer, but “how to know what the requirements are so that you design things so that are legal” seems like something that really should be addressed.
Tech companies end up in the headlines for the wrong reasons:
Data breaches, algorithm misfires, training sets that aren’t diverse enough, interfaces that exclude.

The Falkirk Wheel. This astonishing piece of engineering celebrates its 21st birthday this Saturday. The only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world, it allows boats and barges on the Forth and Clyde Canal to continue their journey along the Union Canal - 24m above and on toward #Edinburgh
It takes just 22.5 kilowatts (kW) to power the electric motors, which consume just 1.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy in four minutes, roughly the same as boiling eight kettles of water.
"Students about to enter engineering colleges usually select one or another of the major branches and then after graduating begin to specialize. But infrequently Fate has much to do with this specialization, since after leaving college the average young engineer will turn to the nearest or most promising vacancy offered him in his chosen field—a major branch—and in the work eventually become expert and a specialist."

I had Covid-19 a couple of months ago for the first time, and while in my recovery state, I started watching Grey's Anatomy, which my friends have had a lot of fun teasing me about. I'm still going through it now (there are a lot of seasons), and it only just struck me this morning why I might still be guilty-pleasure watching it... The hospital is a lot like IT engineering groups. There are those that show empathy for the patients (users) than others. There are those that are almost single-mindedly focussed on the deep technical challenges (jargon, processes). There are those that take risks and are celebrated when they succeed. And, there's the need for being on-call and responding with calm in emergency situations. The list goes on... I guess I'm enjoying it as a parallel to the work that I've done for many years and the types of engineers I saw. (Note that I'm not comparing saving lives through tricky brain surgery as equal to ensuring that mail servers are running smoothly). It makes me ponder what each industry could learn from the other. One is that there appears to be a systemic and formalised path for juniors (interns) to be taught and grown to higher skill levels. I've done a lot of mentoring in my IT career, but I don't think it's nearly as common as it should be. #medical #engineering #sre #greysanatomy
