It's been a great couple of days so far at #perfnow, only one talk to go! The speakers are at the top of their game, as are our MCs, clocks and geography not withstanding. My little brain is overflowing.

Interesting to see @timvereecke.bsky.social showing Scalemates performance figures in BigQuery, or as I like to call it "Vereecke in the sheets..." #perfnow

#perfnow question for Ines, I noticed you didn't mention prefers-reduced-data do you think it will get traction?

30.10.2025 14:21 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

#perfnow question for Ines: Most of the focus (including reporting) seems to be origin or network, less on Scope 3 emissions. Do you see that improving?

#perfnow another question for Marcy: there are a lot of lawsuits in the US around accessibility, some seem vexatious. Do you think they are helpful?

#perfnow question for Marcy: is the web getting more or less accessible?

I feel committed to my tiny keyboard, but sometimes I wonder if I'm making life too hard!

Question for Tammy, lots of people are using ChatGPT for research but also now execute tasks, and it's typically not quick. Do you think we sometimes emphasise speed over usefulness? #perfnow

Holiday in beautiful Plockton. Recovering from a cold, sticking to #zone2 #trailrunning #running YouTube video by Stuart McMillan

We're on holiday in Plockton, on the west coast of Scotland. It's been a great week with a couple of runs so far. I'm still getting over a really bad cold, but apart from that loving life! #trailrunning youtube.com/shorts/s5k3Q...

Storm Amy forced a change of plans for this weekend, so instead of heading to the West Highland Way I decided to do a long (and slow) local route. Furthest I've run for 9 weeks and I could tell by the end! #trailrunning

Beautiful day here in Fife, Scotland. Felt great to have a Type 1 fun run, before a full day of DIY. #trailrunning #running

I love the light we get at this time of year. Just wish I had shot this a bit slower and for longer

A healthy (mentally and physically) dad is good for the family. Also, great to be a healthy role model for the kids.

We're just back from Chamonix, my first time in 18 years and first time with trail running shoes. And I'm happy to say I'm fitter now than I was 18 years ago. #trailrunning #running #chamonix youtu.be/399mSeALY-E
