Let me introduce myself; my name is Marcus Povey, and I\u2019m a software developer / full stack software engineer currently based in Europe. My clients include software houses, financial and governmental institutions, news agencies, and companies both large and small.\n\n\n\nI have helped build life saving medical software, secure messaging systems, high performance video platforms, and Open Source projects used around the world.\n\n\n\nMost recently, I\u2019ve been heading up a team of skilled software engineers developing software to facilitate and deliver cutting edge science across Europe, primarily in the fields of structural biology. I collaborate with some of the most important centres of scientific excellence, across Europe and beyond. I am involved in some of the most important and large scale EU Open Access projects developing new ways to access and reuse scientific research, including helping with the response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. I have spoken at large scale scientific conferences, and have helped shape EU data sharing policy.\n\n\n\nPreviously, I was the technical lead on the Elgg project, an Open Source social networking platform. This software is used by companies, universities and governments around the world to improve the efficiency of communication both internally and externally. I am also involved in the development of the Known platform, a modern social publishing platform that incorporates many Indieweb technologies.\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re interested in knowing more about my professional experience, you can check out my resume. I am also available to hire!\n\n\n\n\u00bb Work with me!\nOutside of my professional life, I am passionate about travel. I live a fairly nomadic existence, and am always interested in exploring and living somewhere new.\u00a0\n\n\n\nI also collect hobbies like precious shinies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRight now I am training a number of martial arts (currently Judo, Capoeira, Boxing, Muay Thai and Krav Maga), I enjoy rock music, power lifting, archery, black smithing, I climb when I can, ride motorcycles, and pilot light aircraft.\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s go!",

But when I look back at all the links I\u2019ve bookmarked the vibe is much more enthusiastic, like I\u2019m excitedly pointing at something and saying \u201cCheck this out!\u201d I feel like sentiment analyses of those two sections of my site would yield two different results.\n\n\nMy journal entries have been even more specifically negative of late. I\u2019ve been bitchin\u2019 and moanin\u2019 about web browsers. But at least I\u2019m an equal-opportunities bitcher and moaner.\n\n\nMozilla, I complained about your Facebook Container extension for Firefox.\n\nApple, I complained about the ridiculous way Safari\u2019s update cycle is tied to operating system.\n\nGoogle, I complained about the way a breaking change was rolled out in Chrome (and the implications for future breaking changes).\n\nMicrosoft, you got off lightly. But please consider any of my criticisms of Chrome to apply to Edge too, seeing as they\u2019re basically the same now.\nI wish my journal weren\u2019t so negative, but my mithering behaviour has been been encouraged. On more than one occasion, someone I know at a browser company has taken me aside to let me know that I should blog about any complaints I might have with their browser. It sounds counterintuitive, I know. But these blog posts can give engineers some ammunition to get those issues prioritised and fixed.\n\nSo my message to you is this: if there\u2019s something about a web browser that you\u2019re not happy with (or, indeed, if there\u2019s something you\u2019re really happy with), take the time to write it down and publish it.\n\nPublish it on your website. You could post your gripes on Twitter but whinging on Jack\u2019s website is just pissing in the wind.
