Reacting testing and purchasing parity – notes from our meet up on 17th December 2025
Posted by Paul Silver
On the 17th December, 14 freelancers got together in the Battle of Trafalgar in Brighton to talk all things tech, self employment, Christmas and a lot of random stuff.
The notes are a bit light this week as I was very tired and focussed on chatting and forgot to note as much as usual.
- Trying to run Claude MCP in WSL
- Vite instead of Jest for React tests
- SSL key time length dropping to 45 days
- Coming up with event ideas
- Structuring work into two week blocks
- Realising a YouTube video is AI created after watching for too long
- Stopping yourself slumping
- Being hypnotised
- The excellent Dara Ó Briain comedy tour(s)
- Purchasing parity and why everyone feels worse off
- Go to gigs and events without knowing too much about the act(s)
