Tell me the bit of work you dread

There's usually one that eats a couple of hours a week. Send it over and I'll have a go at it, usually on a Thursday night, on camera.

I run a workshop most Thursdays at 8pm where I take a real problem someone has sent in and work through it live. No tidy demo: you get the wrong turns and whatever I'd actually do about it.

Not every problem gets picked, so I reply to all of them. Sometimes that's a couple of lines on how I'd approach it, sometimes it's a prompt you can paste straight in. Either way you get something back.

Anything you send me is fair game for the workshop, so please don't send anything confidential. I'll keep you anonymous unless you tell me otherwise.

It doesn't cost anything and there's no pitch at the end of it. I do it because the problems people send are more interesting than anything I'd invent, and they tend to be the same handful of jobs turning up in different businesses.

So I can reply. That's all it's used for unless you tick the box below.

A couple of lines is plenty. What it is, and what makes it annoying.

Leave it unticked and I'll keep you and your business out of it.
