Do you need to re-define indices and clear caches?...

This is very true.
Showing an ability to manage time/expectations and working with multiple levels within a client mean a lot, as does breadth of experience.
I guess it also depends on the type of roles you go for. If you're a Python coder, and there are a thousand of them going for...

Misty earlier on, but that has burned off, apart from in the valleys.
A pleasant long walk was had earlier. Looks like it could be another hot one today.

Just been watching “Over my dead body”. Is it bad that I thought it was a comedy, particularly at the end?
Now trying to dump heat out of the house - it’s 25C inside, 18C out now.

The flip side of that is that is that if you are a permanent employee of a company, they are expecting you to be giving them 37.5hr a week, Monday to Friday (or whatever the contract may specify) and if you are doing other work that prevents you from fulfilling that contract, they will want to know....

Nope, that reads like someone got AI to write it for them.
It used to be that contractors knew their agents, spoke to them, dealt with them, and got work that way.
When I read all this about "getting past an AI bot who is hoping you used the same AI bot to write your CV...

Kinda makes sense. There used to be cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs. The government would prefer people to have S&S ISAs, so they kept the limit at £20k for those. Cash ISAs are limited to £12k. It appears that some people were moving their cash into S&S to get round the £8k reduction,...

Up and out at 5:30 for a pleasant walk. it appears there may have been some light rain overnight, but no obvious signs in the garden.
Speaking of the garden, Harry the Hedgehog has returned - although he's hanging around near the front of the garden, so maybe it's not...
