We keep giving AI the fun jobs (coding, writing, making art) while we are stuck with the shit jobs (laundry, code reviews, resolving merge conflicts) what a disaster

This has been a challenging talk to write, but I've been loving every second and I can't wait to step on stage to share it with you all!

One of the cool things about being a grown up is doing childish things, like having pizza for breakfast at a conference @ndcconferences.com

Another queen with a self quote 😍 Gonna have to do this in my next talk 💪 @luckygirliegirl.bsky.social @ndcconferences.com

Yess queen, love a good self-quote 😍 "Prompting is AI's way of letting your know how sloppy your requirements are" @noctovis.bsky.social @ndcconferences.com

Much needed reality check at @ndcconferences.com Oslo opening keynote. Laila Bougria (@noctovis.bsky.social) explaining coding vs production grade software and how AI fits into that I'm fangirling hard 😍😍

Thanks for coming, really enjoyed your talk and lovely to meet you!

Tech bros Do not greet your colleagues first thing in the morning with "You look tired" Of course I am tired, I am tired of your shit Think before you speak to another human

Another OSS going commercial. It's light on specifics tho Will be interesting to see how this plays out www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a...

It's amazing how many women love lifting weights and being strong once they get over the social programming of needing to be dainty. It's an act of rebellion in and of itself

Beer with lunch at @cloudbrew.be because you can't hold a conf in a brewery and not serve beer! @itsrene.nl

Today at a tech conference a man asked me what I weigh. Just came out and asked it! And it was totally fine because he is a fellow powerlifter and we were discussing our best lifts Context matters Nothing is "good" or "bad". There is appropriate for the context and inappropriate for the context

It is time for www.cloudbrew.be w. great friends! #Azure #cloud #community #mvpbuzz @noctovis.bsky.social @rikhepworth.com @97adele.bsky.social @djohnnie.joho.me @stack72.dev @alexandair.bsky.social @ba.4bes.nl @samvanhoutte.net @denniedeclercq.bsky.social @joonasw.net

I have short legs, so the temptation is to lower the seat Rookie mistake The goal is to train the rear deltoid. So the handles are best at shoulder height. This counterintuitively means the seat at max with a pad on top! Don't sacrifice your goals to fit the tools. Make the tools fit your goals.

Just because something is ubiquitous doesn't mean that it is simple or easy. Some examples: - Mobile applications - The web - Periods

At 37, as a "tomboy" engineer that lifts weights, I am finally embracing the fact that pink is the best colour. So I dyed my hair. I have shunned pink my whole life as "too girly". Maybe it's just girly because we have better taste? Internalised misogyny can come in the wildest forms

Sooo excited for NDC Melbourne! The speaker line up is SOLID. Can't believe I made the cut to be tagged in this post to be honest 😅

Lap dog (noun): an employee, normally in middle management, who gets carried around, is in all the meetings, is pampered, but has no balls and no power

Sessionize feature idea You submit a talk to a CFP A dialog appears Are you sure you want to submit? 200 submitted abstracts already begin with "in the ever evolving landscape of X" PCs rejoice

Romanian Deadlifts I find these really challenging as I have limited mobility in my hips I kept going, building my strength with "ugly" reps Finally after 3 years they look good 100kg for 7 reps You can make a tonne of progress with ugly. Don't let it stop you. Applies to software as well ;)

It's kinda nice to "start over" on a new social platform. On twitter I mostly binge-posted from tech conferences. I keep my IG for my lifting stuff. But on Bluesky do you want to see the lifting stuff too?

The perfect speaker feedback doesn't exi...

Can anyone top this for most unusual reason for a plane crash?

Gonna smugly tap this sign and thank y'all for finally joining me 😅😅❤️❤️

Amazing article from Holly Cummins. Loved every word. Also a nice time to remind everyone that "unisex" tech shirts are just code for "men's but we don't want the women to get mad"

As I get older, i am finding out that it is possible to be friends with people you deeply disagree with. Like people who believe that JavaScript belongs on the server. If you put in the work, and value the friendship, it's amazing what differences can be put aside

I literally just uttered the phrase: "I'm a bit old school in how I use AI" This world is moving fast 😅

My talk Mayday Mark 2! from @devoxx.bsky.social is already online 😍 Really proud of this talk, I hope you enjoy it! The discerning devoxx audience seemed to like it too, giving it a 4.3/5 😁 youtu.be/Y9Ifp1ngqmQ?...

"how did we get here" on a laptop, since the projector is broken. Poetic. Tomaz and Enrico are doing great though 💪💪

Got my own movie poster at Techorama NL. Super cool!!

😅😅

Heading home from an awesome few days in Oslo for JavaZone. My talk was well attended and I got some nice feedback. Hopefully I am invited back next year! @javazone.bsky.social
