I just got encouraged to re-submit my conference talks instead of creating new ones per conference. :mindblown

I am very doubtful this is QAs fault. This seems like a scapegoat was needed. forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/thread...

DJI Neo is such a nice and cool drone. Quick to deploy and use. Good enough videos and well thought out default modes. Drawbacks are the noise (very loud), no SD slot and no collision sensors. Probably one of the best beginner, vlogger drones currently on the market.

I’ve been experimenting with speech-to-text tools like Wispr Flow, then feeding the transcript into ChatGPT for cleanup. Works well for turning messy spoken thoughts into clear writing.

Me: What does a senior sales engineer do? ChatGPT: Imagine you’re helping a friend sell a really cool, super-complicated toy robot. The people who might buy it don’t really understand how it works.

The edge of a phone falling on your face is pretty painful.

One of the best things about the Netherlands: „We only take card.“

It is ridiculous how easy it is to build AI agents. The longest task was actually getting the authentication for the GitHub app to properly work. Now it is just a matter of using the right models and I will have a blog post agent that reviews my posts and helps me keeping them up to date.

This is pretty mesmerizing tbh. v0.dev/chat/slack-r...

Obsidian Bases is such a great feature

I’ve used AI agents extensively for software development, and as AI agent workloads keep growing, E2E and visual regression tests are more important than ever.

Kicking off Vercel‘s Ship party in Düsseldorf by welcoming our guests in the blazing sun ☀️ #EinerMussEsJaMachen

Going from a Sovol SV06 to a Prusa CORE One is like day and night. So much faster.

@Apple I bought a high-capacity iPhone because I don’t want to have too many optimized images and videos. Please tell me why I have 800 GB free space and only 24 GB is taken by the Photos app? This should be closer to 100 GB free space. And please allow us to set limits ourself.

Japanese Shinkansen is wildly efficient. Train arrives at 09:04. Everyone that needs to get off is off by 09:05. Then everyone boards within 1 minute and the train departs on time at 09:06.

„How good is your English?“ I am learning Japanese based on an English audioguide. 😅

API first. Everything else will follow.

Shift-Esc is the shortcut in Slack that keeps giving. It marks all unread messages as read.

What is everyone doing with old talks they are not going to do again on stage or that did not get accepted to a conference? Write it out as a blog article? Record it as a video and upload to YouTube?

Waking up at 4 to go to the airport is not nice. Not recommended.

The Duality of Apple: FaceTime screen sharing with remote control? Absolute GOAT. Apple Intelligence summaries? Absolute nope.

You can’t have enough backpacks.

I am adding Open Graph / Metadata of a website to my eternal list of the greatest software engineering challenges: - Caching invalidation - Timezone handling - Naming

Companies that ignored cloud adoption, dismissed mobile-first, or delayed digital transformation all got left behind. AI is the next wave. Don’t make the same mistake again.

It is very fascinating that the AI has realized its mistake and revised its answer. However, it would be better if it did not make that mistake in the first place

I just used @v0.dev to vibe code a Bluesky feed reader to my website www.yiminyang.dev/thoughts in 2 hours. What took the most time was the styling aka fiddling around with Tailwinds prose class which is too generous with margins IMHO.

The only right date format in any written communication that is in any way with people from other countries is ISO 8601.

After the Studio Ghibli hype we now have the action figure hype.

It is wild that in 2025 audio conferencing is still so bad. Discord is the goat.

Finally fixed the layout shift in my nav menu. Root cause? The scrollbar. Hiding it with tailwind-scrollbar did the trick, way easier than any other workaround I tried.

I think there is a global conspiracy where companies intentionally are incapable of treating a first name with a space properly. If I put my first name „Yi Min“ into a field then you are not supposed to merge it with my last name and split by the first space character to get „Yi“ and „Min Yang“.

The result of late night doom-scrolling: two songs that now live rent-free in my head. Anaking vs Obi-Wan but it's a musical: youtu.be/d9OmUsV-gh0?... Council of Elrond but it's a musical youtu.be/boS3WJ7lxJM?...

This is great and needs to be said more often. nohello.net/en/

Path of Exile 2 disconnects got so bad that I started to play Old School RuneEscape.

Now that the holidays are over it is time to go through all emails and start unsubscribing from all the marketing emails. Cool little trick is to search emails for "Unsubscribe". Makes it super easy.

Waking up on a Sunday with all Zigbee devices not working is not the kind of Sunday I want to have. The auto-update of my zigbee2mqtt to the latest version broke the whole setup. The latest dev branch has a fix though. Lesson learned: no auto-update for critical systems. Happy Sunday!

Last conference of the year: @reactdayberlin.gitnation.org #ReactDayBerlin

I just made potato soup for the first time. Lessons learned: I still don’t like celery and 2 spoons of vegetable stock powder is too salty.

When a company has employees all over the world then not using ISO8601 across all communication and documents is a missed chance. #ISO8601rules

I am coming to terms that I am the kind of speaker who works on their talk until they have given their talk. I am fine with that. #AgileTD

Thrilled to announce that my latest blog post has achieved a monumental milestone: 10 whole clicks from Google Search! 🚀 To all 10 of you—Mom, Dad, and the 8 accidental clicks—thank you for believing in me. #SEOChampion #NextStop11Clicks Btw Google, my favicon is outdated

Tariq King kicking off „A No Frills Introduction to AI and ML“ at #AgileTD

It’s good to be back home. @agiletdzone.bsky.social
