a question for the people who write code for money: if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

Too good

Annual Tech Worker AI Sentiment Survey Lenny is bullish on AI, and the results he shares here show real polarisation in positivity. What surprised me was how few people would recommend a career in tech today. The burnout, uncertainty, and fear of change tell the story. x.com/lennysan/sta...

TIL the meaning behind Em Dash — @qmacro.org

Nice to see @cbasis.bsky.social doing the keynote #hanatechcon and pointing out the ironies in tech marketing vs reality. From "HANA means no more DBAs" to "AI means no more developers". Same prophecy, new logo.

I really enjoyed #reCAP2026 and can't wait to watch the videos when I get home

Next up, my colleague Josh is showing how to implement runtime plugins in CAP Java, along with some really cool REPL-like features in IntelliJ. #reCAP2026

Watching my colleague Nick demo how Terraform can automate the provisioning of SAP BTP subaccounts and required resources as part of onboarding new tenants into a multitenant application. #reCAP2026

Really liking the Event Queue scheduling #reCAP2026 more elegant than how I wrote outbox scheduling

Made me lol

"Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." AI wasn't hired, so the rule didn't apply to it.

Out of 190 third party packages, 81 had a single maintainer. Takeaway, every dependency or plugin you install is a stranger in your supply chain. #reCAP2026

Interesting contrast in the recap keynote. Annotate your services with MCP and Agent (A2A) and you can achieve things in seconds that would take a long time to do in the UI. #reCAP2026

Saw lots of cool stuff at UI5con yesterday, but it felt like much of it will only land on My Home and ABAP, not Work Zone and CAP. Let's see if today proves me wrong.

Getting my culture on

Heard on The Pragmatic Engineer AMA podcast. "Congratulations, you're now a middle manager. A manager of managers whose job is to keep your manager happy." The answer to why people leave a steady job to start startups.

True. And the chaos is often driven by people who mistake authority for expertise.

The U.S. may still win if only Mike Pence has the courage..

The curse of the watchmaker's son - I see a product or feature and think, "I wonder how they built that." Minutes later I wish I hadn't.

2016: "We can't do DevOps, remember that issue 10 years ago." 2026: "We need to deploy faster. These models have a shelf life." It's funny how quickly software went from fragile to perishable.

Inbox Zero removes the friction of having lots of unread emails. Podcast Zero removes the illusion that you're one weekend away from catching up on 100 hours of NdGT, JRE, and Lex Fridman.

Today is the first day of the financial year, and I'm reflecting. 16 years ago I left a job where success meant being busy, 220+ billable days, team targets, company targets, Scrabble-tile staffing, long weeks away. Now I set my own targets. Bill more, work less. Success is less complicated

The last couple of times I've opened LinkedIn, I've been pleasantly surprised to find posts and comments I actually wanted to read from people I appreciate following

Made me lol

github.com/SAP-samples/... - interesting app, React / Tailwind app deployed in Work Zone, it does looks nice though, would love to see a section in the README on the trade offs, a lot of questions id like to ask about choices made

Consulting giant Accenture is trying to figure out how to stop non-technical workers from blowing through companies’ AI token budget on trivial tasks like converting PDFs to presentation slides, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media. Welcome to the Tokenpocalypse.

TIL you can copy a curl command from your browser's network tab and paste it into Postman's import. It builds the full request for you, cookies, auth tokens, headers included.

One advantage RAP has over CAP is the amount of production-grade code you can learn from. Documentation teaches syntax, real systems teach trade-offs. When you're solving complex enterprise problems, seeing how others package, test, scale, and extend solutions is extremely valuable learning.

This global software boss thinks human coders will be extinct within four years share.google/x3AAQFg8tIGr... Interesting commentary around the AI IPOs and the effect on the SaaS market. I feel we are more likely to see SAP move towards Outcome based pricing then the extinction of ABAPPERS

Interesting I feel this translates to you can buy models, agents, and platforms. You can't buy judgment, trust, culture, domain expertise, or the ability to know when the AI is wrong. hbr.org/2026/06/3-wa...

Asked ChatGPT if I should leave the pub or stay till the 4.45am kickoff. It said some of the worst life choices happen at 2.30am. Fair point :-)

There is a fine line between confident and cowboy, and the LLM can't tell which side of that line it's on. Neither can the cowboy.

When execution gets cheap, everything gets built. The bottleneck shifts from building to being worth using. Reminds me of the "Made in China" pushback in the 90s. It was never really about quality. It was about trust.

Microsoft Scout sounds interesting, an automated personal assistant that interacts with MS Teams. Hopefully it comes with an April Ludgate mode. www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...

Stop saying "we" in interviews. Good series on how a coach preps clients for tech interviews. This episode goes into the pyramid approach to lead a Q with your action. Discusses showing impact - how to explain the business consequence when you don't have the metrics. youtu.be/kt7HzEMHYbU?...

From JPL to Google, the devrel with impact (L5 to Distinguished Engineer) was a very interesting story, I really like how he summarised the process he followed "you do the work, you have the vision, you execute and you land", some good lessons in there

Feels like Opus 4.8 was trained on Woody Allen

Latest episode of @coffeecornerradio.bsky.social with @holgerbsky.bsky.social and @cyclingfisch.bsky.social on Sapphire 2026 is a good listen, centres around the messaging around the Autonomous Enterprise & the correlation with MySAP, one takeaway was all the recent AI investments were European

I was laid off by Atlassian www.youtube.com/watch?v=55pT... a few people have referenced this video in conversation, its a masterclass in system thinking

I used to think culture was the worst behaviour we’re willing to accept. Not what we say in public, but what we do behind closed doors. Now I think it’s the compromises we make on our core values to keep results coming. Culture follows incentives, not values.
