I felt like writing a blog post —a little write-up on why fixing failed #database deployments is challenging. Spoiler: The part about undo-scripts might feel like a rant, probably because it is. 🙃 medium.com/@jasminfluri...

Java devs, please instrument your code 🧠 Have you ever struggled tracing SQL back to the app? Use setClientInfo(...) to add meaningful metadata to your JDBC queries. It makes tracing and perf debugging way easier. New blog post with real code & tips: 🔗 martincarstenbach.com/2025/10/16/j...

Wow…can’t believe it took me 10 years to get to @pougorg.bsky.social but it delivered in every possible way. So great to see old friends and I haven’t learned that much at a conference in a very long time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And it’s over, sadly. #poug2025 ended yesterday, and it was a great 10th anniversary event very well organised by the @pougorg.bsky.social team. Well done @luizafrompoland.bsky.social and @ora600pl.bsky.social Looking forward to #poug2026, no idea where it will be, but I will be there.

Doing my best to treat post-conference blues. #POUG2025 was as usual fantastic. Learned a lot and met great people. Thanks to @luizafrompoland.bsky.social, @ora600pl.bsky.social and the rest of the team for a great conference.
