Yet another #tieday today. Third time with a tie this week due to CLC conference in Mannheim. Apparently you can wear a smartwatch through the airport security check, but not a tie clip 🙂 Tulip knot

I caught Claude Code "lying" to me this morning. This is a gentle reminder that while these kinds of tools are both capable and useful, they are also incredibly flawed and lack any kind of actual intelligence.

Day two of Newcrafts, a proper #tieday! Started the day with a morning run around the Eiffel Tower and now I'm at the conference sporting a Trinity knot. Last day in Paris before I go home to Sweden tomorrow.

In Paris today for Newcrafts where I held a TDD-workshop in the morning slot. Good times and now I get to enjoy the rest of the conference in peace 😁 I think this tie is still my absolute favourite and it really shines in the Haddon knot.

Time for another #tieday. Went a bit advanced with an Intrinity knot today. It's essentially a Penrose knot tied on top of a Trinity knot - long ties only 😅 Neon Oni's latest new album Nihilism is blasting out of the speakers today. Bonus pics from TDC in Trondheim where I was on Monday.

Time for another#tieday again. The beard is getting a bit long so I'm off to trim it (and the hair) in an hour. Tie is tied in a Rachel knot, named after the inventor's wife. Have a nice day!

Friday is here, the sun is shining, the trees are getting colourful, Vintersorg is playing in the headphones and the necktie is tied in a Haddon knot.. I'm having a fantastic #tieday, hope yours is equally good!

I published a crate for converting between time representations in different crates. Blog post: buff.ly/E2Jwym5 The crate: buff.ly/WMTTpp3 #rust #crate #oss #library #chrono #time #timezones #datetime

Short tie for #tieday today so went with a Trinity knot because in doesn't use that much material.

Time for another #tieday. Sporting a Truelove knot today. As far as I know it has nothing to do with true love. It just happens to be the inventor's surname.

Does anyone know what this prompt actually does? It doesn't seem to be keeping me signed in since I last signed in a few hours ago...

#tieday in Borås today. Me and two of my colleagues are attending a conference about digital product passes in textile. Very exciting since I know practically nothing about this. Oh and I'm sporting an Eldredge knot today. The tie is from Stenströms, but that's as much as I know about its origins.

Oh my, is it Friday again already? I guess that means time for another #tieday. Found a new knot today: KES knot (courtesy of Mr. C's Another Knot). I rather like it. Which one's your favourite?

Today's #tieday together with my colleagues in Karlshamn.

When coding with agentic AI I feel I'm missing out on the inherent design review that comes with writing APIs and structuring code. Just reviewing generated code doesn't trigger the same reflection on the design as writing it myself - and I don't just auto-accept changes without review

Vacation is over and I'm back at work. That means that I'm wearing a necktie for today's #tieday! Eldredge knot.

One of the worst parts about working with coding agents is that they don't learn anything.

The recording of Pipeline Patterns and Antipatterns at NDC Oslo is up on YouTube. If you didn't catch it there, you can catch it here!

I'm giving my highly appreciated workshop on TDD at NewCrafts 2025 in Paris on November 3-7. Will I see you there?

Last day before vacation and it's a #tieday. Got one day to calm down tomorrow and then we're taking the ID.4 on a road trip to Italy. See you in 5 weeks 😁

Consistency in your APIs matters. Inconsistent naming and a lack of conventions increase cognitive load and can be a source of footguns. I'm going to call out Microsoft's provided tasks in AzureDevOps as a bad example of this (the same goes for much of Azure, by the way).

There have been a few Friday's lately that coincided with public holidays or parental leave so I haven't posted any neckties for a while. I'm back today with a Trinity though! Next week will be my last #tieday before I go on vacation so I'll have some extra for then 😁

When using #CodingAgents for #SoftwareDevelopment, remember to snapshot often (then rebase everything into neat commits once you're ready). Also, be aware of the sunk cost fallacy; sometimes it's better to abandon and start over instead of trying to prompt your way out of a rabbit hole.

Hey @martinfowler.com, I saw your post about analytics. We use plausible.io for factor10.com just because it works without cookies and doesn't do privacy-invading levels of tracking.

This week's #tieday is spent travelling back home from NDC Oslo. Showing off a Cape knot for my fellow train passengers 🙂

Day 2 of #NDCOslo. I'm talking about pipelines in room 5 at 16:20 if you're here and want to listen, or maybe just check out the Trinity knot 🙂

Day one of NDC Oslo. Sporting an Eldredge knot. If you're here, come find me. I'll be spending a lot of time on the hallway track 🙂

Time for another #tieday. Trying out new knots and found the Luke knot. I don't know where the name comes from (name of the inventor maybe?). I can't spot any StarWars likeness in it at least.

I'm out windowshopping today (well, actually, it's doors). Sporting a trinity knot for #tieday.

#tieday at DevOpsDays Aarhus today and yesterday. A Haddon knot for today and a Vidalia yesterday. No tie on Friday since it's my day off.

Today's #MetalAppreciationMonday comes from a ferry in Kattegat as I travel towards Aarhus for DevOpsDays Denmark. I had some issues coming up with Danish metal bands when it struck me: Illdisposed! Not only are they Danish, but they are also from Aarhus!

It's #tieday again. Went with an Atlantic knot today. It's one of the simplest knots I know. Yet, with tie knots, as with lots of other fields, simplicity can also be beautiful!

Today's #MetalAppreciationMonday is a continuation of last week's. A friend suggested Cemetery Skyline, and it immediately felt familiar. I figured out this morning that it's because it's Mikael Stanne on vocals. Good stuff! buff.ly/y1WStxj

New week, new #metalappreciationmonday. I discovered Turmion Kätilöt — Finnish industrial metal — during my University years. I think the lyrics are quite raw and graphic, but since I don't understand Finnish, they could just as well be about how cute bunnies are :D

What do running shoes have in common with software development? I bought new running shoes yesterday and went for a run with them today and got inspired. Or deranged maybe? You decide: raniz.blog/2025-03-31_h...

The tulips in the garden is growing so I'm celebrating that with a Tulip knot for #tieday.

I've been researching European alternatives to Google Drive and OneDrive and found several that might fit the bill. Both me and factor10 ended up with Infomaniak's kDrive. If you want to read more on the requirements and the alternatives I found, I just blogged about it. raniz.blog/2025-03-24_u...

I need more metal in my life, so I'm trying to get a new thing going: #MetalAppreciationMonday. I discovered Australian metal around the same time as Anders, and I'll always associate it with him. Rest in peace, Anders. Be'lakor - Of Breath and Bone:

It's #tieday again - only one this week. Went with a Truelove knot today since I think it fits the tie nicely.

Friday is here so now it's a proper #tieday again. This is the fifth knot I'm wearing this week - conferencing is hard work 😁 Found a new YouTube channel with knots today so took one from there: a Weaver's knot.

I've seen a lot of posts since the announcement that the TypeScript compiler is being reimplemented in Go, arguing why Go is or is not a good choice. I like Rust. Rust is often my go-to language if I get to choose, and I've never really liked Go.

Trinity knot for #tieday today. I really like how it looks with striped ties! For some reason, the stripes almost always line up to form a triangle in the knot. I wonder if the angle for necktie stripes is standardised or if everyone happens to pick 45 degrees out of habit.

New blog post: Its all servers

I'm done with NPM (the tool), and now I can't decide between Yarn and pnpm. What is your choice of package manager for JS/TS projects and why?

#tieday is here again! Wearing a Hyrule knot today, but I think it should be named the Triforce knot instead because that's what it's supposed to resemble - it does if you squint a bit.

I have a JavaScript framework joke, but it's obsolete...

There are _so_ many cloud and hosting providers here in Europe. I want to build services on all of them :) Image courtesy of Hetzner from one of their datacenters. #eurostack #digitalsovereignty #eusovereignty #eucloud #cloud

How bad would it be for your business if relations between the US and the EU worsen or even break down completely? The US hyperscalers have been the easy hosting choice for quite a while now, which means that many businesses have grown an unhealthy dependency on them for survival.
