I've been working on some content for a possible new talk for hopefully @devoxx.com and/or #JFall this fall season. Always wanted a sarcastic, unhelpful pair programmer that puts me in my place when I ask silly things 🥲 What do you think? Would you let this little one blow up stuff in your code?

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8 .. well actually Claude did the hard work. Impressed!

Today I am preparing for #JCON Within two weeks I will be presenting how #OpenTelemetry can help you with your observability challenges. I am looking forward to the conference! @jcon.one

This week: Microsoft: “30% of our code is written by AI” Google: “over 30% of all new code is written by AI” Meta: “within 12-18 months *most* code will be written by AI” Are you ready for this shift?

Hat's off to a great idea: have caching as a NFR.

No, a new study DIDN’T say seed oils are causing colorectal cancer. The study has ZERO to do with seed oils. Or ANY dietary components. Diet wasn’t even involved. It was a molecular screen of tumor biopsies that looked at patterns of gene expression & metabolism. 1/

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

🥪 LUNCH & LEARN DAY 🎓 Today Ilia Awakimjan of @wetransfer.bsky.social hosted an insightful (and slightly unconventional) session: "Building the worst platform"! Through a clever reverse perspective, he showed us how building the absolute worst platform can teach us about creating the best one.
