See what I just merged! 🎉🐶 There are a few steps left, but hey! The First working version of #SQLite support in #Pongo landed in the main branch! github.com/event-driven...

GenAI images in slides, blog posts, newsletters, and the like are a crystal-clear sign of an author with terrible taste. If you use one, I’ll probably skip the text altogether. If I’m forced to read it for some reason, I won’t take either the content or the author seriously.

LoL. Now I wonder if all those people who were bashing Open Source creators in this thread will stop and do some retrospective on what they wrote. I doubt it, but it'd be great if they did. github.com/dotnet/aspne...

#Pongo just reached 1300 🌟 on GitHub! Nice! If you’d like to match #MongoDB accessibility with #PostgreSQL powers - try it! github.com/event-driven...

After all those years Super Frog is still such a fun game to play 🐸❤️

Sneaky code bites back, I realised that again recently. I realised I'd been writing terrible code when I couldn't explain it to myself. The code worked. It was adding SQLite support to Pongo. But when I tried to describe how I was implementing multi-database support, I heard myself saying... 1/

reading all the h1b worker first hand accounts who turned around at the airport and just accepted they could no longer go visit family and friends and they are basically at the mercy of their employers for this 100k thing. it’s heart breaking. globalnews.ca/news/1143776...

I'll just put it here

As requested, I published an article about how the UI profiler works: minidump.net/measuring-ui... It allows me to measure the responsiveness of Visual Studio when running with ReSharper, in various conditions. I also made the source code available on github: github.com/kevingosse/U...

“Look Ma’ no hands!” It’s interesting how much audience (in our industry) are getting people showing that’s the best/only way to ride a bicycle. For some it is, but they usually have big red noses. For other trying to follow that advice, the next step is tho „Look Ma’ no teeth!” 🤷‍♂️

I know that’s not going to happen, and I know that it’s already too late, but it’d be great if people from the US read Paul Lynch's” Prophet Song”. Unfortunately, it’s too precisely what’s happening there. And, well, not only there… www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

Do you want to learn more about cool #PostgreSQL features like partitioning, logical replication? Know also more about dos and donts from my experience? After receiving a ton of questions on last week's Particular Software webinar on #PostgreSQL Superpowers, I did a Q&A, discussing those topics 1/

@oskardudycz.bsky.social given you're into Postgres, I can highly recommend this book www.goodreads.com/book/show/46... (I'm not sure where you can still buy it, best to contact Alex Korban, the author).

@julientopcu.com @tpierrain.bsky.social I was playing for fun today with the Architecture as Code to define modules, their relationships and composing dependencies for #Emmett in #TypeScrip and… I think that Hive works great for that! If you’d like to I could show you that when it’s more polished🙂

Could someone explain to me why do we need nowadays a random YT influencer to do read article for us? Taking also more time than reading on your own and not adding much value other than lame jokes and fluff comments. I think that I’m old to get it.

Not even close.

No shot towards any particular library, but it's crazy how .NET did a full loop and now we're again into attribute-based magic mess with code generation. This approach has its place (I was using it in Marten, and the team still does that), it can make performance better, but ask Java friend....

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I’m saying that’s not a matter of IF but WHEN. Poland, Latvia and Lithuania will be next. Unfortunately, today we have the next proof of that. 1/

Big news! My book, "Shift: The Playbook for Event-Driven Architecture Advocacy," is officially available for pre-order! It's been a long time coming and I'm super excited to finally get this into your hands.

If you're still unsure what the story is behind the #PostgreSQL popularity, then it's the right time to do something. Doing something means clicking the link below and signing up for my tomorrow's webinar! particular.net/webinars/pos... 1/

“Just use SQL”, they say. “No need for ORMs”, they add. And they may be right, but… But then accidental complexity piles in. Just is enough for a simple or explicit context. Eventually, as our system grows, we’ll need to deal with complications. 1/

“The same exact pressures and constraints that made us do the wrong thing this time will also make us do the wrong thing next time unless we intentionally identify and eliminate those constraints.” — @spavel.bsky.social with a nice tie in to @norootcause.surfingcomplexity.com

Last night, Russia launched one of the largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, targeting government buildings and civilian homes alike. Once again, the Kremlin is mocking diplomacy, trampling international law and killing indiscriminately.

Agreed, although it's sadly not a good sales pitch to tell people that have no clue about Software development, that the team will try to write less shitty Code this time. So devs try to bring in the big guns aka Silver Bullets instead of arguments.

It’d be great if we had fewer discussions about Microservices vs Monolith over how not to end up with a Big Ball of Mud. That’d give more useful discussions on the foundational stuff like modularity. If one can’t make a proper logical split, neither microservices nor monolith will serve us well.

Video of my #ruby and #eventsourcing presentation at @balticruby back in June, where I gradually lose my voice (and my code samples lose a bit of format). All in all it's a decent summary of the code and ideas, if I say so myself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKgc...

LLMs providing info on topics I don’t know: “wow this is brilliant!” LLMs providing info on topics I’m expert in; “ugh this is so bad!” Me: I’m sure there’s nothing I can deduce from these two observations.

Together with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social, I’ve launched a new series on Facilitating Software Architecture and Design. We’ll share practical ways to decentralize architecture, no matter your role or context. Curious why you’d want to do that? The first episode is out now.

As Poland just beat Slovenia with Luka Doncic at Eurobasket then it’s worth bringing a fun fact about me: 16 years ago, I was a mascot at Eurobasket 2009. This is me and a friend of mine, both acting as Żubr Mieszko. Also fun fact: Żubr is a Polish sibling of bison. 🦬🏀🇵🇱

All the vibe coding stuff brings to mind Weinberg’s zeroth law of software development: if it doesn’t have to work you can always meet any other requirement.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

With RSC finally expanding to Parcel and Vite, is this time to talk about the elephant in the room? Testing.

What are your thoughts on testing RSC? How are you testing them today, if at all? Curious to learn more from you.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

If you spend *any* time in the programming subs on Reddit, you'll find out that CQRS might be the most mis-understood concept in recent history.

Vertical Slices in software architecture are pictured as the best thing since sliced bread. I won’t try to hide that, like it. I've written about CQRS and Vertical Slices over the years - how to slice the codebase effectively, shown examples, and explained why generic doesn't mean simple, yet… 1/
