You, mister delivery man from DHL who is the only person delivering my package, who I stay at home for, see pass by, mention my address doesn't exist from your freaking driver seat before returning the package WHILE YOU KNOW ME; I hate you. I really needed that package today.

Today doesn’t start in the best of ways 😅. At least the guy who reared in me was honest, thank lord

Quantity over quality, as a means to produce quality work. An insightful read about writing (or anything) in the morning sebastianhetman.com/... #writing

Another day of spending an hour in traffic so I can be at the office to spend the day fighting over meeting rooms so I can be in virtual meetings with people who are home because collaboration and working together is important! I really don't understand this.

Is it me or Claude desktop has become insanely slow for th past couple months? I have to wait 40+ seconds quite often those days and it's annoying enough that I consider ditching it

My very first contribution on the ING Tech Blog! I’m excited to share my experience with mutation testing and how it’s vital to strengthen your test suite to gain code quality and resilience. Test smart. Test strong. Trust your code. medium.com/ing-blog/gai...

Knew about it but first time I heard about the actual name for it : Dunbar's number. The maximum number of relationships people can have at once. Very interesting insights in this page for communities and organization. At which point do we become "them" instead of "us"? en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Today is a good day. Christmas is early this year :) #ironmaiden

We'll be hosting the #AI Native #Meetup at ING 14th October! The event is open to all, and we'll have 2 founders speaking so join us for a nice evening!

After a successful #SRE #Meetup just yesterday, the good folks in my team have already prepared the next one! Join us Oct. 30th, for 3 great SRE talks in Amsterdam.

This is a test

If that isn’t the most dutch military vehicle i ve seen i dont know what is 😂 . 🇳🇱🪖

Voxxed Days Amsterdam is coming back! Happy to be part of the review team again this year, can't wait to see how much better it'll be!

ING is sponsoring a conference in Amsterdam that has its first edition tomorrow featuring Josh Long and many others, in 4 tracks, 100% focused on #AI. No fluff, just code. Program: amsterdam.ai4devs.io... Tickets: io-tech.paydro.com/a...#AI.(use 'flash-sale-jug' promo code for a 50% discount)

Yet another story on how large companies can destroy their reputation for life for very short sighted monetary gains. Pretty sure this won't even create a ripple internally. Good job, Salesforce! skyfall.dev/posts/slack #devrel

Same for people who don't use the Metaverse!

When I write a blog post, I'm struggling to write a good excerpt, know which tags and write a social media post for it. This weekend, I experimented and published my first Claude artifact that does just that. You can customize too. Try it out here blogprocessor.lengra... #blog #blogging #claude #ai

🚀 TIL: You can redirect subdomains in Coolify without creating full resources! Just use dynamic proxy config with a simple YAML file. Perfect for linking to external tools while keeping everything centralized. lengrand.fr/using-co... #coolify #devops #proxy #traefik #redirect

can someone please tell me HOW THE FUCK i'm supposed to be winning ranked like this? 3rd game in a row like this, or with an abandon. Oh, and I was reported for "not picking a tank". Screw that game #dota2

Ok, this is by far the dopest gym I’ve been to. Felt touched by the grace of the almighty doing my curls this morning 😂😂

Built a simple Apple Shortcut that voice-captures timestamp + location when I say "record incident" while driving. Better than transcribing hours of footage using Whisper! #appleshortcuts #tech #automation #diy

status.anthropic.com/ says everything operational, but no luck for me tonight with Claude. Is it me?

Me : upgrading to the latest and greatest. Gradle : Dude you're using stuff that will be removed in the next version that doesn't exist yet!

All I want for Christmas this year is for CEOs to stop making hyperbolic claims to try and inflate the hype their products rely on. We down there have to deal with the consequences.

Beautiful moon yesterday 🌓, even woke the 9 year old so she can see her first eclipse. <3 And we even made an extra sneaky friend along the way !

Was great fun, thanks so much for organizing @hanno.codes ! Cannot not see that half of the crowd you received today is from ING haha. Till next time!

Anyone remembers the good old time where you could create a bug report and add a Gitpod link for people to easily be able to reproduce? Me too! github.com/supabase/...

Love it when Claude uses humour to tell me I'm not that smart and it has slacked off on its implementation :P

Darn, NOOOOO. Synology was one of the last few companies that hadn't shoved #AI down my throat yet. I didn't ask for this update, darn!

In the 10 years I’ve been in The Netherlands, the NS went from the company i trusted and revered to a strong inconvenience that I hate and makes my life stressful and unreliable. Congrats NS, I bought a car and won’t look back! Can’t believe how much the service degraded in that time.

Does anyone know of / recommends a book club (open) platform that I can use to start organising book clubs _inside_ a company? I'd like something akin to Meetup that people can self-organise. Can either be self-hosted, or not. #book #reading #meetup

I swear folks, the battle for bots has been won a long time ago! I only go back to X when I really have to, but darn is it sad over there now.

September 4th, my good friend Maja Reissner is organizing a meetup in Arnhem focused on secure software development. *A first talk on TypeScript hacking. * Carlo Klerk from Alliander will cover threat modeling. Would you be interested and available to join? Sign up here :

A good sign the team behind this TODO app is trying its best but not diverse enough 😅. Geertjan is a name folks, and I want to plan that task for today, not January 🙃

So happy to experience the unsufficiently long trains at peak hours in the morning again. Thanks NS for contributing to my standing hours ❤️

Cleaning up the kiddos bedroom before they come back tomorrow and it's a lot of fun. I didn't know my 8 year old had TV already xD. Also found a handmade lego smartphone in my 5 year old's bed ^^. Loving them kids so much <3

That sounds about right xD

Ok, I've taken the time to install claude code in my IDE today and I'm genuinely flabbergasted at the results so far. Even for #kotlin Compose multiplatform which can be considered relatively niche. The results are actually useful, and the speed is INSANE! Really happy so far!

If you see this, post a castle

You may have heard a little less about me lately. It is because I have decided to leave IT and dedicate myself to my new calling: goat herding 😛.

Love this timeline thing from the signup process of #pally! In a world full of dark patterns, feels good when a team takes the time to make everything very explicit! <3 #ux

I love it when a product adds many features I don't use (audiobooks, podcasts); spends years forcing them in my face; raises the prices to supports them; to finally remove them and place them behind an additional fee. I only listen to music #spotify. I feel robbed... Time to check for alternatives

Unsure who plays #9kings here but I had a pretty nice run today and made it to year 76. Long enough for the damage values to not fit the screen any more 😬. King of spells for the win!

Now that adoption has grown massively and #ai assistants are an expected part of the worker’s toolbelt I’m patiently waiting for all companies to raise prices in search for profitability like streaming services have done. Looking forward the many surprised pikachu faces

Sometimes you just have to allow yourself to do the thing you've complained about so many times before. I just pinged over 2000 people in a teams channel today 😅. Still feeling a bit guilty.

Turns out meringues are the perfect companion to crème brûlée! One uses a lot of yolks, and the other one all the leftover whites! ❤️❤️

It's crazy to see the quality of everything lower over time. Even companies that used to be known for their attention to quality. Restarting the chromecast every other day? Normal. Youtube UI stalling? Normal. MBP losing wifi when using a dongle? Normal. Spotify losing connection? Normal...
