Starting the day with a canceled bus, followed by a canceled train. Ask me again why I commute by car now 😅

Turns out my blog had been hacked after all... And Claude actually helped tremendously to find a solution (after being wroung about its early conclusions though 😬). TY all for your help yesterday! lengrand.fr/my-blog-... #claude #security

If you need to open a > 1MB text file, your safe bet is still Sublime. Even almost 10 years later, doesn't even break a sweat

❤️Need your help!❤️ : Would you please click on lengrand.fr/my-exper... and let me know if you get a fraudulent captcha pop up? I've had 2 readers report it, but cannot reproduce nor find anything suspicious at all on my server.

Copilot, Copilot _everywhere_

You know that uneasy feeling about not knowing how to navigate your codebase after a few weeks away from it? With AI writing part of my code, I find that feeling to be 10x stronger on my projects, to the point that sometimes it's simply easier to rebuild the feature from scratch...

Touching grass today. Grass smells funny

It is with great pleasure that I announce you that today, I have used a couple of the box with all leftover screws I've collected over the years in the infamous coffee container. Those days do happen!

Gotta love that Excel is pushing "importing data from pictures" as one of the main sources, while importing from a formatted CSV file is considered "legacy". Non deterministic data FTW!

Baarle-Nassau is famous for its incredibly complex border with the Belgian municipality of Baarle-Hertog. The two towns are inextricably intertwined, forming a patchwork of 30 enclaves. The kids loved playing being in 2 countries at once 😛

Just before the weekend, some thoughts about how #coding at home has changed for me since #GenAI showed up.

In the era of smartphones, this 400 year quote is interesting 😊 : "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." -Blaise Pascal

With Claude Code becoming more expensive and more limited by the day it's time to investigate alternatives. I'm a big fan of the team behind Kilo since Day 1. Turns out they have a CLI and since it's based on OpenCode I can straight up plug it in Pedram Amini's Maestro. Let's GOO!

Had a great time at MLCon yesterday. Super happy to see the results of a program I've helped build :). Lots of great speakers, super organization, and leaving with some nice insights about platforms and AIOPS. But first and foremost, as always with conferences : Energy to ship! 🚀

Today is the day apparently. 1k followers, ty all 🎉. If I believe my experience, that's the moment 10 or so of you are gonna unfollow so this message looks silly haha.

First time I actually get on to this "let's build skills" movement. Watching lots of indie SAAS videos lately, built a small skill that extracts knowledge from those videos and makes skills from them. Maybe you find that interesting 😊. Oh, and it credits authors of course!

Great meetup with Steve Sanderson teaching us at ING about advanced GitHub Copilot techniques. Learnt hips, and we even broke the platform 😬. Ty all for joining !

And the spamming/scamming continues, it's really time to start investigating Luma.

After reading many posts and comments saying that Claude is becoming dumber, I can affirm that I also feel, in fact, that Claude is becoming dumber.

Last week I gave the closing Keynote at ING's frontend summit. I've been building communities for over 10 years and for me the whole AI craze isn't about tech. It's about how much energy is creates in people, seeing them build stuff for fun, challenge each other. People are awesome, and humbling.

Well done Hungary 🤘🤘

Honored to be able to help open Voxxed Days Amsterdam with my good friend Soham Dasgupta today ❤️. It feels great being able to introduce on stage folks we’ve read the papers of a few months back. Thanks for the opportunity Ko Turk 😊.

I for one do appreciate how agentic development helps iterate and experiment faster. But I also can't help but see the reliability and performance of the major players on the market go down noticeably. PRoved by numbers. Are we collectively decided to forget about quality and performance?

This "Courier has delivered your package but actually hasn't delivered it" situation is getting out of control or is it just me? Only difference now is I've got cameras at the house so I know you never showed up buddy.. My 3d printer has apparently arrived today and I'm gone for the weekend now..

I'm hiring an #AI 🤖developer advocate🤖. If you are into developer relations and want to help further scale a 7k+ people strong community of _extremely_ motivated folks, feel free to apply :). The role is based in Amsterdam. ing.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ICSGBLCOR/jo... #devrel #genai

France in a nutshell, as an expat. Thank god I've never needed their help urgently

Today is a big day 😊

I wouldn't like to be an "heavy" IDE company in the coming years. I've always been a huge fan of JetBrains and IntelliJ. Paid for my own licenses for years. I'm still "coding" every day, but with the help of agents just realized I haven't actually opened IntelliJ in a month... VSCode is just enough

Hey good folks at Vivaldi, you're in the browser business so you should definitely know what Spam looks like right? What is this folks? I'm trying to become a customer and you're bombarding me daily. Do you want me gone?

Looks like I've let AI go BRRR by itself for over a day by now. Still having a lot of fun with Maestro, and finally found a way to have the time to build my side projects AND workout ^^. Give it a try! github.com/pedramami...

Supermarkets be like : * Look, self-checkout, much convenience and speed!! * more self-checkout, less employees. More $! * Inflation much, prices📈! * Prices too high, people are stealing! * Self-checkout cashier random checks half the time! Me : More work, more checks, prices up. Loving it!

This is legit the most seducing onboarding strategy I've seen in the few years. Very following The good folks at Kilo Code for a little while already because of the stellar team they have. This is next level :). Talk to you soon Emilie

A great quote for today : "As a result, these days I spend far more time thinking about how to make being wrong cheap rather than how to avoid being wrong." From lethain.com/curiosit....

Sry, no time for social media. I'm too busy with my love/hate relationship with Claude

One of the things I learnt as a parent is that the best way to handle a child that is being as obnoxious as possible to get attention is to ignore them. I wonder to what extent that lesson is useful for world leaders.

So the new iOS look is basically a downgrade. I don’t understand it, transparent bubbly things are clashing on top of each other everywhere. 🙈

AI hype in a nutshell xD. "Claude Code creator open sources the internal agent, used to simplify complex PRs". "Alright, settle down everyone. The consensus in this thread is a resounding 'meh'. The community is largely skeptical and unimpressed."

AI go BRRRRRR https://runmaestro.ai/

Spending the weekend playing around with @pedramamini's Maestro, and so far I'm quite impressed ?! It suddenly feels like Claude and my projects are getting extra super powers. Is that what AI first workflows will look like a couple years from now ? github.com/pedramami...

Current status : The start of the end of a small chapter of my life 😊. 2026 looks 🚀 already!

It's always great to be surrounded by such a group of nice people, and see the quality of the proposals increase year after year. Over 600 proposals rated, the choice was hard! See you in a couple months, the program rocks 🤘

A country where law enforcement personnel operates hiding their faces and identity on _cannot_ be there to serve its citizens.

Kinda curious, people using Claude Code, do you use it in the terminal of your IDE, straight in a full screen terminal, or something else?

Youtube stop freaking destroying the planet auto dubbing every video I watch to English and making the button to disable 3 clicks away. THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOT IGNORANT, NOR ENGLISH SPEAKING. Diversify your teams, please!

There is something great about snow outside as I’m working inside. The feeling of being cushioned helps with focus somehow. Pure bliss.

Drifting on the highway exits is fun, but not very reassuring 😅. Made it safe though! #snow

Genuinely considering leaving social media behind for good this year. Twitter is terrifying, happy I left a couple years back. Finding it harder and harder to find my people here, and I think I lost the fun of sharing. Wondering where to find it again, or if I should

It’s all about oil, again….

Haven't looked yet, but 100$ that this is on top of Hacker News, and half the comments are this

I think I found the lair of the Ninja Turtles. Manhole endboss
