Those acquisition numbers will just keep becoming larger and larger until one day, when I'm old enough, someone will just acquire the only other player left in the field and Earth will be one single megacorporation. about.netflix.com/en...

It's this time of the year where "I'll spend 15 minutes doing today's Advent of Code challenge" will turn into "I'll spend half the night doing the AOC Challenge" 😅. And I regret nothing#AdventOfCodede

Hey @sebi.io! Just saw your talk at KotlinDevDay :). The MLCon CFP is open for a few more hours and we don't have JetBrains nor Kotlin in there yet! If you or @antonarhipov.bsky.social submit sessions fast enough I can get them ranked :) sessionize.com/devopsconmlc...

Toujours un plaisir de passer un moment avec @k33g_org! On ne se voit pas souvent, mais à chaque fois on refait le monde et j'en ressors plein d'énergie et avec une grosse envie de geeker. Je veux être pareil à ton âge! La soupe a-t-elle réussi à passer la sécu de l'aéroport?

I’d like a complete ban on phones in cars. People swiveling out of lane, taking a left lane and lowly going down to half the speed limit before accelerating when you overtake them, …. Pretty much all of the dangerous behavior my dash cam registers is due to people using their phone while driving….

Kinda cool to think that you can have a whole functioning message broker that runs by itself in isolation for less than 10MB. Great going Mosquitto reducing that image size.

If you need any proof that Bending Spoons is just letting #Meetups die and racking in the money of large groups already existing, simply look at the constant, daily spam of bots posting the exact same message in all groups Time to switch, folks

Spec driven development is pretty fun and useful (bit too verbose, but I actually get value even for myself having specific specs); but darn is it token heavy! I burn through all my tokens for the day within 3 hours! #speckit #ai

I'm sorry Mr Excel, but no matter how much you want to keep me continuously online, importing CSV files is NOT Legacy. And I'm laughing at you every single time you tell me it is

Spec-Kit giving me commercial options for deployment. Great, given that's most likely what will happen anyways but it bears the question of how long it will take before LLMs are manipulated to be biased towards the platforms of their overlords ^^.

For years I have respected @danabra.mov's for the depth and quality of his writings and thoughts. He is one of my examples of what a technical leader looks like. But this quote genuinely made me chuckle 🤭. Dan is relocating to Japan, hire him before it's too late! overreacted.io/hire-me-in-j...

With all that's happening in the world, whether geopolitics, AI, or plain corporate agendas I spent some time activating an automatic mirroring of all of my #GitHub repositories today and I wanna share this little gem I've discovered: github.com/RayLabsHQ...#GitHub<3. Man OSS is awesome

Don't forget to pee in your shower to reduce your footprint my folks! Great idea <3

UPDATE : I am no longer impressed. Looks good on the surface, utter useless junk inside and nothing works. Unsure why I expected anyting else. I'm sure its because my prompt wasn't good enough :D.

Way to start a Monday! A data breach that contains no less than 1.96 billion email addresses. That's not a tiny one is it! This is obviously containing passwords from previously breached accounts. Time to double check if you have old passwords in use!

Asked Claude to make my 100%, no thoughts given, #kotlin dekstop crossposter web compatible and so far I'm impressed. The thing actually runs, and looks the same! Now, it's most likely nothing _actually_ works but I'm still genuinely surprised. Let's see!

After over 20 years of faithful service, I have the deep regret to announce that my inline skates have given up the ghost. Farewell, you will be missed. Also, darn Salomon is a good brand!

Best of both worlds, cocktail and coffee in one!

Today is a "I got time to write some code" Sunday and darn that feels good once in a while :).

Just lost one of my kids. Can you help me find it? Last time I saw it it was dressed as a 🌈🦄 unicorn

The spam situation on #meetup is getting completely out of hands. The same message in all groups, always from the same generated people, but I also now see hostile takeovers from inactive meetup groups. This is totally fine!

It’s never too late to be 15 again! ❤️

Today is the best day of the year for a #java developer here in 🇳🇱, because it’s the day of the best conference ever: JFall!! #JFall is so much more than a conference, it’s a gathering of friends and a proof that the jvm ecosystem is well alive and thriving over here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Confused as to why my 🇫🇷 and 🇳🇱 Youtube channels all started speaking 🇬🇧 all of a sudden, until I realized Youtube started automatically dubbing all videos. Thanks, but I can speak several languages, I WANT to listen to other languages. How much compute power is getting wasted with this WTAF?

Good folks in my network, I’m searching for as speaker to talk about their use of GitHub copilot for our internal monthly #meetup. Next session is November 12th, 11:00. Do you have interesting insights, guidelines, or can you share your company’s best practices please hit me up! ❤️

Amazon going all Duolingo on me in the morning xD.

Companies have become so used to taking us like nothing more than just a revenue stream, and not customers to provide value to...They're not even ashamed of it any more. This is why I have not bought a single samsung appliance in the past 5 years arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Welcome back Julien, hope you enjoyed your vacations 🏖️🎉

Made a small change to my blog post after receiving an insghtful email from a reader ☺️. Thanks Mikołaj!

Starting reviewing the proposals for the next edition of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com, from the Canary Islands. Those notes will have a taste of holidays 😬. The CFP is still open folks so send your proposals now! https://vdams26.cfp.dev/

With every single app integrating their own AI capabilities, is there any chance we can converge to a single "use AI" / "use AI chat" button for UIs? Just like we did for save, print and all the rest? I'm losing it at some point 😬

I had the weirdest #ios #bug this week. The "i" letter wouldn't show up any more on my homescreen, or overlay widgets . . . except Spotify! No issues with the large "I". No problem on the phone itself. Gosh I love software 😅.

I wrote about it a few years back, for community work consistency is paramount. Our #meetup group reached 4200 members today, that's quite the milestone given this is a purely organic community. Here's to 5K soon! www.meetup.com/tech-...

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!

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
