Superpowers come from recognizing what your vulnerability is, and @deanasolis.bsky.social's superpower is about quietly taking things in, and acting on what she's learned. Don't let it it fool you, because Deana is no pushover! Catch her episode out now!

Once upon a time, I wrote shitty prompts. I cried and cried because the LLM would not do my bidding. Then I learned how to write better prompts (and choose better LLMs), and all was well with the world. Learn from my mistakes so you don't have to suffer!

I Fought the Prompt, and I (Mostly) Won
How I stopped writing crappy AI prompts, and you can too!

Finally reaped the benefits of my strength training: "bench pressing" my carryon suitcase into the overhead bin in my last few flights felt like a breeze! 💪 🤣

I met @lisamarienamphy.bsky.social just as I was on my way out of All Things Open in 2023, and I'm sure glad that I did! Getting to hear Lisa's tech journey and all the things that she's done for the community, has been inspiring. Hope you're inspired too!

A year ago today I sprained my ankle at the #bouldering gym. It was a bad sprain that took a long time to heal, but I made it back to the bouldering gym, stronger, albeit more cautious.

@cloudnativebergen.dev day 1 included a very awesome and memorable hike up Mount Ulriken to get to the speaker dinner (winner for most creative way to get to dinner). I also loved getting to hang with Diana Todea, Imma Vallis, and @boredabdel.bsky.social, who is EVERYWHERE! 😁😁

New city == bouldering and bubble tea. It is the order of things.
This was THE most hole in the wall gym I’ve been to so far. You get to it through an underground parking garage. If I hadn’t asked for directions, I would probably still be standing there in utter confusion. But it was AWESOME!
