Okay the move is done (for now) I'm now located in Berlin.
So if you're into #flutter, #tech, #food or just have a good vibe. Hit me up! I know already a couple of good places, but I'm of course open for suggestions.

Ich sehe das ja nicht so kritisch wie Florian Klenk. Wir alle betreiben Medien, angeblich soziale, aber jedenfalls Medien.
Diese Tipps sind sehr gut und richtig.

🤔 Met a junior dev at a meetup this week getting actual training (no 'just ask ChatGPT').
First since 2022.
It's got me thinking about the pipeline—if mentorship becomes rare, what happens in 5-10 years? Curious what others are seeing.

My new laptop has an NPU 🤖
Naturally, I had to try running an LLM locally.
Now I’m wondering — apart from privacy 🔒, what use cases would a local LLM be better for compared to a cloud one?

I need to get a new phone, and somehow I don't want any of the available ones.
Makes me wonder what a Linux phone by @tuxedocomputers.bsky.social or @blog.system76.com.web.brid.gy would look like.
I mean I'd buy that!

I'm stepping outside my comfort zone and doing my first-ever live stream with live coding on Wednesday. I will be building a real-world app with Flutter and Serverpod. It's been top secret until now, but join in if you want to find out what it is or show some support.

When people from 🇦🇹, 🇩🇪 or 🇨🇭 ask me:"Have you adjusted to living in the Netherlands?".
My answer is:"I can walk by that sign without laughing!"
To all non German speakers:
"Huren" is the dutch word for renting.
But has a very different meaning in German!
