Did some quick winter pruning on some of my #bonsai (or, to be more precise, early-stage projects). But made no recordings, just a few quick cuts.
Maybe I'll shoot some new #videos in spring, when #repotting season starts.

The slides for my (English) #agile #austria talk about growing bonsai and what software development can learn from it are now online. Spoiler: It's basically feedback, iteration, continuous learning and small, simple steps.

Lauding men for believing they can “judge truthfulness” of an AI more than women, and suggesting this is a Skill gap women have let open up is the dumbest set of words I’ve seen in a hotly contested month.
I would say this findings shows women are more AI literate than men, because the majority of non-magical beings have no innate ability to "judge truthfulness"

This week, I used @emilybache.com 's "Pipeline Card Game" again to discuss trade-offs and other aspects of CI/CD pipelines. Highly recommended!

I'm wary of allowing Google's AI assistant to have access to a car's cameras, but who knows, maybe luxury EV buyers aren't?

I know it's crazy... but... I'm developing my own web framework. Again.
It's just for fun, though, and I feel like I'm learning.

It is likely that the tech industry has an active and growing methamphetamine problem, which is actually totally fucking obvious if you read anything coming out of the tech industry right now
“Nicotine pouches, which have grown in popularity in recent years, including among Wall Street bankers, have become a go-to stimulant for a subset of tech workers who claim the products help them focus and get through the workday, despite health hazards.”
