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!

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!

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... <3. Man OSS is awesome

Don't forget to pee in your shower to reduce your footprint my folks! Great idea <3
I Powered My House Using 500 Disposable vapes
Build smarter with JLCPCB — one-stop service for PCBs, 3D printing, CNC, and more.: https://jlcpcb.com/?from=cdd
Turns out the rechargable batteries inside these "disposable vapes" are actually really capable.... but are they capable enough to power an entire house?

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.
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!

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!

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!

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!

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! ❤️

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...
Samsung makes ads on $3,499 smart fridges official with upcoming software update
Update introduces two ways for the fridges to show ads.

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 😬
