A great talk at the Meeting C++ conference from @fbuontempo.bsky.social about learning, accompanied by citations from great sci-fi writers William Gibson @williamgallo.bsky.social and Neal Stephenson. A lot to learn and re-read!

On using astral #uv to build binary distributions - an OSS example with timezonefinder. A big challenge for Python maintainers is how to build and package a Python binary distribution. How to do it with the UV package manager while following modern pyproject standards.

Time to upgrade an ageing Jenkins CI pipeline with a lot of plugins and ancient JDKs on agents? It could become complicated! Here is how I approached it and what I learned about the ecosystem.

Just returned from the @cpponsea.bsky.social conference in Folkestone. It was a great experience to listen to interesting talks, meet great C++ speakers in person and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere (remember the Pacman rule). Thanks to the organisers and all the participants!

A great developer conference should include a retro computing talk. @matt.godbolt.org is speaking on ZX Spectrum emulation using ultra-modern C++ at #cpponsea 2025! @cpponsea.bsky.social

I was so glad to see Java 1.5, which felt like a totally new language. Tons of things have changed since then.

bsky, let's start with some memories. Exactly ten years ago, we were celebrating the #RustLang 1.0 release with a small but spirited user group. Mozilla kindly sent us t-shirts that have lasted so long, thanks to great design and safety features, just like Rust itself! #10YearsOfRust
