We keep giving AI the fun jobs (coding, writing, making art) while we are stuck with the shit jobs (laundry, code reviews, resolving merge conflicts) what a disaster

This has been a challenging talk to write, but I've been loving every second and I can't wait to step on stage to share it with you all!
Java: clunky, verbose…and still everywhere. Join @97adele.bsky.social at dev2next for a fun honest talk that dives into the quirks, the history, and the love/hate relationship devs have with Java ☕

It's amazing how many women love lifting weights and being strong once they get over the social programming of needing to be dainty. It's an act of rebellion in and of itself

Today at a tech conference a man asked me what I weigh.
Just came out and asked it!
And it was totally fine because he is a fellow powerlifter and we were discussing our best lifts
Context matters
Nothing is "good" or "bad". There is appropriate for the context and inappropriate for the context

I have short legs, so the temptation is to lower the seat
Rookie mistake
The goal is to train the rear deltoid. So the handles are best at shoulder height. This counterintuitively means the seat at max with a pad on top!
Don't sacrifice your goals to fit the tools. Make the tools fit your goals.

At 37, as a "tomboy" engineer that lifts weights, I am finally embracing the fact that pink is the best colour.
So I dyed my hair.
I have shunned pink my whole life as "too girly". Maybe it's just girly because we have better taste?
Internalised misogyny can come in the wildest forms

Romanian Deadlifts
I find these really challenging as I have limited mobility in my hips
I kept going, building my strength with "ugly" reps
Finally after 3 years they look good
100kg for 7 reps
You can make a tonne of progress with ugly. Don't let it stop you.
Applies to software as well ;)

It's kinda nice to "start over" on a new social platform.
On twitter I mostly binge-posted from tech conferences.
I keep my IG for my lifting stuff.
But on Bluesky do you want to see the lifting stuff too?
