French financial newspaper Les Echos clearly shows their opinion (and possibly fears) of their owner LVMH this week: 4 stories against taxing the richest and for more austerity.

Usually their editorial articles are more nuanced and balanced (even though it’s a liberal newspaper)

Just visited (at last) the Soulages Museum in Rodez! Great to witness the evolution of the artist, in a beautiful building.
Extra bonus: the fantastic Café Bras on the premise 😋

Some serious Herbert Simon vibes during @cyetain.com closing keynote at #dddeu 2025!

Domain-driven Design’s magic is to convert complex problems into predictable, repeatable, orderly software - @settling-mud.bsky.social with @johncutle.fish at #dddeu

Thanks Tobias Goeshel for sharing your 4-month experiment of using AI agents to solve a domain problem directly! Lots of cues of what’s ahead of us, and all this thanks to last year @ericevans0.bsky.social talk! #dddeu

If software engineers had named the automobile... ...it'd be called PistonCrankshaftGearWheelAssembly 😂 - Gregor Hohpe #dddeu

And that’s a start of #DDDEU by @gienverschatse.com herself on the huge stage of the Antwerp Elizabeth Hall! 🎉 #ddd

It was a pleasure to be with you @ruthmalan.bsky.social today! I learnt a lot, got a lot of food for thoughts, took 12 pages of notes to revisit, in just one day. And we can see again in the coming days at #DDDeu!

ADRs come in series, like a Netflix series! We need to number them, reference prior episodes, check chronological consistency amd test them!
