Pro tip number 714: do not buy new Sony full-sized headphones, just change the ear pads on your current ones. Amazon has plenty of them. Thank me later.

🔦 Tool Spotlight – Docker Model Runner – an easy and fast way to run LLM models locally or in CI. Curated list of LLM models to use as simple as "docker model run", or through "chat/completions " for models compatible with the OpenAI API. bit.ly/43uqoIh bit.ly/4mqPJv0

🔦 Tool Spotlight: Simon Willison's "llm" CLI.
Game-changer for my PR workflow! I pipe git diffs to analyze changes, generate descriptions, and get a concise result without leaving my terminal.

"cat changes.diff | llm -t pr-description"

Saves me like 20min per PR. Try it!

AI-hype train is unstoppable! 🔆 Tool Spotlight: kubectl-ai - AI-powered #Kubernetes agent. It works as a standalone tool or a plugin for kubectl. Made by Google and works with different AI providers! But not an officially supported product and without Claude (for now?). bit.ly/44SKfD0

Super excited about my upcoming talk at UXDX next week! If you will attend the conference, drop me a message here — I'll be happy to connect! #uxdx #techtalk #engineeringplatform #devops #platformengineering

🔦 Tool Spotlight: Apparently, GitHub Models service provides FREE access (rate limits apply, though) to a few popular AI models, incl GPT-o4-mini, for experiments and low-activity usage with GitHub CLI or API for anything else (including GitHub Actions). Go check it out! #github #aitooling #devtools

⚒️ Tool Spotlight:
Sequential Thinking MCP from Anthropic is quite a thing! And #TIL that you need to explicitly ask Claude to use that tool. This helps a lot with breaking down complex problems or branching into alternative paths of reasoning. bit.ly/3EO9eg7

It was 10:21, a cozy vintage cafe in a quiet neighborhood of Berlin, only three tables out of fifteen were taken. Yet one of the table was actively discussing the integration of MCP servers into their agentic startup 😀

Somehow, this playlist has recently become my "default music for work". open.spotify.com/playlist/0mn...

Check out Steve Huynh’s piece on PRODUCTIVE disagreements. Do you know that situation when "... well, If the team X wants it so much, so be it..."? This article won’t make that less awkward for you, but it helps you decide when to stand your ground and how to do it effectively.

Reading that article sparked a memory of my old “security hardening” work long time ago: a solid one-time fix that held up as long as systems stayed unchanged. Now, after a year in security automation, I’ve learned how crucial it is to make security reproducible and adaptable to everyday change.

#TIL There is this wonderful tool that exports all your Apple Notes into Markdown files, honoring the folder's structure and attachments — Exporter at macOS App Store apps.apple.com/de/app/expor...

Wow! Bunch of software installed on my Mac can be removed now 😀

#DevOpsDays #Berlin is kicking off with a bunch of excellent topics! Yes, this is happening in the church. So devops evangelism is serious. 😀

Hey, #Terraform Users! 🙌 I've recently explored #SAST tools for Terraform and wrote an article detailing their features, integration capabilities, and how they enhance security compliance. These are six tools from Checkmarx, Aqua Security, Tenable, Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, and Semgrep!
