To prevent loosing another hand again, the Flaky Test Monster got an upgrade. A steel skeleton and weapons. Beware ! Meat the Flakinator! Colored by my daughter.

The Elastic DataDiscovery party in Las Vegas, 3D printed. This way also folks that were not abled to travel to Vegas, were part of the team foto.

When you ask AI to render a Fantasy Barbarian, autocorrect objects, and you get a .... Bavarian 😂

Introducing the Flaky Test Monster

There's an export to stl available. I printed myself (and a flaky test monster as support in this image, because my figure has stability problems) with resin, very fine, very small (that's a Macbook in the background). It's unbelievable what's now doable with all this great tools.

If Lego is preferred, here we go :) www.tripo3d.ai/app/model/35...
There's also a button to animate the figure, I guess I needs to watch more Lego Movies. Fun artifact detail also, the back clothing mirrors the front of the figure :)
But it could also be a new idea for syntax.fm swag :)

@syntax.fm @wesbos.com @tolin.ski Great episode about 3D printing! One thing that I found useful to convert 2D pics into printable 3D www.tripo3d.ai
With a bit of pre-preparation (convert pic to playmobil, lego, Minecraft ), the results are pretty good IMO, and one can export to many formats.

Prompt: "Show the DataDiscovery team preparing for their annual Elastic offsite. Take the GitHub/LinkedIn images of those fine folks, convert them to roleplaying figures ready to print out on in 3D"
There's a gap! Fill it by applying as JavaScript full stack wizard: jobs.elastic.co/jobs/enginee...

ES⚡QL token POCs

Spent the evening at the Happylab in Vienna practicing 3D printing tokens with my ES|QL logo variant. Was testing manual color changes with the Prusa MK3s . Every POC had flaws, but that’s how you learn. Test early, learn fast. And have fun!

Where do software engineering folks meet on weekends to brag when they switch from fighting bugs to fighting monsters?"
I bet "The Linked Inn" has good coffee and Wi-Fi!
