Yesterday, @basmasking.bsky.social and I returned from the What The Stack Conference (@wts.rocks) in Skopje, carrying home great memories and new connections. 🙏
The audience was full of energy, which made it a real pleasure to speak to them, even right after a fantastic lunch!

In two weeks, I’m honored to be speaking at the Digital Architecture Day event for the second time!
This time, I’ll introduce and demonstrate our adaptive architecture style that allows switching between a monolith and microservices without changing a single line of code.

I couldn't be happier—this is the conference for fullstack JavaScript development, making my talk, "𝗗𝗲𝗳𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗿ö𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗽" a perfect fit.
Hope to see you there!

It's always fun to look at old commit messages 😂
Can you still remember what you were working on 10 years ago?

Still in #AI mode... Just imported a simple neural network that @basmasking.bsky.social and I built in Java from scratch 11 YEARS AGO — and it still works without a single modification! 🤯

My very first "vibe coding" experience was actually better than expected. I only needed 4 prompts to make it playable:
1. Can you build a simple web-based Tetris game?
2. When I start the game, nothing happens.
3. The input is very slow.
4. The bricks get stuck above the bottom.

I'm working on new #AI training for developers, and today I spent some time crafting a simple explanation of the architecture behind LLMs. It's actually quite fascinating and impressive!
P.S. For the AI pros: feedback is welcome!

Today, it was my turn to speak at the Michigan Technology Conference, and I had a great time sharing our ideas on handling architectural uncertainty.
The audience was fantastic, and I received some really insightful questions! Once again, I'm very happy and grateful to be here. 🙏

STOP BUILDING APIs – That’s the title of my conference talk associated with this sheet. Although I had this internal discussion a long time ago, I believe it’s still relevant. Fortunately, there are great automation options available these days! #metaframeworks #apimediators #jitar

AI is a powerful tool for #developers, or is it? I use the usual suspects myself, but with so many options out there, I'm trying to figure out which ones are actually worth it. #fomo
So, I'm curious—what value does AI bring to your daily work? Do you see it as just a tool, or something more?

Great interview question about Jitar for an upcoming conference:
"A runtime that makes the code both monolithic and distributed sounds impressive. Where is the price for such flexibility?"
Nothing is perfect—there are certainly trade-offs when the development and deployment models are decoupled.

Today's reminder to myself: limit nesting…
I love structuring things, but sometimes I overdo it. I'm pretty disciplined about keeping deeply nested structures out of my code, but when it comes to creating folders, it's hard to control myself.

Last year, I proudly announced that I had been invited to speak at the very first Michigan Technology Conference. Now, I'm even prouder to announce that I've been invited back! 🥳
In my talk, we'll explore a world where the development model is separate from the deployment model. See you there?
