Yet another #tieday today. Third time with a tie this week due to CLC conference in Mannheim.

Apparently you can wear a smartwatch through the airport security check, but not a tie clip 🙂

I caught Claude Code "lying" to me this morning.

This is a gentle reminder that while these kinds of tools are both capable and useful, they are also incredibly flawed and lack any kind of actual intelligence.

Day two of Newcrafts, a proper #tieday!

Started the day with a morning run around the Eiffel Tower and now I'm at the conference sporting a Trinity knot.

Last day in Paris before I go home to Sweden tomorrow.

In Paris today for Newcrafts where I held a TDD-workshop in the morning slot.

Good times and now I get to enjoy the rest of the conference in peace 😁

I think this tie is still my absolute favourite and it really shines in the Haddon knot.

Time for another #tieday. Went a bit advanced with an Intrinity knot today. It's essentially a Penrose knot tied on top of a Trinity knot - long ties only 😅

Neon Oni's latest new album Nihilism is blasting out of the speakers today.

Bonus pics from TDC in Trondheim where I was on Monday.

Time for another#tieday again. The beard is getting a bit long so I'm off to trim it (and the hair) in an hour.

Tie is tied in a Rachel knot, named after the inventor's wife.

Have a nice day!

Friday is here, the sun is shining, the trees are getting colourful, Vintersorg is playing in the headphones and the necktie is tied in a Haddon knot..

I'm having a fantastic #tieday, hope yours is equally good!

I published a crate for converting between time representations in different crates.

Short tie for #tieday today so went with a Trinity knot because in doesn't use that much material.

Time for another #tieday. Sporting a Truelove knot today. As far as I know it has nothing to do with true love. It just happens to be the inventor's surname.

Does anyone know what this prompt actually does? It doesn't seem to be keeping me signed in since I last signed in a few hours ago...

#tieday in Borås today. Me and two of my colleagues are attending a conference about digital product passes in textile. Very exciting since I know practically nothing about this.

Oh and I'm sporting an Eldredge knot today. The tie is from Stenströms, but that's as much as I know about its origins.

Oh my, is it Friday again already? I guess that means time for another #tieday.

Found a new knot today: KES knot (courtesy of Mr. C's Another Knot). I rather like it.

Which one's your favourite?

Today's #tieday together with my colleagues in Karlshamn.

When coding with agentic AI I feel I'm missing out on the inherent design review that comes with writing APIs and structuring code. Just reviewing generated code doesn't trigger the same reflection on the design as writing it myself - and I don't just auto-accept changes without review

Vacation is over and I'm back at work. That means that I'm wearing a necktie for today's #tieday!

Eldredge knot.

One of the worst parts about working with coding agents is that they don't learn anything.

I'm giving my highly appreciated workshop on TDD at NewCrafts 2025 in Paris on November 3-7.

Will I see you there?
July 31, 2025 at 10:03 AM
Last day before vacation and it's a #tieday. Got one day to calm down tomorrow and then we're taking the ID.4 on a road trip to Italy.

See you in 5 weeks 😁

Consistency in your APIs matters. Inconsistent naming and a lack of conventions increase cognitive load and can be a source of footguns.

I'm going to call out Microsoft's provided tasks in AzureDevOps as a bad example of this (the same goes for much of Azure, by the way).
July 1, 2025 at 6:25 AM
There have been a few Friday's lately that coincided with public holidays or parental leave so I haven't posted any neckties for a while.

I'm back today with a Trinity though!

Next week will be my last #tieday before I go on vacation so I'll have some extra for then 😁

When using #CodingAgents for #SoftwareDevelopment, remember to snapshot often (then rebase everything into neat commits once you're ready).

Also, be aware of the sunk cost fallacy; sometimes it's better to abandon and start over instead of trying to prompt your way out of a rabbit hole.
