This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂

One more reason to keep all my house appliances as dumb as possible. Annoyingly, it's increasingly hard to get "not-smart" versions of everything.
Why would I want my treadmill or washing machine to fail without an internet connection?
It's more than enough trouble that they need electricity.

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week.
After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject.
