This weekend I saw for the first time German military recruitment ads. It makes sense with the increased budget, I just did not expect to be reminded of it so directly...

On the train after #KubeCon. I am returning tired with a lot of new knowledge and experiences. I am still shocked by the amount of people - and now I know why I cannot follow all the new releases. No way I can keep up with 12K people! 😂

Just spent around two hours with Cursor building a portfolio website. Started off in OpenAI for the initial schema and generated images using Microsoft Copilot. I have no AI experience, and I am super impressed by all I could achieve just by telling the tools what to do.

Heard at #FOSDEM
"If the tax money is used for software, the public should be have to acess the source code".

Couldn't agree more with this

#FOSDEM was fun this year as well. They even had bubble tea! 🧋 Feeling inspired to see what I can do with all the newly acquired knowledge! I especially loved learning about green energy projects, new EU policies and all the challenges the SBOM devs are facing

I am learning about microservices at the moment.

Pair programming is super useful. But my partner today is more interested in naps than code.
