"Wisdom is finding the right balance between having confidence in what you know and leaving enough room for doubt in case you are wrong" - Karl Weick

For the past 1 - 2 years, I've been getting several phones calls a day with a +44 indicator. They're _always_ cold calling, to a point where I don't even answer any more. Considering blocking the indicator altogether. Has the UK always been the main source of phone SPAM?

I love to teach the kids by combining tech and history. This is the Effelsberg radio telescope in Germany. The dish is 100m wide and was buily 1972. Back then, it was the largest of the kind in the world. The kiddos loved learning that a lens isn't the only way to look up :)

Woke up to this this morning : www.youtube.com/watc.... I can relate quite a bit, the adaptation can feel rough at times. At days it feels like the whole AI movement as an pasisonate engineer is like watching your house burn, but also partly enjoying the warmth and scenery it creates.

Me : I should really look into reducing my dependency to the US! Let me try and use Mistral instead of Claude and see what happens. Mistral, within 10 minutes : Creates a branch, a PR, directly force pushes to main, closes the PR. "Oops". Back to Claude it is!

Learning at #vibekode today! Don’t trust the name of the conference 😬, everyone around talks about predictability, scalability and factories. Extra kudos to Adam Bien; with a great talk around what he does best: remove all the fluff and achieve maximum performance using few sound principles. ❤️

From coding all day to managing features in hours 🚀 Maestro lets AI agents build in parallel while YOU stay in control. #AIAgents #DeveloperTools

First time playing DnD with the kiddos :D. 10 year old went for a Paladin, while the 5 year old went full pyromancian. Why am I not surprised xD

So far the only change I've seen from trying out Linkedin premium for a month is an alarmingly increased amount of spam. Multiple daily emails, each providing exactly 0 value. Pretty sure what my next step is.

Started #bouldering again after having to stop for 2 years due to an injury and I can't use Apple Touch ID any more. A detail I had forgotten 😅.

Third day today that I'm forgetting to drink a coffee I'm making. How's your day going? :D

It's always surprising to me how the solution "work's been exhausting today, I don't want to do sports" actually is "go do sports regularly anyways, because then work is less exhausting". Body first, mind follows. Have to reteach myself that once in a while.

Between the Spam, the constantly higher prices and the lack of actual valuable features; I think it might actually be time to let Meetup go. Especially since the market has good alternatives with traction those days. Farewell, you've served the community well but it's just time to let you go!

Nugget of wisdom about learning from HackerNews today : "One thing I wish this emphasized more is that adults often confuse learning with consuming material about learning, which is why my useful rule has become: if I'm not producing errors, I'm probably not practicing yet"

Ordered a new screen and the order has been blocked in "processing" for the whole week. Delivery date promised showing Monday on the website. Support says "usually happens within 3 days". After 3 days, orders from another shop. Same story. Now having 2 screen orders in limbo mode. Curse is real💀

Me today

I promise you KLM, this is my last name. And it isn’t even that complicated. I like that they tell me what a name should be made of 😅

Color me surprised :). Turns out somehow my info is part of the main models training data. I expect most of us to be. What is more worrying though is that there are some serious hallucinations going on. How many people think I'm actually a politician ? 😊 www.intheweights.com

I'm looking into doing some redesign in my house and we've reached the point where there's so much AI online that I can't see any more what's possible to build and not. Another year and I bet there'll be a space for AI free content locations. AI has good use cases, this doesn't feel like it

Rooting for two countries :). #france #netherlands. Que le meilleur gagne

Past the announcement itself, which looks pretty interesting what I find most insightful is that this new tool making #1 on HackerNews today announces support for #kotlin, while #Java is not even mentioned. I think it's a first? Is the landscape changing for good? www.iroh.computer/bl...

So I've spent some time yesterday creating a Claude skill to do market research for all my little app ideas and rank them by opportunity. After looking at 250+ ideas the one that ranks highest is an app that uses AI to do market research for all little app ideas and rank them by opportunity 😅.

I'm alone home and painting the stairs this weekend and I'm facing the hard choice of locking myself up with the computer, or locking myself down with food and beverages. Cruel choice!

It’s this time of the year 😊. Always doing my best to join JSpring, a great java conference right in my hometown . Best way to see amazing speakers, exchange insights about new developments and stay In touch with the community . See you there! 🎊

Typical Saturday morning 😁. Morning you all! 🏑

It's been 12 times that I tell Youtube that I'm actually ok with listening to videos in their original language and that I didn't need auto AI dubbing. So I'm officially canceling my Youtube premium account. Was long overdue anyways. I can't believe this is actually something people would want.

Now, that's new but I have to admit that's kind of a fun one :). #3dprinting
