Dante De Ruwe

Software crafter, speaker & consultant. I build software, ask why a lot, advocate for one more refactor and turn scars and lessons learned into conference talks

"You’ll leave with concrete ideas to write fewer, but far more effective tests."
That was the main premise of my latest talk, which I presented at DevSum and NDC Copenhagen this week. Recording coming soon-ish on YouTube. You'll find it at https://t.co/GKJ6nRYE8W too!

London! Tomorrow I'm giving a talk at #ndclondon about the Fun Parts of Advanced Typescript. Be there!

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Come see me at #devoxx BE tomorrow (Oct 9th), where I'll present alongside my @AE_NV colleague Bart. We'll explain how to tackle uncertainty with a modern approach in a conservative environment. Oh yeah, and some geeky technical stuff too. #conference

@shayrojansky @amoerie @TechoramaBE @coolcsh @jongalloway @jbogard @RockyLhotka I really agree with Alexander there. I love these talks that show a completely different side of the technologies that we work with every day. One of rhe higlights of the conf without any doubt!

[Dante De Ruwe @DanteDeRuwe]

Had an amazing conference day at @TechoramaBE. Some very interesting talks by some of my personal heroes from the #dotnet community such as @coolcsh @jongalloway @jbogard @shayrojansky @RockyLhotka Bart De Smet, and more.

Excited for day two tomorrow!

Speaking of personal heroes from the #dotnet community: I had the pleasure to finally meet the one and only @nickchapsas on the conference floor today. We had a nice chat about, among other things, his "YouTube thumbnail face".

Really looking forward to his talk tomorrow!

54 years ago today, #Apollo11 launched…Eagle soaring from Earth atop the Saturn V, bound for the Moon. It seems like only yesterday that we embarked on the mission of a lifetime – a mission for all mankind, a mission I hope will continue to inspire well into our future.

I spent $44 billion for this app and now Lizard boy just decided to hit copy and paste.

It’s personal now.

See you in the cage, Zuck.
