Was designing a DB schema for my side project today. Made a simple sketch on paper like I always do, but then I got the idea to take a picture and upload it to Claude Code.

Lo and behold: Claude was able to create my entire schema in Entity Framework from just a simple sketch.

Life coaches, job coaches, business coaches, etc... Whatever you can think of, there's someone who can coach you. But when you look them up, they have zero relevant experience to what they're supposed to be coaching you on.

@buckleyplanet To be fair this is still very relevant for restaurant menus.

Been giving trainings to devs on how to responsibly use AI. People always ask: "How much productivity increase will we see?" Usually they just mean speed. But productivity = speed + quality. AI makes you faster yes, but without validation? You just ship garbage faster.

@Aaronontheweb Personally I love the simplicity of DbUp. Simple migrations scripts that execute in order. I

Thanks to Malmö and @oredev for the invite to the city hall tonight. Wonderful food, wonderful people and a great location. What more can you ask for?

[Niels Stubbe @NielsStubbe]

So I was wondering what this weird looking building was in Malmö, turns out it’s a water tower. Next Men In Black movie, this is where the aliens are hiding the UFOs.

Full house @oredev in Malmö Sweden today. Thanks to everyone for attending my session and happy refactoring to all 😉.

Feel free to approach me when you see me if you have any more questions or are simply up for a good conversation!

Writing C++ for an ESP32 board these past few days has made me realize how spoiled we are in web application development. Breakpoints for debugging? Nope, you'll use print statement and be happy with it!

[Niels Stubbe @NielsStubbe]

Tinkering with an esp32. This little board is pretty crazy. Low power consumption, Bluetooth, WiFi, … So many fun project ideas 💡

Getting ready to present at #dweurope as my first fully remote tech talk. Hopefully Murphy is merciful today!

And when there are results, it's max 2-3. Unless you feed it very specific words, then it returns about 6 with that specific word in it every time. The results are also absolutely terrible by the way. Might as well use a non AI-powered system.

[Niels Stubbe @NielsStubbe]

Gave https://t.co/UYdShGB2xN a shot to have AI generate domain names that are available. Of the 7 times I've asked to to generate something, already 3 times it just returned "0 results" but still uses one of the credits I paid for. Ridiculous.

@KarenPayneMVP I hate regions. Yes that’s the name of an actual extension.

It automatically expands all regions: https://t.co/whtRGSVt9b

It’s essential because, well… I hate regions.
