I love computer systems, moshpits and good food. Big fan of simplicity.

This mirrors the shift when digital cameras became widely available. Everyone was a photographer.

This isn't good or bad, it’s evolution.

Instead of gatekeeping, we need to adapt to a changing industry.
Execution is cheap, but expertise is premium.

Unpopular opinion:

Software development is following the exact path of photography. 📸

Thanks to vibe coding tools, the entry barrier is shrinking. You need less and less technical skill to produce visible results.

Do the results satisfy the requirements?
Yes, mostly.

Is the code good from a technical perspective?
Hell NO!
It's a maintenance nightmare waiting to happen.

Does quality matter?
If you need it done right, you'll get a professional anyway.

Let‘s see how the algorithm handles free speech when it comes to Elon memes

#ElonMusk

@Alice_Weidel @elonmusk Alice Weidel ist eine so gute Deutsche, dass sie es vorzieht in der Schweiz Steuern zu bezahlen.

Ich respektiere die Informations- und Meinungsfreiheit und mache selbst davon Gebrauch: Frau Weidel ist eine Rechtspopulistin ohne Lösungen aber dafür mit viel Lärm. Bravo.

[Pawel Strzyzewski @pawel_str]

@elonmusk Elon, you’ve crossed a line that you shouldn’t have crossed. The AfD is a right-wing populist nationalist party. Please inform yourself better before providing a platform to random political parties. You should handle your reach more responsibly.

How to remove joy from developer jobs:

- Let them mostly do estimates
- Deliver requirements and specifics through many different communication channels
- Avoid to understand the issue the estimate is about
- Try to reduce estimates through intense haggling

How to be happy:

Don't write fancy scripts in your CI/CD.

Don't customize Docker Images by installing packages.

Instead use specialized Docker Images and let them do that one thing that they do best.

Orchestrate the workflow and collect the artifacts.

Package and deploy.

Good advice on GitLab CI/CD scripting

SEO tip:
Invest your time in useful content instead of obsessing with core web vitals.

Technical SEO can't fix missing content.

Writing CI scripts without AI is nuts

[Pawel Strzyzewski @pawel_str]

People who fear AI tools the most usually are the ones that can’t figure out how to use them.

I’m tired of a digital society that’s mostly driven by fears and lack of knowledge.

[Pawel Strzyzewski @pawel_str]

Trying to optimize Gitlab CI jobs that are filled with "sleep 60" commands is rather difficult

@HumansNoContext Number 2. With the given information from the picture he‘s the only one that has a 100% probability of falling down if he continues his action.

[Pawel Strzyzewski @pawel_str]

Prediction: In a few years, the world will be divided into regions where AI usage is heavily regulated or where it’s free.

We'll relive everything we've experienced with data protection and labeling obligations in the last 20 years – but multiplied by ten.

It won't be pretty.

@housecor First sign of lacking knowledge about refactoring: the immediate desire to rewrite from scratch.

Learn your architectural and design patterns and refactor step by step.

[Cory House @housecor]

A messy coding environment is like a messy kitchen. The mess makes it hard to do good work.

Examples:
🚫 Unused files
🚫 Failing tests
🚫 Misspelled words
🚫 Commented out code
🚫 Lint warnings and errors
🚫 No consistent naming conventions
🚫 Console filled with warnings/errors
🚫 No clear organizational structure for files and folders

These things add noise and slow progress.
