Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86

He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Not sure how we went from "just provide a robots.txt if some content should not be indexed" to "all the traffic on the website is AI scraping".

Honouring the legacy of Margaret Hamilton, the pioneer who coined the term “software engineering.” Her brilliant priority-driven software helped keep the Apollo 11 computer running through critical overloads during its final descent, helping land humanity safely on the Moon. RIP.

Premature escalation is the root of all evil

The music industry still sells physical media (vinyl) for enthusiasts and collectors, who are willing to pay the extra cost. I always expected the game industry to follow suit. Disappointing move by Sony.

There's a lot of debate about the ethical use of #AI in graphic design and music, but it's comparatively quiet when it comes to AI in software development. Does that mean that, in the "is #programming art or craft?" discussion, the craft side has won?

Today I realized that a contract is just a model of the world expressed in natural language. Modeling contracts in software means creating a model of an imperfect model of reality. 🤯 A contract is both a real object and a model of reality. #ddd

Prompt engineering is the art of writing a prompt that gives me exactly the answer I desire — and postulating it as, "Oh, almighty AI has come to a conclusion." #ai #prompt

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Before you switch into weekend mode, here's a chance to revisit the thought-provoking sessions from DDD Europe 2023. Make sure you're part of the next conversation - tickets for 2026 are now available! 🎬 Watch: youtu.be/FzycqiJVioI

Dieter Rams - a German industrial designer - introduced his ten principles of good design in the late 70s. What amazes me is how well these principles can be applied to software design. My favourite one: good design is as little design as possible.

There is a common misconception about platforms as foundations. Foundations are static, need to be built in advance, and can't be easily changed. This misconception is especially widespread in upper management, enforcing teams to build a feature-rich platform before starting to work on products.

Found my most valuable (only valuable?) certificate in the basement: my LEGO Master Builder card, probably from 1988 or 1989. 😃 lego4scrum, I'm ready

Excited to head to Berlin this afternoon for my first #KanDDDinsky! Looking forward to an agenda packed with great talks and hands-on sessions #DDDesign

Maybe the insurance sector is particularly struggling to apply DDD principles because sharing (risks) is their business model and part of their DNA, so there is a trait to share everything. But sharing models doesn't work well for software development.
