Moar pictures of the amazing location of this SAST conference while waiting for my Musical Keynote with @pejgan.se
Good morning Stockholm! Today will be an amazing day 🎵🎤🦄
Okay, memorising large chunks of my talks is still the hardest and least liked part of preparation (one might have to do with the other) Good thing I can't really do anything else while waiting at the airport.
I know some folx are surprised to see David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) publicly sharing statements that mirror the rhetoric of white nationalism. I am not. The writing has been on the wall for years.
The year is 2025, and some folks still take this to mean I advocate doing no up-front design thinking at all. * sigh *
Jason Gorman@jasongorman.bsky.social · 11mo agoThe year is 2025, and there are still folks saying that getting the design right first time is the better option over refactoring. Historical note: We actually tried that - gave it a real go - and that's why refactoring was invented, because it turns out we're not clairvoyant after all.
Little sneak peek of my practicing efforts... #DontGoBreakingMyCode #MusicalKeynote
Why repeat the things you already created when you can create something new instead? My dear friend @pejgan.se will soon be giving our Musical-Keynote again - but with new content. I'm so looking forward to Stockholm and Bilbao!
First tiny and unfinished bit of the "The Owl Problem- Director's Cut" is online. We had some technical problems during the show with the sound and way less video material than I hoped for, but I hope there will still be enough folks who can enjoy this. youtu.be/fpHuSX5Y4Tw?...

It's fascinating watching developers discover they get better results using "A.I." if they prompt with tests, work in small steps, test continuously, review and refactor throughout, integrate often, and work in smaller teams, and attributing those results to autocomplete.
When deep knowledge goes together with a native acting talent the result is the best keynote I ever seen:Trouble in The Old Republic. Congratulations @developer-sam.bsky.social: what you have done today at #apexconn25 was a real show with so much truth in it and with meaningful message. Thank YOU!

Memorising some critical parts of my upcoming keynote at the DOAG Apex Connect while waiting to get access to the Europapark 😎 #apexconn25 #ApexConnect25
I deliberately started to *not* listen to an audio book or podcast while doing my morning walks with the dog. Allows my thoughts to flow freely. It's been amazing.

After 2,5 weeks of near complete social media abstinency I come to the conclusion: I did not really miss something. Different to when I still was on Twitter (long, long ago). I won't draw conclusions from that, I just acknowledge it as a data point so far.
I'm a bit late to the game, but I also wanted to write a litte bit about this year's #agileTD. Once again it has been an incredible experience: Lots of learning & laughing, meeting old friends and making new ones! Some of my highlights: 1/n
Come on, folks, and join me: Who wants to be a "10x Ghost Engineer" on LinkedIn?
João Proença@jrosaproenca.bsky.social · 2y agoI'm now wondering who's the badass that's going to write "10x Ghost Engineer" on their LinkedIn profile.
I learned about "ghost engineers" - is that really a thing/phrase that's being used? And then I wonder what is a 10x ghost engineer?
Response to www.forbes.com/sites/josipa... I'm going to live tweet my responses & convert to a post afterwards.

Seems like it was the right move. I fulfilled my (low) goals, but did them in a way that I'm satisfied with the resulting quality. Now I even have some time and energy left to look for something else on-top.
Samuel Nitsche (he/him)@developer-sam.bsky.social · 2y agoFolks, today is a day for low goals. I mean - low goals and fulfilling them are better than high goals and fail them all, right? What do you think?

After many months of putting nearly all of my free time into the musical project, today might be the day where I allow myself to just go back to Valheim and enjoy myself 🙃
During Agile Testing Days 2024 I helped run a musical by people from the community for the community as a "professional slide switcher". I wrote down my experience - mostly as a reminder for myself but maybe it's interesting to some of you. tobiasgeyer.wordpress.com/2024/11/30/t... #AgileTD
The Owl Problem – a slide switchers perspective
Agile Testing Days 2023 was not yet over when Samuel approached me about helping him run a musical for ATD 2024. I immediately agreed to support him in any way he needs – under two conditions…
