Today, I'm starting a challenge of posting every day for the next 100 days. I think I found a good way to be reminded and intimidated at the same time. WHO'S JOINING?☝️

I love when there's a reliable timeline of when the applied changes in a cloud environment will be active.

In honor of Google I/O starting today, I did my morning run in proper fashion. I don't remember which edition that shirt is from but I was organizing an Extended event that year and it was great. Can't wait to see the announcements today!

On my train ride back from a week in Amsterdam, I watched @karpathy.bsky.social's talk at Sequoia Capital about agentic engineering and had a few thoughts about it. I asked myself the question of...should we build more? stefanblos.com/posts/should...

Should we just build more? — Stefan Blos

Al is helping us be more productive, but the question is what should we actually do with it?

Appreciate the patience of our wonderful speakers because I am sooooo behind on editing videos. Here's world famous @stefanblos.com giving a talk.

Our expert speaker for Sept was Stefan Blos ( @stefanblos.com ) who gave the talk "Foundation Models Framework". Thank you so much for speaking to us Stefan! youtu.be/hs0xfx6p31k

Is this the last thing my bug-ridden self-developed side-projects see before Codex turns them into money-printing side-hustles? TBD.

my goals for December, what are yours?

Lovely when your TO-DOs and your Slack messages line up to form your birthday date. 🥲

One of the most powerful addition to LLMs are MCP servers and function calling in general. In this video, I'm explaining how to add them using the Vision Agents SDK. We'll use the @github.com MCP server and a weather API to demonstrate that (including me getting rained on). youtu.be/Jy7cq3RjjRU

Yes, half the internet is down, which is problematic. But all I'm worrying about TBH is that I might break my @duolingoverde.bsky.social streak...

Not every year is a year of progression. I'm not ashamed (that's a lie) that this year I've crushingly failed at a very important thing! Today, in the car, my daughter started (OUT OF NOWHERE) playing Last Christmas before I could stop her. It happened, we talked about it, life goes on.

Since I'm working more with #python lately, I wanted to have a clean linting/formatting setup. Here's what I have in my settings.json in @vscode.dev / Cursor (big fan of ruff by Astral), anything I'm missing?

That first cup of coffee back home after a trip just hits different. ☕️

I have to say that I think Replit has been cooking with their vibe-coding UX. Proper planning vs. building; secret handling (well-integrated); editing certain UI-elements only; integrations with DBs, Auth, Git, and more. Well done and kudos to the team! 🙌🏻

Finally, I no longer only have the case at home. Curious how this'll hold up. The phone is indeed quite orange, but upon first impression, I really like it.

🎓 Reasoning models have been one of the biggest innovations in LLMs in the past years. In this video, we take a look at: 🧐 how they work 🤔 how they differ from regular LLMs 🚅 how they are trained 🤯 how to get the most out of them youtu.be/lyEZG3Y614o

I'm really looking forward to this! It'll be purely coding-focused and it includes my favorite trick that is (at least to my knowledge) completely underused in the latest Xcode releases! Also....it's always worth joining for the community aspect! Who's in? 🙋

Curious about the Foundation Models framework? Our next expert speaker is @stefanblos.com , who will be giving a talk about it *tomorrow*. Sept 20, 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 UTC! #iOSDevHappyHour idhh-sep2025.eventbrite.com

Looking forward to showing how to "Add video calling into an app in just 30 minutes" for the @revenuecat.com #shipaton2025 livestream. We're using #SwiftUI and doing some nice Liquid Glass animations while we're doing it. Join in just under 2h to take a look and follow-along!

I want to start a new weekly series here called #ToolTipTuesday. I've been doing that for a while on Instagram and TikTok, but wanted to move it here as well. For the first post, I'm covering the great UX site lawsofux.com 🧵 (1/11)

It's been a while, but I finally got back to continuing the "AI for Good" specialization from @deeplearningai.bsky.social on Coursera. It's so much fun to explore more about how to leverage the incredible powers that we are given with AI and how we can use it for good things.

AI is evolving fast, and one of the most interesting things lately has been MCP servers.🤗 But what is the Model Context Protocol that @anthropic.com pioneered and is becoming an industry standard quickly?🤔 Learn about the basics and building a simple server! youtu.be/Dkmfvfr1L4I

Last night was really clear sky and I was able to snap this picture out of my window. Not using a tripod, only with my phone. Which - I think - is just incredible.

Perfect way to start 2 weeks of PTO. Kiddo at a sleepover and getting up early for a morning ride! 🚴

Building a popular platform like Twitch requires a lot of thought and features. In my latest video (which takes “just” ~5h 🤯), we take on this journey. Follow along for a fully-functioning livestreaming + chat implementation with @clerk.com and @supabase.com . (Video + Repo in 🧵)

What’s a daily routine that you’re sticking to, that has a positive impact?

I'm pretty sure which of these drivers knows the fastest route to the finish line! #TourDeFrance2025

A while ago, I helped to build a few @firebase.com extensions. They are an underused tool that can be incredibly helpful. Learn to avoid building a custom server in a chat app using iOS and #SwiftUI (same principles apply to all other platforms). youtu.be/ajlNzE6d9Hg

Just very innocently leaving my morning coffee here. ☕️ Have a great day, everybody! 😇

I really love Strava, but for this one, I need to call the design police! 👮
