It's always surprising to me how the solution "work's been exhausting today, I don't want to do sports" actually is "go do sports regularly anyways, because then work is less exhausting". Body first, mind follows. Have to reteach myself that once in a while.

Between the Spam, the constantly higher prices and the lack of actual valuable features; I think it might actually be time to let Meetup go. Especially since the market has good alternatives with traction those days. Farewell, you've served the community well but it's just time to let you go!

Nugget of wisdom about learning from HackerNews today : "One thing I wish this emphasized more is that adults often confuse learning with consuming material about learning, which is why my useful rule has become: if I'm not producing errors, I'm probably not practicing yet"

Ordered a new screen and the order has been blocked in "processing" for the whole week. Delivery date promised showing Monday on the website. Support says "usually happens within 3 days". After 3 days, orders from another shop. Same story. Now having 2 screen orders in limbo mode. Curse is real💀

We're planning to watch the 🇳🇱 game tonight together with the kids, and I feel like going through this day without knowing the outcome yet will be like walking blindfolded through a minefield 😅. Here's to hoping!

I'm looking into doing some redesign in my house and we've reached the point where there's so much AI online that I can't see any more what's possible to build and not. Another year and I bet there'll be a space for AI free content locations. AI has good use cases, this doesn't feel like it

So I've spent some time yesterday creating a Claude skill to do market research for all my little app ideas and rank them by opportunity. After looking at 250+ ideas the one that ranks highest is an app that uses AI to do market research for all little app ideas and rank them by opportunity 😅.

It’s this time of the year 😊. Always doing my best to join JSpring, a great java conference right in my hometown . Best way to see amazing speakers, exchange insights about new developments and stay In touch with the community . See you there! 🎊

It's been 12 times that I tell Youtube that I'm actually ok with listening to videos in their original language and that I didn't need auto AI dubbing. So I'm officially canceling my Youtube premium account. Was long overdue anyways. I can't believe this is actually something people would want.

You know that uneasy feeling about not knowing how to navigate your codebase after a few weeks away from it? With AI writing part of my code, I find that feeling to be 10x stronger on my projects, to the point that sometimes it's simply easier to rebuild the feature from scratch...

Baarle-Nassau is famous for its incredibly complex border with the Belgian municipality of Baarle-Hertog. The two towns are inextricably intertwined, forming a patchwork of 30 enclaves. The kids loved playing being in 2 countries at once 😛
