Exactly three week ago, I shared how we significantly simplified the code of one of our applications by using 𝟴𝟴% 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁-𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲, presenting it on a big cinema screen at Webdevcon and the Dutch PHP Conference. It was a blast!

In less than three weeks, I'll be speaking at BASTA! – the conference for .NET, web, and AI innovation. 🎉 And what better talk to give than our Schrödinger’s App, which can exist in both a monolithic and microservices state simultaneously. I'm really looking forward to it! Will I see you there?

2025 was my most active public speaking year to date, and I still feel proud and grateful for every event I was invited to.
Finally found the time to open-source and publish our design system, which we use for quickly building simple UIs. 👉 github.com/MaskingTechn...
A new "Getting Started with Jitar" video is out! 🥳 In this video, we show how to secure a full-stack application running on Jitar using its built-in security features and middleware. #fullstack #security #webapplications #softwarearchitecture #softwaredevelopment

"Now we have AI, do we still need to hire experienced developers?" With modern tools everyone can "code". Within the right context, that's perfectly fine. Outside that context, it's a risk. [graphic created by author with GenHI] #hiring #developers #ai #vibecoding
Beyond architecture, the programming paradigm we choose shapes how easily we can write, maintain, and evolve code. In the article, I share a simple, rule-based framework we use to blend paradigms for creating code that’s easy for humans to understand and maintain, yet ready for AI support.
From OOP to OOPS: Escaping the One-Paradigm Trap
Programming paradigms aren’t silver bullets. So, how to pick the right one? You simply don’t.

Just released the next "Getting started with Jitar" video 🥳 In this video, we show how to scale a full-stack application using nothing but configuration, thanks to Jitar’s services. Scaling your app has never been this simple. #fullstack #softwarearchitecture #softwaredevelopment #scalabilitytrap

@petermasking.bsky.social and I are creating a new version of our #jitar introduction video. It's fully generated from Google Slides with a few #python scripts that transforms the slides into an animation and add a voice-over using #ai This is what we have so far...
Yesterday, @basmasking.bsky.social and I returned from the What The Stack Conference (@wts.rocks) in Skopje, carrying home great memories and new connections. 🙏 The audience was full of energy, which made it a real pleasure to speak to them, even right after a fantastic lunch!
Continuing animation: zooming into the runtime to see inside.
I love abstractions, but I also fear them. Good ones reduce complexity, while bad ones add it. Telling them apart isn’t always easy, so avoidance is the widely accepted guideline. Since I couldn’t find a practical, unified source, I decided to create one. levelup.gitconnected.com/cut-the-abst...

Today in the airport bus I shot this picture for @kevlin.bsky.social day. A few days late, but still worth it in my opinion. #kevlinhenneyday

Just finished the slides for my talk at the Tech Internals Conference on May 26th in Berlin!
Next month, I'll be speaking at the @javascriptcon.bsky.social in the beautiful city of London! 🥳 I couldn't be happier—this is the conference for fullstack JavaScript development, making my talk, "𝗗𝗲𝗳𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗿ö𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗽" a perfect fit. Hope to see you there!
It's always fun to look at old commit messages 😂 Can you still remember what you were working on 10 years ago?
Still in #AI mode... Just imported a simple neural network that @basmasking.bsky.social and I built in Java from scratch 11 YEARS AGO — and it still works without a single modification! 🤯
