Recovering from long covid/dysautonomia is so interesting. What do you mean it's Saturday, I feel good, I have no urgent tasks I didn't have the energy to do during the week, I don't need to stay in the vicinity of a bed at all times? I'd actually like to go outside, for no reason? Mind-blowing.
First conference of 2026 🎉 Thank you #VDZ26 ☺️ Continuing my intrusion into the Java community with cloud talks 🤭
Tech conferences are not only about tech 😏 There are still humans behind the scenes, and those humans have those things called bodies that need maintenance #VDZ26
Breakfast in Warsaw, before making my way to another Polish city called Chelm, where I catch the 21-hour-long train to Kharkiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦 This journey started at 10am yesterday in Tbilisi, Georgia, and will end tomorrow at 2PM. A long long trip to see home ❤️
A special package arrived today with Google Developer Experts swag! I've been seeing all of my GDE friends receive theirs one by one, and now I can rock mine too 💃 Love it. And the t-shirt is made from organic cotton - really nice to see more sustainable materials used in campaigns 🍃
Google Cloud Summit in London starts (criminally) early with a Google Dev Experts and community organisers breakfast with Jeanine Banks and @uhoelzle.bsky.social ✨
Day 3 of #GooglelOConnect: GDE Summit! ✨💕 #BuildwithGemini #GoogleDeveloperExperts #GDESummitEMEA2025

Yoga instructor: "The next few minutes are for you to consciously be still in your body and mind" My mind, immediately: "Ok so if we invite Ukrainians for a hangout on Friday..."

Yep, it’s awful. I wrote this up last year and I fear it’s only going to get worse! beny23.github.io/posts/spearh...
AI is the enshittification of recruitment
I. Want. To. Scream. Not so long ago, I reviewed about 1,000 CVs (resumes). 500 for a frontend developer position, about 500 for a backend developer position. You might think I was crazy, why don’t I ...

You know what hits me? The fact that so many creators, artists, fashion influencers, who have NEVER posted anything political, who are not remotely related to Ukraine, are posting support messages for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. It's mind-blowing. Everyone's outrage gives me hope.
I got the Evangelist award at the company off-site in New Orleans 😍 For doing all the conferences talking about the technological solutions we build at Zencore 🥰
Our conversation will be on @ukrinstitute.bsky.social YouTube channel soon. In partnership with @uclssees.bsky.social. Photos by @ngodec.com. Order 'Intent to Destroy' here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eugen...
Prof Eugene Finkel: As I was writing my book in summer 2023, I would wake up and hear the news about what Russians are doing in occupied Eastern Ukraine, then read through historical papers of WWI and see the exact same things, to the t, that they did in the occupied Austro-Hungarian territories.
Had to cycle through Whitechapel today and now have a strong urge to go somewhere pretty and nice, just to balance the experiences... 🫣
Just packed my handbag collection for the upcoming house move... They took an entire huge box 😱 I guess it's good that I'm into mini handbags, it could have been worse 😂
A wonderful piece of good news to help me battle with a nasty flu - I've been recognised as Most Active Speaker of 2024 by @sessionize.com 🎉 Last year was pretty spectacular! Really grateful for all the experiences, opportunities, and connections it brought ❤️
Morning walk in Barcelona - winter solstice being so close means I can see the sunrise without waking up specifically to see the sunrise 🌅
I always found it ridiculous when people book a flight they don't need, in business class, specifically to reach a higher tier of membership with the airline. And here I am, 50 points away from Silver, looking at business class tickets from Barcelona to London just to reach the status 🥲
My new favourite thing about working in a distributed European team is translating British to my European colleagues 😂
