As soft skills are important to me, I published a short post about what I learned about resilience recently: coding-with-lilla.blogspot.com/2025/07/buil...

This weekend I saw for the first time German military recruitment ads. It makes sense with the increased budget, I just did not expect to be reminded of it so directly...

On the train after #KubeCon. I am returning tired with a lot of new knowledge and experiences. I am still shocked by the amount of people - and now I know why I cannot follow all the new releases. No way I can keep up with 12K people! 😂

Tech and sci-fi in a beautiful room. Loving rejekts this year :)

On my third coffee today - I have so much energy, but I also have to remind myself that we don't deploy on Fridays!

Just spent around two hours with Cursor building a portfolio website. Started off in OpenAI for the initial schema and generated images using Microsoft Copilot. I have no AI experience, and I am super impressed by all I could achieve just by telling the tools what to do.

Heard at #FOSDEM "If the tax money is used for software, the public should be have to acess the source code". Couldn't agree more with this

#FOSDEM was fun this year as well. They even had bubble tea! 🧋 Feeling inspired to see what I can do with all the newly acquired knowledge! I especially loved learning about green energy projects, new EU policies and all the challenges the SBOM devs are facing

Programming languages: "We are just a way to operate computers in a way that makes sense to humans." Programming languages [takes a big joint hit]: "What if there were 5 kinds of nothingness?"

For those smooth brained among us :

I am learning about microservices at the moment. "A structure is stable if cohesion is strong and coupling is low."

since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.

When you cannot easily find the location of an event, but you get a nice hike out of it 😁

I have been told I look like Wonder Woman 💃

Pair programming is super useful. But my partner today is more interested in naps than code.

Don't underestimate the importance of having a colleague to vent to about work ☝️

Hey all, here is an entry about some common Go mistakes I've met: coding-with-lilla.blogspot.com/2023/10/go-b... Old post, I know, but still relevant.

Go Better Practices

I have seen a lot of Java/Python/C code written in Go. When you start off from a different language, all the freedom you receive seems dau...
