I just got encouraged to re-submit my conference talks instead of creating new ones per conference. :mindblown

I am very doubtful this is QAs fault. This seems like a scapegoat was needed.

DJI Neo is such a nice and cool drone. Quick to deploy and use. Good enough videos and well thought out default modes.

Drawbacks are the noise (very loud), no SD slot and no collision sensors.

Probably one of the best beginner, vlogger drones currently on the market.

I’ve been experimenting with speech-to-text tools like Wispr Flow, then feeding the transcript into ChatGPT for cleanup. Works well for turning messy spoken thoughts into clear writing.

Me: So they just explain things?

ChatGPT: Not just explain—they also help fix problems, show cool tricks, and work with the sales team to help them win the sale. “Senior” just means they’ve been doing it a long time and are really, really good at it.

Me: Okay…

ChatGPT: A senior sales engineer is the one who shows them how the robot works, makes sure it does what they want, and answers all the tricky questions.

Me: What does a senior sales engineer do?

ChatGPT: Imagine you’re helping a friend sell a really cool, super-complicated toy robot. The people who might buy it don’t really understand how it works.

The edge of a phone falling on your face is pretty painful.

One of the best things about the Netherlands: „We only take card.“

Screenshot that shows a GitHub code review suggestion.

Making progress...

It is ridiculous how easy it is to build AI agents.

The longest task was actually getting the authentication for the GitHub app to properly work.

Now it is just a matter of using the right models and I will have a blog post agent that reviews my posts and helps me keeping them up to date.

Slack radar emoji – v0 by Vercel generate a radar picture that can be used in slack for a ping emoji

This is pretty mesmerizing tbh.

Obsidian Bases is such a great feature

I’ve used AI agents extensively for software development, and as AI agent workloads keep growing, E2E and visual regression tests are more important than ever.

Small update. Nozzle won’t get cleaned because it’s a high flow nozzle and way more receptive for clogs. Ultimately nozzles are regarded as consumables. I’m now changing to a nozzle with a larger diameter and hoping it will hold out longer.

Kicking off Vercel‘s Ship party in Düsseldorf by welcoming our guests in the blazing sun ☀️

Nevermind. After the first two test prints the filament broke and I had to disassemble the hotend to pull out the broken filament.

Going from a Sovol SV06 to a Prusa CORE One is like day and night. So much faster.

@Apple I bought a high-capacity iPhone because I don’t want to have too many optimized images and videos. Please tell me why I have 800 GB free space and only 24 GB is taken by the Photos app? This should be closer to 100 GB free space. And please allow us to set limits ourself.

Let’s not forget. A distance of around 180km takes 39m, which would take 2:30h by car. It also costed just 40€ for a reserved seat that I bought 40 min prior to departure.

Japanese Shinkansen is wildly efficient. Train arrives at 09:04. Everyone that needs to get off is off by 09:05. Then everyone boards within 1 minute and the train departs on time at 09:06.

„How good is your English?“ I am learning Japanese based on an English audioguide. 😅

API first. Everything else will follow.

Shift-Esc is the shortcut in Slack that keeps giving. It marks all unread messages as read.

What is everyone doing with old talks they are not going to do again on stage or that did not get accepted to a conference?

Write it out as a blog article?
Record it as a video and upload to YouTube?

Waking up at 4 to go to the airport is not nice. Not recommended.

The Duality of Apple:
FaceTime screen sharing with remote control? Absolute GOAT.
Apple Intelligence summaries? Absolute nope.

Amazing energy on stage everyday.

You can’t have enough backpacks.

Windows XP?! Nostalgia hits hard.
