On Fabulab today I played around with using a custom MCP server from Copilot in IntelliJ && Visual Studio Code.
My hacky super simple MCP server could make a few API calls to our service (localhost only 😇).
It was ✨amazing✨ to experience how copilot got super charged for “my needs”.
Try it 🕺🏼🤠👌🏻
Excuse me all you real developers for I have Vibe Coded.
And I liked it 🤣
Travel day 👏🏻 - going for a 3-day seminar with my company (the LEGO group) 🕺🏼. More specifically my department OMP (hundreds of nerds)
I think we are going to learn about eachother and how to be amazing teams and colleagues 😂
Hoping for fun days at a very fancy hotel 🏨🤠
Still writing c# at work … still loving it 🤩
(Still a horrible newbie … but don’t take my joy away 😂)
Happy dolphin to all of you 👋🏻
Me outdoors on a sunny day, positioned near railway tracks. I'm wearing a light-colored cap with the word 'Red Hat' and a logo on it, along with glasses and a dark jacket with a hood. The jacket has a small logo on the left chest area. Behind him, there is a yellow triangular warning sign attached to a pole, and further in the background, there are some buildings and trees. The sky is clear and blue, indicating good weather.
Long day ahead. But totally worth it to see some of you at @devnexus.bsky.social this week! Can't wait! Safe travels y'all ☕️

Wild how the price of AI functionality that costs $$$ to develop and $$ to operate is being subsidized to zero - to gain market share.
By Google making this move: expect Microsoft to follow, and AI coding startups having little to no choice but to also offer generous free tiers.
Fresh Willem Dafoe vs. Lighthouse Willem Dafoe meme, labeled: - i'll just make a simple, lightweight sql library. how hard can it be (fresh) - this sql dialect does *what* with *what syntax*??? (lighthouse)
Me, when I started making jOOQ vs me today

Currently … needed to distract myself with something mindfulness ish … also then I forgot and wanted cake too 😂🤤
Tool Calling Java source code: --- class DateTimeTools { @Tool(description = "Get the current date and time in the user's timezone") String getCurrentDateTime() { return LocalDateTime.now().atZone(LocaleContextHolder.getTimeZone().toZoneId()).toString(); } } String response = ChatClient.create(chatModel) .prompt("What day is tomorrow?") .tools(new DateTimeTools()) .call() .content(); --- @thomasvitale.com
Spring AI has just released version M6, which includes the new tool calling capabilities and improvements that I have been working on over the past few weeks.

I hope you never need this, but it is now possible to move resources between AWS CloudFormation stacks, and to rename logical IDs:

Sooo the plans “we” had ended up well: a trip to the beach. Cold but nice. Also … cake and hot chocolate ☕️
Have the day off today. I wonder what to do… zero plans except training (running and some strength training) and hopefully cozy family time…watching a movie or two
But ofc my wife may have a lot of plans for me/us that I am yet to discover 🤪
A programmer is made up of:

1% writing code
9% reading code
90% trying to understand the code you wrote yesterday
Last night I wanted to build a small but useful feature on top of an existing codebase. I knew what I wanted, roughly where to change things.
A) Use an AI agent and spend an hour promoting and it will still get it wrong
B) Just code it in 5-10 minutes and get it right first
I did not know about that - will have a look - thanks 👌🏻
As a noob c# developer I must say I find the build system remarkably simple - at least for my use case until now.
I really like how I can just add targets that I can then call from the dotnet CLI. And even cooler; hook them into the build phase etc.
Pretty da** simple 🤠🤠👌🏻

✅ Had a great day hacking on some api stuff 🥳🤠. Also: Great food … but more importantly; fantastic company 🤗
Hacking on some C# today. Also …. We are treated nicely here … take a look at that lunch 🤤
Off to #getsmarterday 🤠
Meeting a nerdy network for a fun hackathon day 🥳🥳
Podman instead of Docker
www.thomasvitale.com/podman-deskt...
With a grain of #java. However you can easily see how Podman CLI (and Desktop) can help you with other dev languages too 👍🏻
Best day in a loooong time 🤗👏🏻
Team building day, quite literally 🤩 using The LEGO Bullder App, WAS a fun experience!

C# is pervasively used in my Company. But more specifically a lot in my department. Java is the outlier there in our current context. So we are mostly investing in C# skills to align (not forced btw; free will).
We have not rewritten Java to C#. But new services is built in it.
Great tech though👍🏻
Today we had a “C# Day” at work: just for my “Competency Group”. It was really awesome. There was a fun language quiz, discussions about what C# community we wanted (if any) and a mini hackathon with AI as a theme 🤗☕️🤠
Awesome day. I learned a lot and had a great time with C# gurus 👏🏻☕️☕️☕️
You can always spot a scam call from Google because real Google will never give enough of a shit about a customer to call them in the first place.
To all people that claim DeepSeek is amazing and it's over for OpenAI:
Have you actually used the model? 🤨 Because...
