Technical skills are essential, but what sets top engineers apart? It's charisma.

New week, new post! This time, I’m diving into how #AI will shape the way developers work—and why it’s happening faster than you think. Stay ahead of the curve! #Tech #DevCommunity
Been going down the rabbit hole of finding running apparel made in Europe. Willing to pay a premium, but does a cotton T-shirt really need to be 120€?
Eggplant and tofu Sichuan style
Mei Lin Sichuan in Helsinki keeps it simple—plain space, calm vibes, soft ethnic music. But the food? Bold, flavorful, and just the right heat. The eggplant & tofu Sichuan style is a must. No frills, just damn good food. Perfect lunch spot. #HelsinkiEats #Sichuan #TastefulWanderer
AI coding assistants are good... until they meet a codebase with no design pattern. It's like asking a GPS to navigate a maze with no exits. Bad code is still bad, and no AI can fix that mess... yet! 🤖💻 #CodeStruggles #AIProblems
Challenges with privacy-safe alternatives. Gmail: 15+ years, zero failures when I needed it. @ProtonMail: less than a month, one failure when I needed a link for a meeting. 🤔 #PrivacyIssues #TechWoes
Must be only in the US of A!
Let’s GO!
Of course I'm human! But if I were a bot, I'd probably say the same thing... 🤖😅 #DefinitelyNotABot #JustHumanThings
maybe i should write just in lower caps

We want technologies and products to be created, manufactured and marketed in Europe.
And we must act now.
Our new Competitiveness Compass is the plan for Europe’s productivity and growth. ↓🧵

Bluesky is built on the decentralized AT Protocol, giving me more control over my data and digital identity. No algorithm manipulation, ad-free, and privacy-focused. Perfect for those who value user autonomy! #Bluesky #Privacy #Decentralization
Seriously, @pinksky.app? You build on #atproto, a protocol all about decentralization and privacy, but then rely on Google Analytics? You couldn’t find a more privacy-focused alternative?
Looking forward to this.
About time!
One issue with ditching major social platforms: alternatives are expected to be free. Who will use @bsky.app when VC funds dry up or ROI isn't met? We must choose: pay with our data or our money. 💡 #SocialMedia #DataPrivacy #TechTalk
On a mission to switch to more open-source or European-based services! So far, I’m loving @bsky.app, @proton.me for email, and @firefox.com. Honestly, it’s not that the ones I used before were better—I just stuck with them out of habit. Time for a change!
Not long ago, I applauded AWS for how quickly they made Meta’s LLaMA model available post-release. Will they bring the same speed and accessibility for DeepSeek? 👀

Just verified!

It’s not Reddit revolting against X, it’s the people on Reddit. The power of the people is real—but let’s see how long it will last.

@bsky.app won’t thrive if it’s just a bubble for extreme leftist takes. When @github.com asks what makes open source successful and it’s drowned in anti-capitalist rants, it alienates the middle ground. Balance is the key to growth—let’s build, not divide.
A famous YouTuber goes out of their way to act kindly in public, knowing a brief moment could be the best in someone’s life. Meanwhile, others with massive influence spread harm, then blame the audience for ‘misunderstanding.’ Influence is a responsibility.
New from 404 Media: hundreds of subreddits, including some of the most popular, are considering banning all links/content/screenshots from X/Twitter. r/NFL, r/hockey, r/baseball, r/nba, r/formula1, r/ComicBookMovies, r/MadeMeSmile, so many more. Some already have. www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...
Built a service to fetch GitHub data: no API docs, no Googling, wrote maybe 10% of the code myself. AI dev tools aren’t coming—they’re here. And yes, they’re going to replace developers. #dev #ai
Go @sanders.senate.gov go!
