There’s this “map” that @lexler.bsky.social shared which is quite helpful in the sense that it shows sort of how to explore this. Check it out: youtu.be/_LSK2bVf0Lc?...

Soooo, next week's #BEKUG is going to be ABSOLUTE FIRE, because we have Pim van Gurp delivering his talk "TypeSafe Tax Calculations" at DoubleVerify's Ghent offices.
Very hyped to see his talk and to see some new people join the community!

Soon it's time for the 3rd BEKUG MeetUp of the year!
This time at the offices of DoubleVerify in Gent.
Our guest speaker is making me nervous haha 😅, but we'll do an OpenSpace for sure. So there'll be plenty of good vibes going on!

…being told to write tests[…] is somehow an indictment of their programming skills. So fragile is the ego of many programmers. […]
2026, the same people are suddenly huge fans of the same practices they once dismissed, because now we're talking about verifying some dipshit AI agent's work. 👌👌👌
TIL!
New article!

Key to efficient learning is realizing how we ACTUALLY learn, not just what FEELS like learning. I wrote a Claude Skill for some friends to help them think about this and they've liked it -- see Principles for some directions you could explore

Gamer PTSD triggered toen Els het unbeatable level in The Lion King vernoemde. Dat was dan ook wel de énige correcte motivatie voor een genrieke AI gamer aid. Al de rest simpelweg niet mee akkoord omdat je jezelf ontzettend veel vreugde ontneemt van iets moeilijk te hebben gedaan maar te volharden.
What the fuck?!
What’s going on with Discord?
This Thursday is the first Belgian #Kotlin Meetup of this year @ DPG Media! 8 spots left!
Devs DPG will share how they have adopted #KMP in their iOS and Android apps, and after we’ll have an open space & networking event. It’s going to be super fun.

You “can” ask for “water from the tap”, which should be free, but nobody does that and the waiter will probably give you a weird look.
That’s on you for ordering water, when you could’ve had beer for the same price!

Anders Sveen shows how the combination of HTMX, Ktor, and kotlinx.html can simplify full-stack Kotlin. A must-watch! https://kotl.in/7stxd6
YEEESSSSSS! My prayers have been answered!
Code first. Use ApprovalTests to catch yourself accidentally breaking the contract/schema. This way you don’t get handcuffed by code generation libraries.
