Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It In the era of A.l. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they're doing is deeply, deeply weird.
2014: Silicon Valley to journalists: “Learn how to code”
2026: About that.

True. I am still trying to figure out though what the factor of productivity gain might potentially be with the right tooling (so more parallel work can be done). And not for prototypes but real projects 🧐currently testing spec-kit, I really like it! What do you use for specs / context?
We are doing a spontaneous Bluesky Lunch Meet on Thursday at 12pm at Hanseviertel food court in Hamburg, in case you (yes, you) would like to join❤️. maps.app.goo.gl/EhdjYCowwGwm...
Just published a new section on my site to capture references to a lot of the essential web performance and fundamentals-oriented webdev resources I find myself continually directing folks to. Also, lots and lots of links to blogs I love:

"Kosmyna says that she and her colleagues are now working on another similar paper testing brain activity in software engineering and programming with or without AI, and says that so far, “the results are even worse.” 😱
If you are located in Hamburg and interested in GitLab: tomorrow the next #Gitlab meetup will take place: www.meetup.com/gitlab-meetu... see you there :)
Hi Peter, thank you, that would be great. I am currently in discussions with @tgoerke.bsky.social on how to proceed here. I will send you a direct message with my email address.
(Decentralized) open social networks seem to really get traction from developers now. One of the dominating topics during the Hackathoern at GWDG in Göttingen. But this time more focused on #nostr than #atproto
😂😂 it might also still contain errors, especially around labelers and the plc directory. But it’s a start 🙂
It is! And so many hidden stuff to find 😎
atproto architecture
After today's session, I created a simplified atproto diagram just for me. Maybe it's useful to somebody. Feel free to comment if you spot errors. Getting the arrows right is the hardest part 😂
First day ahoy conference in Hamburg over! Learned many new things about ATProto like sidecar metadata, how to process relayed data efficiently and concepts on how to build trust in a decentralized network. @ahoy.eu
I hope so, yes 😅
Just bought my ticket for @ahoy.eu on 24th April in Hamburg, hopefully see you there 😀
Our friends at @ahoy.eu now have tickets on sale for their one day #atproto conference in Hamburg, Germany, on April 24th
We are restarting the GitLab Meetup in Hamburg, join us for our first event next week (26.2.): www.meetup.com/de-DE/gitlab...
It was awesome working with Fernando Diaz on this demo showcasing GitLab's protected container registry feature available in GitLab v17.8. This feature allows for putting in place restrictions on users making changes to container images in GitLab's container registry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=am8C...
sure, whatever works ;) I really like yjs, worth investing some time 👍
For everyone interested in learning yjs, maybe that's a good introduction: learn.yjs.dev
#javascript #webdev #opensource #yjs
It's interesting to see how prominent they included the sub-issue feature, the button is really hard to miss and just wants to be clicked 🧐. Wonder if this is just for introduction or this will stay.
#GitHub recently introduced many UI improvements for issues, e.g. sub-issues. Looking forward to see how this can improve my workflow: github.blog/changelog/20...
#cicd #opensource
I would be generally interested in helping with dev and think something like this is important. I guess the Idea could be fundable by some European / German open source sponsorship? There are a few but often only available for people not companies (at least the prototype fund prototypefund.de).
Slow CI-Pipelines can be a real productivity killer. Waiting endlessly for e.g. test feedback especially in large projects is a common problem. We had a a look at GitLab and wrote together a few best practices based on a concrete example, how to fix slow running tests: b310.de/blog/gitlab-...

Cool idea! Could be useful in classes. #opensource #ai
Woops, yes just went through the list adding everyone and saw suddenly myself 😂 thanks!
🙋♂️🙏
A golden CI/CD pipeline is the list of actions that every piece of software must take to move a new code to production.
Today I share with you what a CI/CD pipeline should look like and how to make it generic.
