What's the best way to upload a DJ mix / mixtape these days? I went back to my MixCloud, but it's full. (poke @pilato.fr )

I’ve been using Apple Keynote since 2003. Best slide software ever. Pixel perfect. The latest update with a premium « AI » boosted subscription nudge is a massive disgrace. WTF did Apple do here???

An interesting year ahead! 😎 Lots of cool challenges for me on the Quarkus front, including bringing Vert.x 5. Also… a year with a personal career milestone.

See dhh trying to dismiss the OSI and claim Open Source is anything where the source is available and the entire platform rallying behind his idiot ideas.

Closes.

The engineer-manager pendulum model no longer accurately reflects how engineering leadership operates.

Most of us aren’t just an IC or a manager. Technology has forced us to live somewhere in the middle.

I wrote about what this actually looks like now:

The engineer–manager pendulum is breaking
The hybrid era of engineering leadership is here, and the traditional IC/manager model is no longer suitable.

I created a Dynamic Badge Generator with #Quarkus, #QuickJS4j, #Batik, and a Qute UI playground.
You can build your own custom SVG/PNG badges… including a Quarkus-powered preset gallery.
It’s creative, nerdy, and surprisingly useful.
And yes, I wrote JavaScript. It hurt a little. 😅
