Use after free and buffer overflow were not on my bingo card for today (thankfully, it's just a training).

PSTD intensifies, though.

I have #Aphantasia and I found this fascinating. There's something on our brains that makes us "blind" in the mind, but that can be "unlocked" by some psychedelic drugs. Not that I would have the courage to try, though 😅

Frustrated that your AI assistant doesn't "get it"?

Maybe you're not giving it a command, you're delegating a task. The secret is to stop prompting and start mentoring.

This simple playbook I'm using is helping me to get better results from #AI:

And by properly used I mean at least that you know what you are doing and know how to express your need to the agent.

Otavio R. Piske @orpiske.net · Sep 8

This is a good example of how a coding agent, when properly used, can be a force multiplier.

I do feel like Apple is lagging behind in innovation and has become comfortable with their position.

Their insistence on locking down iOS and their failure to embrace AI have been making it harder and harder to justify the price of their phones.

These are interesting times in tech ... But there's so much cool stuff happening at the same time on the areas I'm interested about, coupled with the impossibility to follow each one of them, that sometimes is impossible to not let the impostor syndrome creep in 😔

The High Tatras region is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking, and the people are very nice. Unfortunately the same can’t be about their prices. They simply don’t match reality … it’s unbelievable how expensive every attraction is 🤯

Whenever someone shares a performance comparison of programming languages, many folks are surprised to see #Java rank up very high. I think by now it's kinda criminal how underrated Java and the JVM are in circles not familiar with it. This misconception is the biggest challenge for this platform.

I’ve seen busy reconstruction summers in Brno, but nothing like this one. It feels like every few hundred meters in the city center has something going on …

I can't help but feel a bit of envy seeing multiple colleagues on PTO already. Luckily, just one more week until I can logoff and spend a few days exploring the Tatras ... 😫

Lots of interesting stuff there, but I want to call out one in particular: "... Sajal Sharma's comprehensive guide on working with AI coding assistants ...".

There are some really good practical tips to extract more from coding agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI.

My approach to AI has been to consider it as automating the mechanical part of my work. It doesn’t matter to me who writes the code: me, a trainee or an agent. I am still responsible for the software engineering behind it: reviewing the code, evaluating tradeoffs, creative problem solving, etc

I needed to set up Keycloak programmatically for my tests and couldn't find a clear guide, so I wrote one!
This is a quick, step-by-step tutorial showing how to take full control of Keycloak in your @quarkus.io integration tests. Hope it helps you too!
