I got a comment about the tie when donating blood this morning so naturally had to explain about #tieday for the nurses 🙂
Went with a Harlequin knot today. Tricky to tie, but I kinda like it. It's a bit better with a thicker tie though - the edges hold their points better with more material.

Back at work after holidays and a refreshing skip trip.
What a better way to start the Tieyear than an Eldredge?

Last day of work before the holidays. Celebrating with my most festive tie and a Double Eldredge knot.
Happy holidays, see you in January

Would you look at that, it's #tieday again. In the right light, the shirt looks like gingerbread.
I didn't really know what knot to pick this morning, and sort of just started tying something and it ended up as a Truelove knot.

This delayed #tieday post brought to you by Cloudflare - proving that sticking about a fifth of all the eggs in the same basket isn't a good idea at all.
Cape knot. I rather like how the tail seam ended up right at the center.

Yet another #tieday today. Third time with a tie this week due to CLC conference in Mannheim.
Apparently you can wear a smartwatch through the airport security check, but not a tie clip 🙂

I caught Claude Code "lying" to me this morning.
This is a gentle reminder that while these kinds of tools are both capable and useful, they are also incredibly flawed and lack any kind of actual intelligence.

Day two of Newcrafts, a proper #tieday!
Started the day with a morning run around the Eiffel Tower and now I'm at the conference sporting a Trinity knot.
Last day in Paris before I go home to Sweden tomorrow.

In Paris today for Newcrafts where I held a TDD-workshop in the morning slot.
Good times and now I get to enjoy the rest of the conference in peace 😁
I think this tie is still my absolute favourite and it really shines in the Haddon knot.

Time for another #tieday. Went a bit advanced with an Intrinity knot today. It's essentially a Penrose knot tied on top of a Trinity knot - long ties only 😅
Neon Oni's latest new album Nihilism is blasting out of the speakers today.
Bonus pics from TDC in Trondheim where I was on Monday.

Time for another#tieday again. The beard is getting a bit long so I'm off to trim it (and the hair) in an hour.
Tie is tied in a Rachel knot, named after the inventor's wife.
Have a nice day!

Friday is here, the sun is shining, the trees are getting colourful, Vintersorg is playing in the headphones and the necktie is tied in a Haddon knot..
I'm having a fantastic #tieday, hope yours is equally good!

Time for another #tieday. Sporting a Truelove knot today. As far as I know it has nothing to do with true love. It just happens to be the inventor's surname.

#tieday in Borås today. Me and two of my colleagues are attending a conference about digital product passes in textile. Very exciting since I know practically nothing about this.
Oh and I'm sporting an Eldredge knot today. The tie is from Stenströms, but that's as much as I know about its origins.

Oh my, is it Friday again already? I guess that means time for another #tieday.
Found a new knot today: KES knot (courtesy of Mr. C's Another Knot). I rather like it.
Which one's your favourite?

When coding with agentic AI I feel I'm missing out on the inherent design review that comes with writing APIs and structuring code. Just reviewing generated code doesn't trigger the same reflection on the design as writing it myself - and I don't just auto-accept changes without review

One of the worst parts about working with coding agents is that they don't learn anything.
