We all know tech debt 💸, and Ryan Craig will be showing us at #DDDAdelaide 2025 how to make tough calls on when to deliberately add it, or accept it (And not just pretend you didn't see it), and just as importantly, how to execute repayment plans so it does not haunt you forever 👻🛠️

At DDD Adelaide 2025 Ryan Craig will be presenting The Subtle Art of Intentional Technical Debt

Thankyou, would have been so great if I could get some mental health and gut bacteria help while also getting cute nails :D

Simone @simoneb.bsky.social · 24d

I've been dying to know if the red light the nail places use to set you gel nail polish is the same as the red light therapy lights. Do you happen to know?

Had this exact same experience. It was MCAS and low iron in my case.

I hope there’s something the can do to help you chill your body out so you can eat potato’s again. They are so tasty 🫠

I've been loving Claude but OpenAI’s GPT-5-Codex model is now rolling out (lnkd.in/ecXbKAYd). I'm on Aus tech money, I can't sustain 75 subs like i have on my TV 😁
