A calmer way to keep up with your community.

Does this make sense for Bluesky? Yes, it does 😄

November 12, with @buffer.com. Stay tuned! 💛

Way back I decided to list both my formal name and my calling name on LinkedIn.


Why?
Because outside of Greece, almost nobody knows that Dinos is just the short version of Konstantinos (in Greek, “NT” sounds like “D”).

Added some basic stats on my dev env, from the firehose events processed and filtered.

How meta is this, to post about the Firehose in order to test the Firehose? 😂

The one thing that still excites and humbles me at the same time, is real-time or near-real-time data ingestion.

@buffer.com we integrate with real-time event sources (streams and webhooks) wherever possible. Today, we process ~45M events daily and we keep expanding.

Building real-time integrations with social media platforms feels like trying to drink from a waterfall🚰

I’ve spent over 10 years working with data ingestion pipelines and third-party integrations. It’s not the only thing I do, and I’m far from an expert, but it’s an area I keep coming back to.

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles - Day 78: The First Harvest 🌱

We picked our first cucumber! 🥒✨
A little on the seedy side, but not bad at all. 😎

We’re drying the seeds now, ready to carry Gurkie’s legacy into the next cucumber season. 🌿♻️

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Day 75: The Leaning Trellis 🌱

Gurkie is on recovery mode! We trimmed the dead leaves and focused on saving what was still alive and it seems to work.

The trellis we added last month is struggling though.

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Day 58: Home Alone 🌱

It’s been two days since we left Gurkie home alone, and I’ll admit we haven’t missed him too much. 😅
He’s got some basic watering systems in place. I’m hoping they’ll hold up over the next two weeks while we’re away on vacation. 🤞

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Days 49 & 50: Difficult Moving to the New House 🌱

Gurkie’s move to the big new pot wasn’t as smooth as we hoped. In the process, some roots were damaged and a good portion of the sun leaves lost their strength.

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Days 47 & 48: Little Jungle 🌱

Gurkie has officially turned into a little jungle. 🪴🌿 He’s completely outgrown his current pot, and it's getting harder to pretend otherwise.

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Day 43: Bites on the Leafs 🌱

Gurkie is growing strong. We’ve picked up a new rectangular pot and some trellis pieces. Tomorrow we are moving it to its new condo. 🪴✨

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Day 39: Growing Flowers 🌱

Gurkie is not just growing strong. It's growing flowers! 🌼💪

After some reading, I found out there are male and female cucumber flowers and only the females grow actual cucumbers.

🌱 The Cucumber Chronicles – Day 35: Can’t Stop Growing 🌱

It’s been just over a month and Gurkie is growing very strong. Yesterday, I added a longer branch for support and today it already wrapped itself around it 🥒🪴
