I can't believe I hit over 10k #YouTube channel views (actually 11,321 but who's counting? 😅)!

I intend to make a lot more content over this year. All #developer focused short form (5 minutes or less).

Give me a follow if you want to join the journey! 👇

New project dropping soon!

Tired of guessing which dev events to sponsor?

I'm building to help solve it!

📍Use natural language to find events
📍Filter by region, dev community, etc.
📍Check sentiment
📍Save or export

Beta testers get free Enterprise plan.

Interested? LMK and I'll add you!

Can you tell the theme for my upcoming talk at the GitHub user group meetup tonight in Tel Aviv? Does the font give it away? 🛸👽

Some things I wish would stay in the States. We really don’t need another American fast food chain like Cinnabon in Tel Aviv.

Israeli fortune cookies read like a verse from Tanakh:

‘The end of an act begins with thought, and much thought follows…’

Fortune cookie or the Bible? You decide. 🤣

Building RAG apps is too much fun!

Do you agree with the response on which planet in the #StarWars universe would be most familiar to someone from Earth?

The AI context is being enhanced with a vector search of Star Wars data on @couchbase.bsky.social.

Are you buying a place on Alderaan today?

Benefit #1 of remote working: Being able to step out for a quick lunch with your spouse during the workday.

(Also, not fighting traffic; not being interrupted constantly; using the office chair that’s right for you, etc., etc. 😅)

Anuradha is delivering a fantastic hands-on talk on web accessibility at @cityjsconf.bsky.social. Learning quite a lot from her dynamic presentation. 👏

After a 14 hour flight I land home and right away in a cooking competition for a bar mitzvah celebration.

Don’t even know if it’s day or night but cooking here we come!

Some light reading for the flight 😅

And the last of the @couchbase.bsky.social swag is going fast on the final day of #rubyconf! Stay warm, #rubyfriends, and get yours before it’s gone!

#rubyfriends, we got you covered for the Chicago winter! ❄️

Come to Hack Day and get geared up and figure out how to build GenAI apps and more with the new @couchbase.bsky.social Ruby ORM!

Curt and I are here to get you started going and hacking on all your projects!

When you come to Chicago for a conference, and you’re a kosher meat eater, there is one mandatory stop in the north side that’s a requirement. #kosher #romanian #chicago

Back in the city just for the weekend. You may see me today working from random coffee spots all over from lower manhattan to the upper west 🗽

It’s time for the DevOps undead!

Getting ready to kick off a spooktacular DevOpsDays Tel Aviv! 👻🎃

I’ve taken down hirethePIVOT, the site showcasing devs from non-traditional paths. 😥

Proud of its impact, though it proved unsustainable. Second-career devs bring unique strengths, and one day, recruiting will value that.

It’s true.

I know we enjoy generics in Rust, but there’s nothing generic about these tacos 🌮

Code on Sunday or enjoy the sunshine? ☀️
