Now with rich text media support and embeds :D

Hello from GitHub Actions! https://github.com/cbrgm/bluesky-github-action

With the spring temperatures in Hamburg, my mood rises by 1000%

#FOSDEM fomo kicks in. I wish everyone who's there lots of fun. Keep the Posts coming :D

Weekend Painting, I also recorded the session this time www.twitch.tv/videos/23514... #krita #digitalart

First drawing of the year

Swamp Speedpaint in #krita

Thunderstorm Speedpaint #krita #art

Does it work well with MacOS? I owned the Instalink 360 but returned it because I always had to re-plug the USB C cable to activate the camera once my mac went into standby mode. Pretty annoying.

I recently built some abstractions around log/slog in Go for the first time and I'm still amazed at how easy it is to extend slog, really cool

It's been a while. Did some drawing today, hope you enjoy it!

My favourite snapshot from #london a few days ago

Another digital painting sketch done with #krita by me, it's getting better and better. Currently learning a lot about light and the choice of colours :)

We are hosting the #Grafana & Friends #Hamburg meetup in our office on the 12th of September, feel free to sign up and say hi in case you are around https://www.meetup.com/grafana-friends-hamburg/events/302884804

TIL about benchstat for computing statistical summaries and A/B comparisons of Go benchmarks #golang https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat

Attended a cool talk on event-driven workflows
by Andrew Wormald at GopherCon UK, which looks pretty cool https://github.com/luno/workflow

Collecting metrics in software without understanding them is a common anti-pattern, change my mind..

Another 10 minutes sketch in #krita, playing around with limited colorsets

I'm really looking forward to GopherCon UK. From Thursday I'll also be there in person in London

Should the daily stand-up die? The daily stand-up was intended to help teammates remove any blockers to commitments. But at many companies, stand-ups have devolved into tedious one-sided status reports.

Loved this article on daily stand-ups! It questions if these rituals are still relevant or just "a parody of productivity" and explores efficient alternatives like asynchronous updates. leaddev.com/process/shou...

Isn't it curious how starting exercises feels harder than doing them? It seems like overcoming inertia is tougher than the workout itself.

On some days #icecream is the only answer

Ever wondered why it's called "foo" and "bar" in #coding examples? These terms have roots in military slang, where "foobar" was used to mean something fouled up beyond recognition! Maybe I should start a fun fact friday.. :D

Makefiles are like the junk drawer of coding. They keep things organized but somehow contribute to tech debt like hidden clutter behind a tidy facade.

Some devs often struggle with commenting on #code. Instead of just documenting *what* the code does, it's more useful to explain *why* certain choices were made, providing necessary context for future readers.

Naming variables is like naming a band — whatever you choose, someone will think it's odd, and you'll probably regret it later.

Currently reading *A Philosophy of Software Design* by John Ousterhout. His explanation of tactical programming (short-term solutions) vs. strategic programming (long-term quality) is quite enlightening. Highly recommend!

When summer days finally arrive, #Hamburg is simply the most beautiful city in the world. Finally blue skies and 24 degrees today

This looks cool! https://github.com/FUSAKLA/promruval

The Olympic opening ceremony was really impressive. I'm already looking forward to the event, finally not just football on TV but other sports as well
