Some tools force you to learn a complicated API and require constant maintenance.

Other tools... just work, and that's why it's easy to overlook them.

@openfeature.dev is one of those tools.

Do I use it daily? Yes.
Do I ever have to think about it? No.

That was the whole trip from the karnischen Höhenweg we did.

We had to skip the last down climb. My knee did not want to do that anymore.

Time to recharge... Or something like that. My body does not feel recharged ;)

Hiking for three days ~55 km and ~3500m elevation

Short morning run, before @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social continues. Today is presentation day, and I am looking forward to presenting on this fancy stage

Let's head to @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social - with the night train

looking forward to talking about @openfeature.dev

Hopefully the night will be peaceful and I can sleep ☺️

After two great days in🇨🇭 I finally came back home with the night train. Nothing better than directly joining the couchsurfers on a Via Ferrata and combining it with a little trail run 🎉🎉🎉

Nothing more refreshing than a short run before hack.commit.push in Winterthur ;)

Let's see I am already running low on family points - not sure I can collect enough till August :D

Sadly I can't use esims thank you for the hint. Sun* worked

My Zurich adventure feels more like being a hostage of @swisscom.bsky.social - wanted to get a prepaid, system does not work, trying to cancel with the shop's phone, 40min on the line already. Cannot leave because roaming would be too expensive. At least they try!

I heard posting pictures of runs is now a thing. Managed to get below 2hrs for the Bärenschuetzklamm today 🎉

Trainings: Git /GitHub Projects: AssertJ (Java) Cucumber (C++) Harbor CLI (Go) JReleaser (Java) OpenFeature (Java, JavaScript, Go, Python, ...) Spring Batch (Java) vmlens (Java)

📆 Only two weeks until Hack.Commit.Push, on June 13th in Winterthur!🇨🇭

Join us for a day of learning, sharing, and contributing to Open Source 🧑‍💻

JCON OpenBlend Slovenia was a blast. A lot of nice people, interesting topics, and a beautiful area.

Shout out to the organizers, and thank you for the great speaker dinner.

Best part:

"I couldn't immediately find a way to prove it, so I employed the tried-and-true method of getting someone else to do it for me by posting it to the Code Golf StackExchange."

oh no, let's say it was intentional to get more interactions :D

Another cool opportunity for me to share my @openfeature.dev knowledge

📣 I’m speaking at JCON OpenBlend Slovenia!
🗓️ March 29 | 🕑 14:00 | 📍 Portorož, Slovenia

Any Usergroup/etc in the #Zurich area wants to hear something about @openfeature.dev on the 12.6.2025?

I am attending hack.commit.push on the 13th, and I could arrive a day earlier ;) winterthur2025.hack-commit-pu.sh

I am inviting my junior colleagues to join me at the talks. It allows them to grow, see the impact our work might have on others, and generally show how great the community is and how helpful it might be to know somebody who might have some more clues.

"Rote Wand" (Grazer Bergland) never disappoints ;)

Via Ferrata once again, and met this big group of ibexes.

Be hold, my demo repository for my talk - still a little rough, with a lot of typos, but a good starting point for @openfeature.dev with spring boot ;)

Feedback welcome ;)

Oh this was great ;) I really enjoyed it, thank you!

OMG! @marcphilipp.de just published the first #JUnit 6.0 SNAPSHOTs. 😱

JUnit 6.0 work has officially begun! 🥳

#couchsurfing (and any kind of deviation like #warmshowers, #wtmg, ...) is a big part of our life. Regularly people are visiting, interacting and sharing.

The kids love it, because there is always something new.

This note is one of those experiences which make it especially rewarding ;)

Agreed ;)

Why OpenFeature chose environments to store publishing secrets Managing secrets securely in CI/CD pipelines is a critical challenge, especially for organizations with multiple repositories.

We decided to increase security by using GitHub environments to store publishing secrets, limiting access to main branch workflows. More details on medium.com/@askpt/why-o... #DevSecOps #CICD @openfeature.dev @github.com #dotnet

Wellnessday Via Ferrata trip

Took the work mates to a Via Ferrata on our wellness day (an additional day off to recharge)

Was a blast!

#dynatracewellness

It was nice to speak at the Vienna platform engineering meetup at @dynatrace.com again. Once again about @openfeature.dev ;)

Always a pleasure and as always great questions afterwards.

Thank you for joining
