It‘s just great to see how #codecrafts evolved from the simple idea of providing a platform for viennese software enthusiasts, to a conference like this 🤩 Thanks to everyone who is making this possible, an engaged audience, and of course our fantastic speaker lineup! ✨

@eric_demuth you are probably mixing the terms mvp and poc

I am totally locked in after experiencing the power of Claude + Cursor. I have built Bitpanda for 12 years without any ability to code. Always trying to express my ideas to builders. Now I can build an MVP within a day on my own. This is a total game changer.

@localghost yes and yes

has anyone ever had a salzburger nockerl? is it as good as it looks?

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@mxstbr Imho, the essence of REST is to be consumer agnosticism. When you find yourself needing to create consumer-specific endpoints — basically establishing knowledge about your downstream on your upstream — REST loses its core purpose and a pure HTTP API might be a better choice.

What do you call the category of view-specific endpoints companies introduce to their REST APIs like /feed? 🤔 With strict REST, you have one endpoint per entity. (e.g. /users/1) Eventually, companies introduce client/view-specific endpoints like eg /feed. What is that called?

@duffleit @nikgraf @okonetchnikov Danke für das tolle angebot, wir haben mittlerweile gebucht

@duffleit @nikgraf @okonetchnikov ?

@tomsvogel @nikgraf @okonetchnikov x* natürlich 🫠

@tomsvogel @nikgraf @okonetchnikov Hi Tom, sry bin dieser Tage kaum noch auf twitter unterwegs. Was Hotels betrifft bin ich in VIE auch nicht unbedingt versiert, aber 25hrs ist sehr nice. Bin aber aktuell ohnehin fast immer in MUC, könnt euch also gerne eine Wohnung im 3ten für ein WE anbieten wenn ihr das wollt.

What a pleasure to finally be part of an #unconferencd again. Great exchange right now on #LLMs, VectorDBs, temperature and all other things you need to know to get started and implement your own usecase here at @JSCraftCamp Munich. 👨‍💻

@htmx_org @oetzn I enjoyed this talk so much! Thanks for joining us at @CodeCraftsVie — it was a real blast!

hypermediapoors will never recover from this absolute haymaker by @oetzn: "guess what's not going to break with the next version upgrade?" "form submission" youtube.com/watch?v=pbQcVm… we are so back

@herrstagl archunit

thank you @snowded for kicking off #CodeCrafts 2023 with your amazing talk on "From Manufacturing Flow to Ecological Effectiveness"! 💡

@mitsuhiko @apoupko ask me to bring you two together 🙂

If someone wants to chat. I’m hanging around at #codecrafts outside the venue between talks. DM me or find me.

@jonas_grgt Hi @jonas_grgt, i just shared my slides (twitter.com/duffleit/statu…). Afaik as i know the talk from @CraftConf should have been also recorded 🙂 I will do a talk on a similar matter at @AmA_conf, and at @serverlesscon later that year. And a couple of workshops, e.g. @CodeCraftsVie.

@duffleit heard about your talk and how good it was, any chance it might become available somewhere online to watch ? Or are there other confs you're planning on presenting ?

The slides for my talk at #CraftConf on "#Architecting for #Scale" are now available. I shared some ideas and insights about how to build robust, resilient, and scalable systems. Have you seen other patterns? I would love to hear them! speakerdeck.com/squer/architec…

Excited to be sharing my insights about Architecting for Scale at @CraftConf on Mainstage at 13:40 today! Let's start building resilient and scalable systems. See you there!👨‍💻 #craftconf

@BatsouElef php

In which language did u write your 1st line of code? 💻

There are some great news to share for the viennese #CloudNative community: We (a bunch of local practitioners) are planing to finally have a #Kubernetes Community Day (#KCD) also in Vienna — stay tuned! ✨
