@piercifani @ThomasHondema new speaker friends!

@TasonJorres @jetbrains congrats Jason!!!! let’s catch up soon :)

here we go! #FridayThe13th @jetbrains

packed room for my webdevcon talk today in amsterdam!

@Thepromoplay i saw a talk on observability (tools like dynatrace) where the message is that the whole team is responsible for monitoring

@hhthacker Sorry, maybe because of my English I didn't understand what you mean?

talking about performance tests in london at sre day!

@Thepromoplay not surprising or new, but something i’m thinking about a lot lately, and discussed at sre day, is that observability is everyone’s responsibility

@hhthacker SRE Day in London?🎉 What was the most surprising insight of the day? I'm always curious to know what SREs are working on these days

@MelkeyDev @turbotax maybe the ‘expert’ has been within you all this time

Yo @turbotax you guys are TERRIBLE. I've been waiting for an 'expert' 5 times now across the week. None of the people show up, the UI on the website is awful and this process has been an absolute waste of my time

@kenwheeler the apple in my head is rotating itself into pie and i’m baffled that other people can’t do that too

the fact that people can’t make the apple do a triple backflip in their mind is honestly scary

@georgehanu i skipped the functions help and started with asking it to build something i thought it would mess up but executed quite well. and now questioning my entire workflow, yes

@hhthacker Totally normal. First it is curiosity. Then it writes a function you were about to write. Then you start questioning your entire workflow. We have all been there.

i feel smitten after using claude code, is this normal

@RohanSudo opus is great

@hhthacker Yep. It's very normal. Welcome to the club 🫡

@sdhilip good to be here

@hhthacker Yep… welcome to the Claude Code fan club 😌

@trashh_dev like catching up on linkedin messages?

@theo i’m obsessed with pombon’s goofy little face
