@TCoolsIT @royvanrijn @ties_ven Haha, asked @KoTurk77 to use an actual picture, should be fixed ;-)

@Sander_Mak @royvanrijn Give me the OG Sander then.. much better than the awkward mix between him, @ties_ven and a piece of plastic. 🤣

One thing though… Who is this?! And what have they done to @Sander_Mak ?

Get ready for Voxxed Amsterdam on April 3rd, 2025 We invite you to dive into a full day of #Java. With powerhouse speakers: Victor Rentea, Josh Long, Sander Mak, Sander Hoogendoorn, Kim van Wilgen and Lutske de Leeuw 👉amsterdam.voxxeddays.com

A traveled to the top of a Volcano in Hawaii to capture this: Saturn briefly covered by the moon. One of the most difficult shots I’ve captured and a bucket list moment, this event gave me a new perspective on the solar system. I’ll have it available in print for a short time.

@johanjanssen42 @AlmanacHotels Doesn't sound like a 4 star hotel experience to me ;-)

A delivery startup that “won” home delivery in the Netherlands is called Picnic. They deliver within a half-hour slot. Need to order days ahead. You need to apply on a waitlist & wait until spots free up. It is the most reliable option. Their trucks: picnic.app

@eliasnogueira Thanks for joining!

Had an awesome evening at Picnic today meeting a lot of talented Java developers. Thank you for make it happen @Sander_Mak 🫶🏻

So I guess my choice [editor's note: admit, it's just laziness] to not upgrade to macOS 14 yet comes with some advantages... Be advised that macOS 14.4 on Apple silicon may lead to crashes in your Java applications!

@viktorklang @BrianGoetz #rubberklang?

Strongly considering creating my own Slack channel where I can post stream-of-conciousness posts so that I don’t have to send them to @BrianGoetz all the time. 🤔

@johanjanssen42 @kevindubois Me too, see you at DevWorld, I guess ;-)

Come and learn how Picnic evolves its warehouse systems architecture to keep up with our growth and increasing degree of robotization!

@piusnmuhumuza Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

@Stephan007 @ProtonMail No, but I'm a very happy @Fastmail customer for a few years now, can highly recommend checking that out as alternative to Google-hosted email as well!

⁉️ Anybody has experience with @ProtonMail ? We've been experiencing #DevoxxUK email delivery issues with GMail and are looking for alternatives, suggestions are very welcome! 📧

@KBVanderlocht @SirJelle @Faros_be Curious to hear your thoughts after watching the talk! Should be online ~tomorrow.

@SirJelle @Sander_Mak @Faros_be Yes investing in people. Perhaps it is the terminology that triggers me that's why I want to watch the talk. Art evokes the feeling of something inexplicable and unlearnable created by a gifted individual. And I think we have too much of that attitude in the business.
