I am a traveller (not necessarily in a geographical sense) who seeks, observes … & occasionally finds.

I am a #Ruby programming software tester, studied physics, survived cancer & live at the seaside. I love the ocean and go swimming a lot – in winter, too.

Too bad that 'tiny ruby #{conf}' ➙ https://helsinkiruby.fi/tinyruby/sponsorships/ is on November 21, 2025. That's too close to the other conference (hint: #AgileTD) I'll attend. — I hope for more time between them next year. I'd love to return to #Helsinki again. #Ruby #Testing #ConferenceClash

It’s not that we’re particularly ‘blunt’ here in the NL or Europe, we’re just honest and to the point I guess

For me it hurts more when people are lying instead of telling me something I don’t like

This whole Agile Coach debacle has helped me realize something that hadn’t fully landed with me before: agile started as a movement driven by builders to «build better», but it is largely dominated now with people who don’t know how to build and look at agile as a management process style. These are MBA-like folks who are trying to figure out how to manage an IT organization. But that wasn’t what agile was about. It was about a better way to build stuff, better stuff, by collaboration and not getting stuck in our ways.

The standard excuse is "real artists study other artists, therefore AI is not stealing."

Here's the thing. Real artists study other artists, and do not produce nearly identical works, and if they do, they will contact the other artist and ask permission to publish the derivative work.

AI = plaigiarism-as-a-service

No commercial repos ❌

If @Codeberg won't host my commercial repos, I can't use them. I'd be happy to pay for private repos.

Seit über 30 Jahren warnen Klimaforscher vor Extremregen durch #Erderwärmung: die Physik sagt es, die Modelle zeigen es, die Messdaten der Wetterstationen zeigen seit den 1990ern die signifikante Zunahme von neuen Rekorden.
Gestern Frankreich, heute Australien.
Sorry, aber das wird einfach immer schlimmer werden, solange man mit Abwiegeln Wahlen gewinnen kann und Minister ins Amt kommen, die Klimawandel für überbetont halten & auf den Ausbau fossiler Energie setzen.

Schwere Überflutungen an Australiens Ostküste

Heftige Regenfälle haben im australischen Bundesstaat New South Wales zu katastrophalen Überschwemmungen geführt. Immer mehr Gebiete müssen evakuiert werden. Einige Menschen warteten auf Häuserdächern auf Rettung.

STOP FUCKING HATING.

Hatred is the bridge between anger and violence. Every time you submit to turning your anger in to hatred, you support the use of violence in defense of your views, and the state supports violence in defense of its views.

Every time. Every single time. In all of recorded history.

I am not advocating against anger, believe me, I'm so angry I mostly sputter.

But anger isn't hatred. And hatred makes, only, and ever, and always, more hatred.

Settle yourself.

Underrated & far too little known open-source project for exploring and testing APIs: 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗼 🐶

In comparison to Postman, it doesn't push you to use an enterprise version or to sync everything to a cloud.

You can just work offline.
And sync all of your collections via Git.

I totally missed this part of Microsoft Office #enshitification
- AutoSave is only available if you have an active Microsoft 365 subscription.
- AutoSave only applies to Microsoft 365 files stored in OneDrive
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-turn-on-autosave-dbd19b49-ff3a-48f5-8294-671e33a6712c

And people still pay money for this steaming pile of garbage?

In one of my larger consulting projects, we've recently decided to leave Postman and just go with Bruno. Not just in one team, but company-wide.

And it already starts to pay off, as collaboration and version control just became much easier.

And finally, you can create and update your collections just within your IDE.
But not via a sluggish UI that's wrapped in a VSCode extension, but just via code 👾

This means you can also profit from Cursor's AI integration.

If you didn't try it out, now is the time 😊

P.S. Yes, I know it has over 33k stars on GitHub, but I rarely meet developers who know about it or have tried it. It seems everyone is still using Postman.
