By day, I work in SharePoint/Power Platform development.
For fun, I enjoy fiddling with my #aquarium, riding my #ebike, tinkering around with #HomeAssistant, playing #Factorio, going to #MetalShows, #Grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting.
We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins.

Companies who follow the current trends by getting project managers to try to be developers by using AI agents are going to be in a very rude awakening as more and more try.
Project managers and AI agents can understand 'make the font red and bigger'. They don't understand what goes into the ALM pipelines, systems and processes to make the entire system maintainable over time. At first it'll seem to be magic and work fine but as the agents pile more and more spaghetti code into the code base it'll become harder and harder update until it breaks.
AI agents enhance and extend your dev teams. I don't think they replace them. If your devs don't want to use AI agents, then fine man don't make them. If they're doing a good job and making your thing work the way you want and it's fast and reliable then wtf are you doing?
I'm not an AI hater. I use AI agents to do things and I think one of the most dangerous things is how fucking agreeable they are. They tend to be agreeable and it's like they want you to like them so they say shit that might not be true because they're being agreeable.
Look robot, I want you to tell me when I'm wrong. I need your expertise in $topic. If I say or suggest something stupid, I need you to tell me I said something stupid and not let me go 5 steps down the stupid path before something breaks.
Many bloggers seem to use the 'weekly notes' pattern and I'm not sure why. Is it mostly just a tool to give writers a reason to write?
As I scroll thru the titles of blog posts on bubbles, these titles seem the least interesting to me.
I've often thought but never mentioned but I think we bloggers should try harder to create better titles for our blog posts.
My KeePass and Syncthing setup
How I sync passwords across my laptop, desktop, and phone using KeePassXC and Syncthing, plus a couple bash scripts I wrote to handle masked emails (like 1Password's feature) and merge sync conflicts.
