I used to think the best reason to attend a conference was for the talks—until I met this guy and saw his incredible photos. 📸

I gave a talk with a 10-minute slides and 30 minutes of live coding. Wow! Hats off to those already doing live coding on stage!

None of the achievements I've ever had would have been possible without you, @ancythomas.bsky.social. You're my greatest supporter, my toughest critic. Thank you for everything! Special thanks to @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social for perfectly capturing her in the moment as she captured me.

The biggest stage so far! Thanks to @voxxedzurich.bsky.social

The perk of being a speaker 🤩 Thanks to the organisers of mini.CONF hosted by #group9.

My wife is reading this—do I need to be worried? 😅😂😆 Better start complimenting her more! 😜

My second talk of the year, and the first one in Belgium. Thanks to @bejug.bsky.social and @tomcools.be for the opportunity. It was one of the best evenings. I enjoyed presenting, and thanks to the fantastic audience, you all made my day. I was happy to hear your constant laughter. 😄

Next up, @rijosam.com from 🇳🇱 talking about multicultural teams! 😊

In Leuven, for my talk tomorrow at the Belgian Java User Group.🤩 @bejug.bsky.social

A few years ago, my confidence in encryption and cryptography was shaken by an issue with a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). An unintentional mistake in choosing a blocking algorithm resulted in timeouts for many customers.
 You can read more about PRNGs in my latest @foojay.io article.

Do you know why you wouldn't want to be called "𝗞𝘂𝗸𝗶 𝗬𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗶" in Japan? Or do you know that a ‘𝗡𝗢’ can come in many disguises? Come join me at @brabantjug.nl on December 11th, where I will discuss the impact of culture on our daily work.
