While it sounds amazign that Fable 5 can solve Pokémon, let's not forget, that a single regex could do the same. Watch this talk of Alex Clemmer www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-HT...

A great article about why we shouldn't use the disabled attribute on input elements and what we could do instead to keep things accessible. Rethinking the "disabled norm": 7 patterns to use instead in your design system zeroheight.com/blog/rethink...

Spending tokens as a developer feels like spending mana as a mage in an RPG 🧙 If you have burnt through your pool this early in the month I would suggest you'll take a long rest 🔥⛺

It's not a bug, it's a redesign... Am I the only one around here who notices more and more bugs in everyday software? I know this one is a minor thing that I have cause countless times myself, but some days it feels like the internet is slowly falling appart.

Big evolutions in hardware often come with new ways of input. This is **not** one of them, but the Surface Keyboard is still a really cool feature meta dropped in the public testing channel.

Meta cooked 🧑‍🍳 i just got their newest experimental feature for the quest called surface keyboard. It even works surprisingly well in travel mode on the train.

I whish I would have known about this git feature earlier... Maybe you are one of the lucky 10.000 today xkcd.com/1053/

This is not a typo: npm isntall-clean is a valid alias for npm ci Don't open an issue, it is intended behavior 🫣

Many software developers (myself included) dream of creating video games for a living. Sounds like a fantasy? Since video games are an art form, I guess what we really dream of is creating art all day. 👩‍🎨🖼️ Seems like a very human thing to me.

I know Halloween is over, but here is something truly haunting for you scope-creep.xyz

"... you have been put to work to make automation work. That's not how automation is supposed to work" - @edzitron.com We have started with prompt engineering. Now we are context engineering. Maybe we should just get better at actual engineering.

If you ever need to figure out what's going on in your system, check the /proc folder. Aivars Kalvāns walked us through the proc filesystem and showed us where to find everything from the arguments a process was started with to its open network connections. #CloudNativeDaysAustria

Finally a solution to the 💩 in 💩out issue all observability tools face. @dominik.suess.wtf showed us how OTel Weaver can ensure different teams use the same names and data types for the same kind of data. It uses metric defintions to generate code / docs / dashboards #CloudNativeDaysAustria

Another tool I need to check out: Sigstore - the Let's encrypt of supply chain security - as Stephan Kraft put it. #CloudNativeDaysAustria

How do you find issues that involve your service mesh's side car proxies? You need to make them less transparent and include them in your traces. Konrad Renner showed us how it's done at #CloudNativeDaysAustria

You might not need to build your own controller for custom resources. Instead you could use KRO and its resource graph definition as @yveshwang.bsky.social showed us. #CloudNativeDaysAustria

Day 2 of #CloudNativeDaysAustria was kicked off by @lauratacho.com She explained why DX still matters and how to communicate this to your management. Pro tip: use the venn diagram from her presentation 😉

Today @t-sc.eu shared his learnings from karriere.at about how platform engineers can actually improve the experience for developers (especially of microservices) instead of just forcing them to learn yet another tool. #CloudNativeDaysAustria

Sarah Christoff gave us a nice refresher about solving deadlocks. I wouldn't have considered the resources themselves to be part of a possible solution (by requiring certain procedures to update their state) #CloudNativeDaysAustria

I want more websites to have little whimsical touches, like @vitest.dev's feature overview. vitest.dev/guide/featur... Aligned with the vibe of the product, making the important things stand out without being distracting. 👏👏👏

I'm glad the weather was better on the second day of this year's #WeAreDevelopers World Congress, so I could give my talk on working API first on the Open Air stage youtu.be/OLPfuIfcwb8

I won 2nd place but all I got was new knowledge. Thanks to @lirantal.com for packing the dry topic of security into a fun quiz. #WeAreDevelopers

Some people have a strange sense of humor: Senior Internship - unpaid but PhD and 40+h/week required www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

Another interesting talk from todays #codecrafts vienna conference. Bjorna Kalaja raised awareness for Green Software Principles and ran through different kinds of common refactorings. E.g.: It pays of to simplify your data models to save energy. Splitting your monolith has the oppsite effect.

Thanks to @suksr.bsky.social for showing that is possible move away from legacy systems without a big bang (@ #codecrafts vienna). Your team structure, software architecture, and business requriements are connected and need to evolve together to reach your target system structure.

Banger talks @@viennajs.bsky.social in the @dynatrace.com Vienna office @danielroe.dev persuaded us to build CLIs, to free ourselves from repetitive tasks and achieve effortlessness. @bitsbysigrid.bsky.social dove deep into how ESM modules make the injection of observability tools especially hard.

Life hack 💡 Use empty toilet paper rolls to keep your cables rolled up nicely. Big brain move: Write the type or purpose of the cable on the roll to keep access times low. If you have a better system let me know!

Can I run Tesla's car software in a local container? I've got a business idea involving captchas 😉

In addition to that, I wish more projects would provide update guides like @angular.dev does. angular.dev/update-guide

Is it hard to center stuff using CSS? Yes... but today it is because there are almost too many options to choose from. @kevinpowell.co made a nice compilation that I wish I could engrave in my brain: www.youtube.com/shorts/YBMBh...

Word!

"We've reduced our support load by 99.9% using AI" In reality... your customer can't get ANY support now I'm getting tired of these terrible AI bot rollouts... Example:

2019 hat die ÖVP die Koalition mit der FPÖ gesprengt, weil sie Herbert Kickl für untragbar als Innenminister hielt. Im Wahlkampf 2024 hat sie Kickl für „rechtsextrem“ u. zum „Sicherheitsrisiko“ erklärt. Nun will die ÖVP Verhandlungen, um Kickl zum Kanzler zu machen. Ö. Politik ist schon … besonders.
