But WHY, Windows?

Meaningful commit messages are so underrated!

A bit annoyed that 1Password seems to change its installation location from time to time - at least on my machine - which breaks my GitHub commit signing workflow. I used to fix this manually, but 1Password can do it for you now (also for WSL).

When I grow up, I want to be a developer 🙈🍀 #HolidaysHobbyProject

Throwback to a fantastic Vaarojen Maraton in most beautiful Kolin Kansallispuisto in eastern Finland. #trailrunning

Always interesting to see how many things I use are dependent on the same cloud services :-) #AWS

Thanks for the heads-up... I guess 😏🤔

Visiting and speaking at @mc2mc.be tonight at Van Roey in Turnhout. #CommunityRocks

30 days to go until Vaarojen Maraton - Doing the 21K, but living in a flat part of the country sure make those 900m D+ challenging 😵 vaarojenmaraton.fi #trailrunning

Some mindfulness before work 😬

Just when you thought you've seen it all... Mercedes will enable management with Microsoft Intune 🤔☺️ (and integrate Copilot obviously) media.mercedes-benz.com/article/931e...

Maybe it's time for an alias 😂

Even after all these years, @toriamos.bsky.social ’s virtuosity and seemingly effortless performance are utterly mind-blowing. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Playing with @astro.build the last few days to create my new website. Not a (real) developer, so a slightly steeper learning curve - but it has actual good documentation! (contrary to gohugo.io, which I currently use)

No, it isn't... Change my mind!

I've always been able to write decent enough English texts (as a non-native speaker). These days, people often assume AI wrote them. Funny how working on a skill over time now gets mistaken for prompting! 👀

The number of times my self-imposed Privileged Identity Management restrictions in Entra ID slap me in the face cannot be counted anymore 😝 Dangit.
