  I'm playing new and probably old house tracks again! Come hang out and listen, do a little dance and while I'm checking the new tracks out. Starting soon on https://twitch.tv/botteaap and https://stream.ltrbts.xyz #house #dj

  Did a release for the version catalog update plugin again :) Mostly minor bug fixes and one quality of life improvement so that IDE noinspection tags work like keep and pin options in the version catalog. https://github.com/littlerobots/version-catalog-update-plugin/releases/tag/v1.1.1

  AI in the hands of a professional would be good use and more productive. But I seriously doubt it. Reviewing slop code is not fun for anyone and the urge to just accept whatever is generated is strong. Also why do we need to be _more_ productive? How is that serving really? The whole premise of wanting or being more productive is a fallacy. I'm sure we are just producing massive amounts of tech debt, feeling super productive because we don't really look at what the token machine is spit...

  Oh look it's Cloudflare this time firing 1100 employees because AI adoption increased after forcing everyone to use AI 🙃 https://blog.cloudflare.com/building-for-the-future/ I'm sorry if you're affected by this big tech cost cutting playbook.

  Je mag een vegaburger of worst dus geen burger of worst noemen want dat is verwarrend voor de consument, maar je mag wel tuinbonen in je vlees stoppen en het dan gewoon vlees noemen? 🙃

  Rocky times at the gig so I went out for dinner

  Second time that I'm trying to have a composable draw outside of its bounds but not working. Last time it looked like it was clipped, but now the "clipping" is at a weird place...the layout inspector shows that the thing is laid out correctly 🤷‍♂️

  Two annoying bugs that I was chasing today and no closure...sad 🐼

  I keep coding until late so that I can throw away that code the next day after I have come up with a much simpler solution under the shower I should know better and go to bed on time 😬

  It's called skills.md but it's actually patterns in baby language. Again smart naming from the ai folk. In the real world me reading an Ikea instruction manual doesn't give me any skill as a carpenter either.

  We all love to hate the Play Store, but I just submitted an app update, it ran automated tests and reported a crash on older devices that I missed. That's pretty awesome.

  There's this VIES API to check EU VAT numbers. It's free and supplied by the EU. There's also viesapi.eu that calls that API and made some wrappers around it and offers a subscription. It ranks #1 on Google. I'm pretty sure their business model is people that cannot find the free API. It has a EU-like logo, .eu domain etc etc Some would call that smart, but it's just very scummy to me.

  It's one of those days where work setting up things in the past week now makes everything just click into place 🎉

  NOS zo: ja de brand ontstond bij een oefening van defensie met schieten enzo maar er wordt nog onderzocht of dat ook de oorzaak is...🤡

  People should stop asking a question followed up by "this is wat ChatGPT/Claude says" (followed by a wall of text). Sure, ask an AI, try to figure out if it's correct or not, but don't put the burden on those you ask the question. Also answering with "this is what the AI says about it"...don't, it's rude and I can do that myself if I want. Just assume I already did do some Googling/AI-ing/whatever-ing.

  Have a song^H^H loop and a sample singing "calling me". Put the sample in the thing and all of a sudden it sounds like "come in me" 🤦‍♂️ It wasn't meant to be a song I guess

  yesterday in overengineering was me having my two Android TV boxes with my custom launcher and some other tidbits sync the apks I installed manually over to the other box so that I don't have to adb twice 😬

  Playing around with the sort of official MapLibre compose wrapper and it's a bit strange in that it for example passes around MutableState objects 🤔 And stuff that I want to get to in MapLibre is not accessible...tempted to roll my own little wrapper just for the things I need.

  You'll have to wait longer to be allowed to side load an app the first time than my bank makes me wait after increasing my spending limit (4 hours for that before you can trick me into sending you all my money)

  Misschien leuk voor mijn ex-collega's die ook via Head First ooit bij de overheid zaten: Ik heb mijn account lang geleden verwijderd. Ze zeggen dan dat je profiel anoniem gemaakt wordt, want wettelijke eisen voor bewaren van data etc. Vandaag krijg ik opeens vacatures in m'n mail. Ik bel om opheldering te vragen. Aan de hand van mijn naam hebben ze in 1 sec m'n bedrijfsnaam en email erbij, maar mijn profiel staat écht op anoniem hoor Lijkt er dus op dat er heel weinig a...

  De PostNL pakket bezorger legt tegenwoordig mijn pakketjes als vondelingen voor de deur en belt dan aan 🤷‍♂️
