You first.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Déjà vu all over again.

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

When I see a misleading or incorrect headline for an article, I wonder if it is malice or incompetence. In 1992 I wrote an article to promote a C++ course I had developed. I thought my title "C better with C++" was really clever. ☺️ It was published as "C is better than C++" 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

They suck equally hard.

If there's anybody who follows me, who is a decent security architect who is looking for a role either in London or the Netherlands? Please can you message me? If you can retweet for reach that would be very much appreciated

The best time to buy coffee beans is right after you open the 2nd last bag.

fun fact. musk can no longer enter australia as the nazi salute is illegal and it doesn’t matter if you’ve done it outside of the country.

Software engineering's a discipline with a tenuous grasp of its own history. Imagine someone at a physics conference in 2025 presenting a paper on something they've just discovered that they're calling "The Falling Force"...

R.I.P. Doug Kramer. He was one of the kindest, humblest people I ever knew, & had a huge impact on the success of Java. He co-created Javadoc & the accompanying doc culture. This was critical to the widespread adoption of Java & had a permanent impact on its usability. everloved.com/life-of/doug...

Spring Framework main branch is now using Kotlin 2.1 as a baseline. Next steps are JSpecify based null-safety (hopefully with an extended scope that includes generic types), more efficient reflection, faster value class support and better documentation for Spring+Kotlin. github.com/spring-proje...

If we want every family to own kitchen appliances we need to build appliances that last much longer and use less energy.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

The end of 2024 also marked the end of my journey with Broadcom and the Spring Team. This year marks a new journey that will take me to some interesting places. More to come...

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

What do you do if you filled your new bean-to-cup machine with vile tasting coffee beans? 😳 You use the vacuum cleaner to suck out every single bean. 😂 Now I'll first put in a small amount of beans until I find the brand I like.
