Short morning run @ #JavaCro - I should not drink alcohol the day before running - I am getting old. - the end felt really hard, although it was just 3k

On my way to #javaCro - 6 hours Roadtrip ahead!

As I am not used to driving that long, this will be interesting ;)

Nothing better than starting the day with a pre conference walk. So far @socrates-conference.at has been a blast. One more day to go #Hype

Seems like i am going to @socrates-conference.at - now I am curious is there anybody in graz who wants to carpool? train from linz to graz is just really akward. :)

So the night train adventure starts...

Sidenote: that's what you get for traveling by night train to most conferences -> kids who also want to ride the night train. To be honest I am really looking forward to this adventure with the kids.

Some tools force you to learn a complicated API and require constant maintenance.

Other tools... just work, and that's why it's easy to overlook them.

@openfeature.dev is one of those tools.

Do I use it daily? Yes.
Do I ever have to think about it? No.

Time to recharge... Or something like that. My body does not feel recharged ;)

Hiking for three days ~55 km and ~3500m elevation

Short morning run, before @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social continues. Today is presentation day, and I am looking forward to presenting on this fancy stage

Let's head to @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social - with the night train

looking forward to talking about @openfeature.dev

Hopefully the night will be peaceful and I can sleep ☺️

After two great days in🇨🇭 I finally came back home with the night train. Nothing better than directly joining the couchsurfers on a Via Ferrata and combining it with a little trail run 🎉🎉🎉

Nothing more refreshing than a short run before hack.commit.push in Winterthur ;)

My Zurich adventure feels more like being a hostage of @swisscom.bsky.social - wanted to get a prepaid, system does not work, trying to cancel with the shop's phone, 40min on the line already. Cannot leave because roaming would be too expensive. At least they try!
June 12, 2025 at 8:35 AM
I heard posting pictures of runs is now a thing. Managed to get below 2hrs for the Bärenschuetzklamm today 🎉

JCON OpenBlend Slovenia was a blast. A lot of nice people, interesting topics, and a beautiful area.

Shout out to the organizers, and thank you for the great speaker dinner.

Best part:

"I couldn't immediately find a way to prove it, so I employed the tried-and-true method of getting someone else to do it for me by posting it to the Code Golf StackExchange."

Another cool opportunity for me to share my @openfeature.dev knowledge

📣 I’m speaking at JCON OpenBlend Slovenia!

Any Usergroup/etc in the #Zurich area wants to hear something about @openfeature.dev on the 12.6.2025?

I am attending hack.commit.push on the 13th, and I could arrive a day earlier ;) winterthur2025.hack-commit-pu.sh

"Rote Wand" (Grazer Bergland) never disappoints ;)

Via Ferrata once again, and met this big group of ibexes.
