Quick trial of AWS new IDE called Kiro, compared to my current favourite tool - Claude Code..

What a way to end a week! Got my hands on a couple of Data General One laptops ! 😍 These (unfortunate ) laptops from the mid 1980s were quite one of their kind! A Minicomputer manufacturer making personal laptops? Preposterous 🤯

Expect an unboxing and demo video soon! ❤️

I did not know that Blind is *so racist*. The amount of hateful comments, talking crap about foreigners, visa holders, "they took our jobs" is scary!

As a visa holder myself, I am truly appalled by the fact that my colleagues in tech have such a shit opinion of us.

Goodbye Blind! 👋

In the video below I go over three tips…tools? Whatever , I use in my zsh configuration that save me those precious keyboard taps!

🔥 Just dropped a deep-dive on building MCP servers with Dart for the Flame Engine!

You will learn how to build MCP server both with AI assistance AND manually with full explanations.

Perfect for Flutter game devs who want AI that actually understands Flame and more! 🎮

I could really use your help looking for Senior++ Technical Writer roles or intermediate++ Developer Relations roles. I'm looking to stay in Germany.

I'm also considering building up a freelance pipeline but realistically full time work makes my visa situation way easier.

Please RT for reach 🙇‍♀️

☝️ zsh pro tip: If you are using 'vi' mode in Zsh, and want to edit your current command using your $EDITOR, these three lines in your .zshrc will enable you to do so by hitting `Esc` + 'v'

For all Rust 🦀 and AWS SDK fans out there. Here is how you can limit the max retries of your SDK calls. Very useful if you are invoking Lambda functions, that could cause a cascade of invocations!

Do you use multi-threading/parallel processing? 🤔

Last night I started looking into parallel processing with Rust 🦀. And, for the first time, I ran into *semaphores*.

The way semaphores are implemented in Rust and Tokio, is so elegant!
I will be digging deeper into this, so expect some content! ❤️
