Okay, memorising large chunks of my talks is still the hardest and least liked part of preparation (one might have to do with the other)

Good thing I can't really do anything else while waiting at the airport.

I know some folx are surprised to see David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) publicly sharing statements that mirror the rhetoric of white nationalism. I am not. The writing has been on the wall for years.

The year is 2025, and some folks still take this to mean I advocate doing no up-front design thinking at all.

* sigh *
The year is 2025, and there are still folks saying that getting the design right first time is the better option over refactoring.

Historical note: We actually tried that - gave it a real go - and that's why refactoring was invented, because it turns out we're not clairvoyant after all.

Why repeat the things you already created when you can create something new instead?
My dear friend @pejgan.se will soon be giving our Musical-Keynote again - but with new content.
I'm so looking forward to Stockholm and Bilbao!

First tiny and unfinished bit of the "The Owl Problem- Director's Cut" is online.
We had some technical problems during the show with the sound and way less video material than I hoped for, but I hope there will still be enough folks who can enjoy this.

It's fascinating watching developers discover they get better results using "A.I." if they prompt with tests, work in small steps, test continuously, review and refactor throughout, integrate often, and work in smaller teams, and attributing those results to autocomplete.

When deep knowledge goes together with a native acting talent the result is the best keynote I ever seen:Trouble in The Old Republic.
Congratulations @developer-sam.bsky.social: what you have done today at #apexconn25 was a real show with so much truth in it and with meaningful message.
Thank YOU!

I deliberately started to *not* listen to an audio book or podcast while doing my morning walks with the dog.

Allows my thoughts to flow freely.

It's been amazing.

After 2,5 weeks of near complete social media abstinency I come to the conclusion:
I did not really miss something. Different to when I still was on Twitter (long, long ago).

I won't draw conclusions from that, I just acknowledge it as a data point so far.

I'm a bit late to the game, but I also wanted to write a litte bit about this year's #agileTD.
Once again it has been an incredible experience: Lots of learning & laughing, meeting old friends and making new ones!

Some of my highlights:

Come on, folks, and join me:
Who wants to be a "10x Ghost Engineer" on LinkedIn?
I'm now wondering who's the badass that's going to write "10x Ghost Engineer" on their LinkedIn profile.

I learned about "ghost engineers" - is that really a thing/phrase that's being used?

And then I wonder what is a 10x ghost engineer?
