Engineer, do you have a technical challenge for me? F#, Swift, Rust, fun languages. Dutch. Volvo. Chocolate. Things. New here, please help.
At least we didnt have to replace a tire for the sunday presentations #FOSDEM

Playing around with free #Codemium on one of our old repos. Works better than the previous onsite hosted small #llama model and #Continue.dev model, for #Continue.dev I was unhappy with the embeddings model, for #Codemium I have empty responses sometimes.

Our cat will soon arrive, what are the best #smarthome hacks for our new buddy?

Just used our Duux humidifier for the first time close to our Awair Element sensor and shocked by the pm2.5 readings! No ultrasonic humidifiers and tap water apparently... #smarthome

I even didn't manage to do all the #AdventOfCode weekend days this year, maybe the christmas break is enough to catch up. In other news, we are getting a kitten and the coffee machine works again!

Instead of doing my advent of code I am fighting with the coffeemachine today, sadface.

#AdventOfCode in #Jetbrains #Rider with #fsharp, day 8. I tried to squeeze it in a single screenshot. I feel like there should be a more compact way but I was already happy I got both parts the first time!
