Briefly, I want to address the issue of who is to blame. Easy — the people behind the attack. Lasse, the maintainer of xz, was the target of a patient intelligence campaign that invested more resources into subverting him than anyone invested into his project.

📢 If you hate writing software, you may just be in the wrong role. I’ve worked with a LOT of different companies and teams over 20+ years. Typically I've been happy. But sometimes, I've been miserable. On one team, I thought “I hate coding”. Turns out, I didn’t hate coding. I just hated coding on that team. 🚫 We constantly had unrealistic deadlines 🚫 We weren’t empowered or trusted 🚫 Tech debt was out of control 🚫 My team wasn’t respected 🚫 My boss was a liar I found a new role and realized: Hey, software development with these folks is fun again! 😀 So, if you’re unhappy, look around. Greener pastures are out there.

In my opinion the general availability of virtual threads made 21 the most disruptive and innovative Java release since 8... ... and still people seem to focus on stuff like this 👇 Sometimes I really don't understand developers 🤷

With all the billions for Ukraine, we need to set aside just $1 billion to seek and find Russian war criminals for the next 50+ years.

Slice up the tennis balls and you can get more in the tube - efficient use of space and increased productivity. But you won't be able to play tennis! Be efficient, be productivity but more importantly be effective - do not forget your purpose. Thanks to Steve Andrews for this

I don't know whether anyone of my followers will ever have the "pleasure" to write code for an ATTiny12 Atmel microprocessor, but after I spent countless hours of debugging and reading 20 year old C code and datasheets, I decided to share my findings, just in case. 👇

Will ChatGPT make developers 10x faster? Yes, if they know what it wrote and understand it. Otherwise it will make the code wrong, 10x faster.
