It's time guys, GNOME is good but...

...if you want GNOME to be great, there is a donation button that links to here:

https://donate.gnome.org/

I'll donate to GNOME any time of the day as long they don't spend 40% of the budget for inclusive bathrooms.

“We're living through the greatest software quality crisis in computing history. A Calculator leaks 32GB of RAM. AI assistants delete production databases. Companies spend $364 billion to avoid fixing fundamental problems.

This isn't sustainable. Physics doesn't negotiate. Energy is finite. Hardware has limits.

The companies that survive won't be those who can outspend the crisis.

There'll be those who remember how to engineer.”

Are you a software professional living with chronic pain?

We’re studying how chronic pain affects software professionals. By sharing your experience, you’ll help us understand developers’ challenges and improve work sustainability.

☕ We’d love to hear your story over a digital coffee!

Interviews are conducted in English or Portuguese by a researcher (me!) who also lives with chronic pain.

Das Fazit ist also klar: Die Debatte um KI-Tools ist aktuell keine geschäftliche, sondern eine emotionale und soziale. Die Werkzeugwahl sagt mehr über unser Selbstbild und unseren Wunsch nach Gruppenzugehörigkeit aus als über tatsächliche, nachweisbare Effizienz. Lasst uns wieder auf die echten Engpässe schauen: unsere Prozesse und die Zusammenarbeit.

The Something Something Power Law of unit tests:

If one unit test is failing, that tends to be easy to fix.

If 10 unit tests are failing, that tends to be hard to fix.

If all unit tests are failing, that one’s easy again.

There's a type of guy whose only contribution at work is sheer volume of outputs, whether or not they serve any purpose. #AI tools ask us, "what if everyone could be that guy?"

It turns out that the result is bad for everyone. Systems lose their ability to evaluate whether outputs are fit for purpose. Shared intent disappears.

Scaling up trash only makes more trash. Work that doesn't pave a road to a better system is waste.

#introduction
Hi! 👋 I'm mostly here to talk/learn about #agile #softwaredevelopment. I've been building software for over 25 years but only really aware of Agile for half of that. I write in my blog once in a blue moon www.team-agile.com

Also passionate about #cats #rollerderby #scifi #science

This is beautiful; pure poetry: https://obsidian.md/blog/less-is-safer/

(Obsidian’s dependency-management philosophy.)

I have a suggestion: If you have a project or repo that's getting popular, stop writing features for a few months and implement this instead.

In case you missed it earlier, "EU CRA: It's Later Than You Think, Time to Engineer Up!" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eu_cra_its_later_than_you_think_time_to_engineer_up.html (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/09/eu-cra-its-later-than-you-think-time-to.html) is a call to up your engineering game in time for the Act to introduce the requirement to do so.

Written for an introductory workshop. #softwaredevelopment #engineering #security #sbom #dependencies

In my latest video, I talk about how successful software development methodologies (like @kentbeck 's eXtreme programming) are systems, and because of that, you can't just do a part and expect it to work...

Started editing my next video about #softwareDevelopment and #bonsai. In the mean time, you can watch my previous video, where I try to discuss the questions "Is it unethical to use AI?" and "Is it unethical to NOT use it?" here: https://videos.devteams.at/w/xhhjdKiBwgi4JhtNj6cTCf

I also had an idea for a different kind of video, which is not about bonsai, but about coding. Maybe more about that next week - maybe. You can clearly see, I'm having fun again creating videos - and that's good.

A picture of my desk and my computer screens. The larger one of the screens is showing the timeline view of DaVinci Resolve, the smaller one some additional tools. In the forground, you can see a keyboard, a water glass, a coffee cup and some clutter.

When we started this, we didn't know that the puzzle pieces would form this picture. Turns out modern compliance points to the same place as innovation... Continuous Delivery.
