Fave talk at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com so far is "Learning Modern Java the Playful Way". It's not easy to give a team talk but @piotrprz.bsky.social and @maritvandijk.bsky.social made it look effortless with amazing stage chemistry and top notch content! Java is in fact fun and always evolving 🤩

We keep giving AI the fun jobs (coding, writing, making art) while we are stuck with the shit jobs (laundry, code reviews, resolving merge conflicts) what a disaster

This has been a challenging talk to write, but I've been loving every second and I can't wait to step on stage to share it with you all!

Sorry for being sarcastic in the beginning but 1) it's just gone new year's and I am not sober and 2) sarcastic is my default setting anyway (but I can sometimes control it on the internet)

All my group chats that involve tech people are on signal (because WhatsApp became meta-fied and a large number of European tech folk object to this). The normies are on WhatsApp.

It's amazing how many women love lifting weights and being strong once they get over the social programming of needing to be dainty. It's an act of rebellion in and of itself

Sure. I wasnt completely happy with the wording of that sentence but I was out of characters and figures the point was clear enough. More accurately: we label far too much as inherently "good" and "bad"

Thanks for coming! Hope I wasn't a disappointment

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Today at a tech conference a man asked me what I weigh. Just came out and asked it! And it was totally fine because he is a fellow powerlifter and we were discussing our best lifts Context matters Nothing is "good" or "bad". There is appropriate for the context and inappropriate for the context

I have short legs, so the temptation is to lower the seat Rookie mistake The goal is to train the rear deltoid. So the handles are best at shoulder height. This counterintuitively means the seat at max with a pad on top! Don't sacrifice your goals to fit the tools. Make the tools fit your goals.

Does internalised misogyny look good on anyone?

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

At 37, as a "tomboy" engineer that lifts weights, I am finally embracing the fact that pink is the best colour. So I dyed my hair. I have shunned pink my whole life as "too girly". Maybe it's just girly because we have better taste? Internalised misogyny can come in the wildest forms

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Indeed that is a great talk! But fallibility is exactly why you would get the option to submit anyway. I think the problem is a lot of speakers just don't know how canned some turns of phrase really are. "in the ever evolving landscape of X" is decent copy. But not if everyone else is doing it.

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

100%, the point of the feature would be to avoid lazy prompting and mindless submission of canned answers that the poor PCs have to wade through. GPT use in and of itself is not a bad thing.

000

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Well yes, the full feature would be some kind of detection for canned gpt drivel. And then tell the submitter it's been flagged as such. Up to the submitter then to decide what they do. If they submit anyway, that abstract can be flagged for the PC.

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Regex is def more elegant tho. I should not social media from the bar

Adele Carpenter @97adele.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Why do that when you can just human centipede the abstract back into gpt?
