😂 beautiful. I had something similar while traveling from NL to the US. Someone wanted to plan a meeting with me at 9:30. I proposed 10:30. Was slightly annoyed when I got an invite for 9:30. Asked why it wasn't at 10:30. Organizer said it was. Turned out I was flying over the UK in a -1 timezone 😅

Every developer starts by learning. The real growth happens when you start sharing. 🚀 At #dev2next, @bjschrijver.dev's keynote showed how this simple cycle transformed his career — and how it can transform yours too. 📸 Photos from the session below!

I'll be back on stage at @devoxx.com in Antwerp in October to present three sessions: a talk about software architecture, a serverless deep dive and a speaker coaching session. Hope to see you here!

Played around a bit with MCP integration with @quarkus.io, @langchain4j.dev and Ollama during the yearly hackathon with the @openvalue.eu Utrecht team. Built a small example setup with 2 @quarkus.io apps - an MCP client that connects to an MCP server over HTTP: github.com/bertjan/quar...

Works on my Mac M1 with OSX Sequoia 15.1.1! I did need to configure additional security settings to allow it to start, probably because the executable isn't signed:
