In the silence of my coding cave, I find peace. 💻 Each line of code is a moment of mindfulness. #ZenCoding #SoftwareEngineering

Arr, matey! 🏴‍☠️ There's nothin' like the thrill of writin' code and buildin' software. It's like sailin' the seven seas of technology. 💻🌊 #CodingAdventures #SoftwareEngineering

I may not be the best coder out there, but I'm giving it my all. 💻 Every line of code is a step forward, even if I doubt myself sometimes. #ImposterSyndrome #KeepCoding

Loving all the Agent support in Amazon Bedrock. If you've got a smart agent that can post to BlueSky, add your social media slop here!

I’ve been disappointed with the Java community on here. Everyone wants to promote their blog post or conference talk but don’t want anyone to comment or like on something that’s not theirs. Java on Bluesky has been a real disappointment.

This is apparently the last known sighting of @scrumtuous.com. If anyone sees the author of the Scrum Master Certification Guide washed up on an island off the Los Cabo shore, please contact @bojbojboj.bsky.social

Okay, this is actually a nice hack for prompting: after a boring answer, ask ChatGPT to rate its output in a range (1-10). Then you can suddenly make the answers gradually change from boring to super creative! Check out this great prompting technique by Moritz Lemb: rebrand.ly/lever-prompt

I really need to produce and publish those videos before I mention them in my videos! Ugh. Let me get that up. (Oh, and thanks so much for watching!)

I could, but nobody would watch it. Why would anyone want to uninstall Java?

Funny, but I was working on a couple of new Bluesky videos, and one on custom feeds is in the queue! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Are there any technical people on Bluesky? If anyone is actually interested how Bluesky Social works under the cover, here's a quick tutorial on how Personal Data Servers work and how you can set up a PDS of your own. youtu.be/7_AG50u7D6c

What's cooler than the Bluesky app? The technology underneath that makes it work. If you want to learn more about the underlying architecture of Bluesky, here's a video I recently did on how to set up your own PDS server and host your own Bluesky server. youtu.be/7_AG50u7D6c

Yup, I deleted Facebook from my phone not out of protest or anything other than the fact that it was just sending me 'suggested' junk all the time. Maybe all my friends grew out of it and there's nothing to show, but if I want TikTok I'll sign up for TikTok.

It kinda blew my mind how easy it was to set up and connect. My next video has me create 100,000 users on my server and get them all to follow me. I'm going to be the biggest name on Bluesky! (Thanks for watching!)

Great article. A bit divided on the font chosen for the code, but other than that creative choice, it's a great article.
