I don't do "it's my birthday" posts. But, when @sarka.bsky.social hits you with a fairly unique birthday card, it deserves to be shared 😁 Turning 40 btw, for anyone wondering. Check @webexpo.bsky.social btw 😎 Easily one of the better ones in Europe.

> Be me > Have totally legitimate reasons for running a mailing list > AWS SES rejects me citing security concerns after I followed their docs to the letter Given the wording and the "clarity" I gotta ask - Yo AWS, are these security concerns in the room with us now?

The story of spojdenovi.mk: Step 1 - Buy a domain after a few beers Step 2 - Forget about it for a time Step 3 - Build an (apparently) useful app after remembering you have the domain Step 4 - Someone writes an article about it?! Step 5 - ? Step 6 - Profit

I avoid doing politics, but enough is enough: Do better! Take back the internet, keep it weird, keep it authentic. To hell with tech feudalism. darko.io/posts/do-better

Fun fact: I have a small (60ish plants) garden in my front yard. I mostly DIY-ed it around april. The tomatoes kinda went crazy over the last few weeks. This is yesterday's haul. Ketchup/salsa time, I guess 😅

I recently finished "White Line Fever" 📖 Here's what Lemmy Kilmister taught me about B2B sales 👇 . . . Absolutely nothing. But give it a read, since it's a seminal piece on being authentic (something sorely lacking from social media, professional or otherwise) 😜

@cityjsconf.bsky.social killing it with the swag 🔥 I am now a proud owner of a mug with my face on it 😅

Now I can understand why @webexpo.bsky.social gets such high praises from everyone I've spoken to about it. 👇

No, the person reviewing this one hasn't murdered me (yet). Thanks for asking. I do owe him a bunch of beers tho 😅

My recent talk on web components turned into a more detailed article. WCs are not flashy, have an iffy DX, they are a compromise through-and-through, compared to modern frameworks. Is that compromise worth making? See for yourself 😉 👇 🔗

Swag storytime: The bee plushie named "Elephant" The fine folks from WaspLang had a booth at #ArmadaJS, and I got my grubby hands on one of those lovely plushies (thanks Mihovil). 🧵

In D&D lingo, DevRel people are the bards. 🎶 ⚔️ 🪄 I finally have a half-decent way of explaining what I do for a living. To D&D nerds, at least. 🎲

Put 10 DevRels in one room, ask them about their day-to-day work, and you'll end up with 15 different answers. 🤷‍♂️

Woke up with a quirky thought: DevOps and Infra work are the Dark Souls of software. No rhyme or reason, just a random thought. 🤷‍♂️ Boss battles one after another, even the tutorial is lethal (at least to me—I’m terrible with cloud infra).

Post your workstation setup. I'll get those cables managed one day. And that mess on the shelves sorted, too 😅 💻 Zephyrus G14 (Linux) 📹 Sony zv-e10 + phone cam, 💡ring light front, LED light right 🎤 Scarlett 2i2 knockoff, Shure SM57 knockoff (long story, but they sound the same, tested it)

The "Open Web" folks. Right next to "alternative facts" in the dictionary. Some companies, frameworks and individuals sure have some funny ideas about the meaning of "open".
