(3) Do.Not. Trust. the AI when it declares success. Whether something actually *works* you need to check yourself. I'll leave this example here - the AI broken 25 tests, and decided after fixing one of the failures that the rest probably isn't their fault.

The trick, of course, is to know what's actually inefficient. Too often criticism from newcomers falls into 3 groups: (1) I wish the world was simpler (2) We would be faster if somebody else did some of our work (3) Stuff would be easier if regulations did not apply to us

Had a lovely time giving the opening keynotes at CLOSER'25 and ECEIS'25 this week in Porto. Small conferences, but lovely community, and a chance to catch up with some old and new friends.

Weren't we going to coordinate the submission deadlines of @icseconf.bsky.social, FSE, and ASE? I guess it's safe to say that this failed spectacularly?

The first telco of my life was with a Swedish guy. I was so impressed with his English, I asked him if he was originally from the UK (he wasn’t). My second telco was with three engineers from Waterford, Ireland. Despite my utmost attempts I could barely follow the conversation.
