Had burritos, swapped culture stories, and ended up singing “Stairway to Heaven” with a room full of Java devs. Not your average @jugnoord.bsky.social night. Shout-out to @rijosam.com & @hanno.codes for the laughs, lessons, and live music. 💙🎸 #JUGNoord #Java #DevLife #SoftSkills

Behind him is a big screen with a cool photo that was taking during his key note at Devoxx Belgium a couple years ago. On the left you see some attendees from the JUGNoord event in the DUO building.

I used to think the best reason to attend a conference was for the talks—until I met this guy and saw his incredible photos. 📸

None of the achievements I've ever had would have been possible without you, @ancythomas.bsky.social. You're my greatest supporter, my toughest critic. Thank you for everything! Special thanks to @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social for perfectly capturing her in the moment as she captured me.

A few years ago, my confidence in encryption and cryptography was shaken by an issue with a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). An unintentional mistake in choosing a blocking algorithm resulted in timeouts for many customers.  You can read more about PRNGs in my latest @foojay.io article.
