Andrew MacLean asks @Spotify to analyse his dance moves for a new feature. Let's see if they build it 😉

something something border-top something border-bottom something something 🙃 absolutely criminal barbering right here

I really do care about the environment, and token reduction… but I also enjoy vibe coding pointless things for fun. The struggle is real 🙃

As a native English speaker, I always admire it when people put themselves out there speaking a second or third language. I often see people get shy or self-conscious about minor mistakes, and always want to tell them that (especially in English), if the listener understands what you’re trying to convey, that’s all that matters. If you can converse, whether you have a heavy accent or whatever, your English is good enough, and nobody but the speaker notices mistakes. Even ‘British English’ has like 50+ dialects, each one filled with ‘mistakes’ that are grammatically incorrect, but standard for the way people speak in the area. At the world congress in San Jose, just like in Berlin, speakers and attendees were from all over the world, and it never fails to amaze me when I see people switch between languages when meeting people, or present on stage in their non-native language. Of course, English sounds better when it’s @FrancescoCiull4 speaking it 🤭 Respect to @mscode07 right here sharing his German (I really should get learning, right @WeAreDevs? 😅), as a Brit we really miss out on the gift of languages! I’ll also be talking to @RoxanaCodes next week on the LIVE show about teaching devs in two languages, so I’m hoping for a free Spanish lesson then, too (por favor) 🤞 Anyway ramble over, happy Wednesday 🫡

Katy is one of the good ones, a super experienced engineer, she’s back on X and has moved to Paris! Devs in France, go connect with her and share any opportunities you know of! Repost the post below 👇 🇫🇷

Would you still be friends with someone who sends 10min+ long voice messages every day?

I was checking out the @EntireHQ booth at @WeAreDevs, got chatting to @jkcso and he told me he was running a workshop in 40mins, so we filmed, edited, export and shared this on all of our socials within 4mins 🙌🏃 So fun to just have chance moments and share them, love my job 🥹

ADHD rabbithole of the day: this guy is Nigel Richards, and he’s the greatest Scrabble player ever. After dominating the English-language version of the game (5 world titles), he memorised the entire French dictionary in 9 weeks (despite not speaking French) and won the French-language world championships. He then did the same again, but in Spanish. Absolutely incredible 🤯 Anyway happy Monday and all that 🙃

cry in a dark room mostly 🤷‍♂️

So so so so many people came up and told me how much they loved @kelseyhightower’s session at the World Congress. Catch it and hundreds of other sessions over at WeAreDevelopers.com 🤙 Incredddddible few days at @WeAreDevs. Thanks to every one of youuuuu🥹🥹

My little beepboop bro has been on the beers 🍺

He likes Rust.

Normalise dressing like this for every single developer conference

So good to bump into @jkcso here at @WeAreDevs 🙌 Join the @EntireHQ live AI presentation over at Stage 5 at 11.40am with Joseph, and learn how Entire is re-imagining the AI-native developer lifecycle. Don’t miss it 👀

It’s Day 2! If you’re here at the @WeAreDevs World Congress North America, come say Hi 👋 I want to hear all about your best bits from the event so far* *Plus if you have a fake moustache on you, I can get more @twilio smoothies (I’ve had 4 🤣) so I’ll love you forever for that

Amazing to meet @HaimantikaM of @EntireHQ (such a nice surprise!!) and the legend John Romero @romero yesterday at @WeAreDevs, as well as so so so many amazing devs and techies! You really can’t beat in-person conferences! 🥹

I choose to take this as a compliment* *Djovokic is 2years older than me 🙃
