I’ve come to realize that it’s just as hard to sit down and write code as it is to write text.

It feels like a hundred years ago that I went to one of my first big conferences.

I’ve heard people say they don’t buy books anymore, claiming that everything they want to learn is available on YouTube or somewhere on the web.

Lately, there have been multiple supply chain attacks targeting the npm ecosystem.

A few days ago I found out about something called the IndieWeb.

This is a submission to the IndieWeb Carnival monthly writing challenge.

I’m a fairly normal person, living a fairly normal life, doing fairly normal work.

This is a bit different post compared to what I usually write about.

LLMs and AI are what everyone is talking about these days.

Yet another reflection based on a session at myConf.

A few days ago I attended the myConf conference.

During the last few days, I attended a software development conference in Varberg, Sweden, called myConf.

I work as a teacher helping adults become developers.

The Internet is a dangerous place.

During the last few years, our internet has become more private and secure with encrypted traffic using SSL certificates.

A week ago I joined up for the Ship30for30 digital writing course.

How to Take Smart Notes by Sönke Ahrens is a book packed with information.

Drive was a book that I started to read a long time ago.

I have always been stunned by the beautiful time-laps videos of clouds slowly rolling by on a beautiful blue sky.

A couple of years ago I came across a special notebook.

Pomodoro means Tomato in Italian.

“Mastodon is a free and open-source self-hosted social networking service.

Since I started to use Linux many many years ago, I have been exposed to many different text editors.

A certain amount of paranoia is good for you!

A couple of months ago I wrote a blog post about me trying out Debian on one of my laptops to figure out if it was something for me.

This weeks post was supposed to be about my Linux on the desktop/laptop test, but I ran into something quite interesting so I have to push that topic to the next post.

I am writing the draft of this blog post as I am travelling out of Amsterdam and the Netherlands after spending a couple of days here to meet a few of the worlds most productive people.

Please note this post describes an old setup of the blog.

I am spending most of the days in front of the computer.

As you may know by reading post from this blog, I am a bit nerdy.

I have been a long term iPhone user and this mainly because I have been everything Apple; iMac, Mac Book, iWatch and iPad.

I installed Linux for the first time… a long time ago.

In October 2008 I joined Facebook and my first status update said “have given in to the facebook pressure..”.

This year, I did not have the opportunity to go to San Francisco to attend Dreamforce.

During the last few years, chatbots have become a major topic in the discussion about finding ways to improve our customer interaction.

When you frequently work with web-based applications, such as Salesforce, you may run into small things that annoy you.

The blog has been silent for a few years.

Dreamforce is over.

The Salesforce platform is great when you want to quickly build applications because it will give you a lot of functionality for free.

I ran into an issue the other day while trying to deploy to an org with a lot of ongoing activity.

The 27th of June is almost like Christmas—it’s the day when you learn if your Dreamforce session was accepted or not.

Go, or golang, is a language I thought looked strange and sloppy, but with my long C-development background, it didn’t take me many hours to start loving the language and the large community growing around it.

On April 9:th I made a presentation at the Stockholm Salesforce Developer User Group Meetup about migration strategies and git.

When you build solutions on the force.com platform you should always try to make them robust but yet flexible.

I have been using the force IDE for a couple of years while doing development on the force.com platform.

One of the smallest but very interesting things I saw during this years Dreamforce was a small open source utility called force.com CLI.

Dreamforce is one of the biggest and most exciting computer software conferences.
