Love the new “remind me next weekend” option.

another day of having to explain (this time, to conference organizers) why, even though I have a VAT number, can make tax-deductible purchases, and pay a lot (a LOT) of taxes, I don't have a "company" and I can't afford their "business tickets"

(my statut juridique is "entreprise individuelle", which is confusing enough in France, and even more abroad)

Is this (the access modifiers) something that can be solved with a source generator (or any other way)?

Wrote a small serializer to convert PDF files to XML for easier snapshot testing with Verify: https://github.com/patriksvensson/wisp/blob/main/src/Wisp.Tests/Expectations/Open/Unpack.Output.verified.xml

Almost readable...

Added a small example of how to use Wisp over at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/patriksvensson/wisp

Is there a good tool on macOS to see processes and their spawned child-processes in a tree?

patriksvensson, 3 months ago to random

Having a child with special needs is time-consuming, and I think I got a sign tonight that I should stop spending time on open source. Been stretching myself thin between my child's needs, open source, and my regular job the last couple of years. Now might be a good time to stop.

Java needs a Jake or Kake...

Hot take: #Java is not that bad, in fact, it's pretty good.

Ok, friends. I need your best input on why the Internet was so much better before (all subjectively of course). I'll start:

1. RSS
2. Strongbad
3. IRC
4. No Stack Overflow
5. Forums

I attended a release party yesterday for the book "Silkesbadet", written by my oldest and closest friend, Agmall Sarwari.

I'm obviously biased, but it's a fantastic book. If you know Swedish, then you should absolutely check it out!

#Rust is known to solve certain problems, but nothing is free, right? What are common mistakes you might see in a Rust codebase?

Switched to Gradle since everyone told me that was more sane than Maven. I WILL NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT NUGET AGAIN!

A day full of Java programming. Never been this miserable. What a horrible experience coming from .NET. Maven needs to die in a fire.

Hear me out: PDF as a configuration file format.

Sometimes I accidentally stream music to the thermostat:

One thing I don't like with .NET (at least in C#) is the lack of innovation that we see in other languages such as Java, Go, and Rust. Reading link aggregators to blog posts about C# just gives me the impression that the same ideas and thoughts are repeated over and over.
