+Hello there, I wish you all a happy new year! These are my social media posts from the last six months. I keep them here to reflect on them and also to not lose them. Social media networks come and go and are not under my control, but my domain is here to stay.
+
+These are from Mastodon and LinkedIn. Have a look at my about page for my social media profiles. This list is generated with Gos, my social media platform sharing tool.

+We (programmers) all use them (I hope): language servers. LSP stands for Language Server Protocol, which standardizes communication between coding editors or IDEs and language servers, facilitating features like autocompletion, refactoring, linting, error-checking, etc.... It's interesting to look under the hood a little bit to see how your code editor actually communicates with a language server. #LSP #coding #programming

+I also feel the most comfortable in the #terminal. There are a few high-level tools where it doesn't make always a lot of sense like web-browsing most of the web, but for most of the things I do, I prefer the terminal. I think it's a good idea to have a terminal-based interface for most of the things you do. It makes it easier to automate things and to work with other tools.

It is a 100% open-source agentic coding tool, which supports all models from including local ones (e.g. DeepSeek), and has got some nice tweaks like side-by-side diffs and you can also use your favourite text $EDITOR for prompt editing! Highly recommend! #llm #coding #programming #agentic #ai

More people don't necessarily produce better results. Additionally, Ruby's metaprogramming isn't ideal for large projects. A burnout. And many more insights....

+
+With the help of genai, I could generate this neat small showcase site, of many of my small to medium sized side projects. The projects descriptions were generated by Claude Code CLI with Sonnet 4 based on the git repo contents. The page content by gitsyncer, a tool I created (listed on the showcase page as well) and gemtexter, which did the HTML generation part (another tool I wrote, listed on the showcase page as well). The stats seem neat, over time a lot of stuff starts to pile up! With the age of AI (so far, only 8 projects were created AI-assisted), I think more projects will spin up faster (not just for me, but for everyone working on side projects). I have more (older) side projects archived on my local NAS, but they are not worth digging out... 📦 Total Projects: 55 📊 Total Commits: 10,379 📈 Total Lines of Code: 252,969 📄 Total Lines of Documentation: 24,167 💻 Languages: Java (22.4%), Go (17.6%), HTML (14.0%), C++ (8.9%), C (7.3%), Perl (6.3%), Shell (6.3%), C/C++ (5.8%), XML (4.6%), Config (1.5%), Ruby (1.1%), HCL (1.1%), Make (0.7%), Python (0.6%), CSS (0.6%), JSON (0.3%), Raku (0.3%), Haskell (0.2%), YAML (0.2%), TOML (0.1%) 📚 Documentation: Text (47.4%), Markdown (38.4%), LaTeX (14.2%) 🤖 AI-Assisted Projects: 8 out of 55 (14.5% AI-assisted, 85.5% human-only) 🚀 Release Status: 31 released, 24 experimental (56.4% with releases, 43.6% experimental) #llm #genai #showcase #coding #programming
