It was only a few years back that I was reminded there was in fact a methodology for cloud-based apps: Twelve-Factor App methodology – Wikipedia
Despite me following most of the factors there already (similarly that I have been doing agile software development using extreme programming techniques since the mid 1980s, long before it before they got formal in the 1990s and early 2000s), it helps to have a good vocabulary, so below are some links

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: Brooklyn Zelenka on Local-First Software | gotopia.tech
It is a great session with guidance how to kind of go “back to the future” by amending cloud based applications to run locally by means of caching and syncing data. No small feat, but very convenient for end-users to have their – recently regarded as old-fashioned – local running applications back.
There is a – member’s only – video of it as well at [Wayback/Archive] Beyond the Cloud: The Local-First Software Revolution • Brooklyn Zelenka & Julian Wood • GOTO 2025 – YouTube

For my link archive the [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @cwolferesearch on Thread Reader App starting with [Wayback/Archive] Cameron R. Wolfe on Twitter: “After GPT-3 was proposed, a lot of research was done to find an even better language model. Initial attempts focused on just training larger models. Contrary to popular belief, however, there is more to creating a good language model than size… 🧵[1/8]” / Twitter
3 years later, I’m anxious to know what the current state of the art on GPT is, as between GPT-2 and GPT-3 there was about a 3 year period.

At the end of 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, [Wayback/Archive] den (@DennisCode) / Twitter started [Wayback/Archive] Engineering Festivus
The only thing 2020 needed is Seinfeld making a career change and getting into tech.
It is a series of IT parodies that at the time of writing just had its’ 35th episode: [Wayback/Archive] den on Twitter: “Kubernetes.”
Kubernetes
Kramer decided to use Kubernetes for his website. Jerry tries to explain what that entails. Kramer is adamant to do it all himself.

Fron a while ago but still relevant [Wayback/Archive] Is it Pokémon or Big Data?.
It is a cool experiment to test your own knowledge or for fun to assess recruiters or candidates (;
And it is open source too:

Still relevant: [Wayback/Archive] The Twelve-Factor App and [Wayback/Archive] 12 Fractured Apps — Medium
Once Docker hit the scene the benefits of the 12 Factor App (12FA) really started to shine. For example, 12FA recommends that logging should be done to stdout and be treated as an event stream. Ever run the docker logs command? That’s 12FA in action!
Via
12factor.net still the thing or is there a new thing?”–jeroen

10 years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend the [Wayback/Archive] GDG DevFest Netherlands 2014.
Until then, on the mobile front, I only had deep experience with the .NET Compact Framework, on the cloud framework I had no real experience: my experience were (sometimes huge) systems running in private data centers communicating with various protocols over SNA and TCP/IP (and way before that: UUCP and dial-up) and on the programming front my strengths were .NET and Delphi (with truckloads of scripting) and no experience in Go or Dart (Rust was invented a year later).
So I was really happy with the [Wayback/Archive] TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
I think this comment by Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on a G+ post is one of the best complements we’ve got:“Thanks for organizing this. It was a great conference! A great mix of things outside my comfort zone and things I could relate to from a very different perspective: wonderful and inspiring.”
G+ plus is gone, but this memory will last forever as this was a start widening my horizon learning about GDG like I knew about SDN*, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero DevRel and Microsoft DevRel.

It was about 2 years ago that Jilles reminded me I had a flight case with gadgets too.
Back when I assembled it in 2018, I had big plans for showing private “cloud” container experimentation and gadget stuff at conferences. Then 2019 kicked in with rectum cancer.
So it was good that he helped me motivating to get it working again, especially as the time around assembling it so much fun and working on it brought back those days.
Here are the pictures:
