Soft skills? LOL, who needs them? – Career Weekly vol. 11
I followed plenty of reports from Twitter and Meta. I also read dozens of the comments to the CEOs statements. You know what? It’s terrible that the leaders of our hi-tech world can’t communicate well. Let's not be like them and appreciate the soft skills again!

Much Ado About Observability – JEP making profiling easier and Quarkus dropping MicroProfile standard – JVM Weekly #112
When I started compiling the current edition I thought that there would be totally nothing to write about. However, it turned out that the topic of Observability in the JVM is really interesting, and the recent announcements allowed me to take a slightly better look at it. I hope you will also enjoy such a somewhat thematic edition.

Is Github Copilot legal? And will the topic be handled by the court? – Software Craftsmanship Weekly #110
The new edition is a bit late, but hopefully, the content will make up for it a bit for you. It will be about the Digital Market Act, the lawsuit hanging over Copilot, and also about Elon.... well, because in the end I also had to add my three cents to the discussion 🤷

Use this tricks to scare devs away – Career Weekly vol. 9
Don't like recruitment forms? Neither do we, especially when they're designed to be a nightmare. We also don't like it when big companies stop hiring and chaos starts to reign on one of our favourite social media platforms. Fortunately, there are positives to be found in each of these topics!

Why don’t Cloud IDEs achieve wider adoption? And should we even care? – Software Craftsmanship Weekly #109
I know there's been a lot going on lately, but we'll try to keep this edition very technical for the sake of balance. Therefore, instead of about Twitter, it will be about Ethereum, Cloud IDE, and the new Technology Radar.
