Code & Comedy 2024–This session will give you 2.6 hours of your time back

Yesterday I had the pleasure to present at Code & Comedy 2024. Again it was a great combination of inspiring sessions, great food and a lot of nice people to meet.

All of this followed by a Comedy Act by Jan Jaap van der Wal. I never thought that AI could be that much fun!

Note to myself: Next time make sure that I’m not one of the 2 Flemish guys in the room.

I did a presentation titled "This session will give you 2,6h a day of your time back!"; which is a hard promise to make, so I hope that the participants could confirm if I succeeded or not.

In the session I shared some surprising insights in behavioral science and explained how we can apply this knowledge in building AI assistants.

In case you missed my session or you want to a look at the code in more detail, here are the relevant links:

I’m already looking forward for the next edition!

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
