And it's done! Welcome to my face-lifted blog. jochen.kirstaetter.name Over the weekend I wrote a conversion tool to fully migrate from @TryGhost to @docfxproject static pages. All content is now in Markdown with front-matter attributes and versioned in a git repository. #gde

I'm genuinely surprised how quick and easy switching from NuGet API key to Trusted Publishing went. One GitHub action in, change reference((s) to value, and add username. learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/nuget/... Setup in NuGet is equally simple.

Little stealth side-hustle... Going to wrap up the CI/CD pipeline, polish the ReadMe and then push it to NuGet Gallery. Has been fun using @antigravity and various Gemini models to get this done. Typical 80:20 situation. Front-end styling took most of the time. #mvpbuzz #gde

Surfing the web and catching up on news while Google Antigravity is researching how the template engine of DocFx project is working. I need details and instructions on completing a conversion tool from another platform. Template handling is left only...

Everyone is using AI these days, right? Noor Yadallee - The rise of the machines (within the office) - has some good advice and experience to share with the audience.

Today's monthly meeting of MSCC is happening at Novity, it's about business evolution with AI. First, Michael Razafiarison - Good enough, until it isn't: from business model to programming.

Time for an enhanced custom Antigravity statusline 🚀 Nerd font detection 💡 Explicit model effort ⚙️ JSON theme config ⚠️ YOLO badge ⚡ Updates and fixes! 🧨 Bash & PowerShell parity github.com/jochenkirsta... @JackWoth98 @shengzheyao @BellDoit

Touché OpenCode Guess I'm too much accustomed to the flow of information by Antigravity and Copilot that this is a new, weird experience. OK, let's sit tight and wait for feedback. Like with an actual developer.

Using the locally, eh on island, provided AI models like Gemma 4 26B in OpenCode to improve my custom statusline for Google Antigravity. This is mainly some tests and experimentation, as I could have used Antigravity itself to do this job.

It's nice to see humor is still around. Set up another instance of opencode against open source AI models hosted by Mauritius Telecom here on the island. Sovereign computing

Glad that I'm still part of the Microsoft MVP program. It's been a pleasure to share my experience with other developers. Humbled to have been awarded for another year. Let's keep pushing for more content. #mvpbuzz

Cornering a new term "AI City" as the outlook in Mauritius for the coming years. 🤔

Towards local AI sovereignty here in Mauritius. Attending the allmyt Summit to get latest info for our community and producers.

Teaching Antigravity CLI how to make use of a local instance of Ollama and models. Going to create a skill or plugin to provide easy access to offline models available on the system. Hence playing with the /goal command at the same time. Stay tuned....

Sadly, Codeberg.org still gives me an HTTP 504 (even got an HTTP 503) in-between. Guess it's Friday and therefore weekend. I'm sure the team is working on a fix. The updated statusline for @antigravity CLI is working fine and will be published ASAP. Pinky promise.

New cycle mode indicator in Antigravity CLI has been added to my statusline. Currently observing an HTTP 504 from Codeberg and can't push the code. Bear with me... codeberg.org/jochenkirsta... Let's get more comfort and info at your fingertips.

Good to be back, Jo'burg Stage is ready for the first Google Cloud Summit. Lots of people queuing up and I'm looking forward to networking a lot. #googlecloudsummitjhb

Speaking at GDG Pretoria is on a different level. We're at the Audi car dealership. Speaking about Antigravity and how it can help you launching your ideas into products. 🤘

Still full house here at Accenture Mauritius and many conversations during the break. Now, our next session on code quality: Koffi Eli Kponblanou & Wahid Ousman Rughony - Clean Code: The Hard Part And there are more parts than you might know about.

Today's monthly meeting of MSCC is happening at Accenture Mauritius. We're covering Code Quality & Maintainability First, Renghen - Understanding fundamentals to write good code - with his usual slack of vocabulary. 🤘

The #BuildLocalhost event on Saturday was good fun. Three speakers (2 MVPs) spoke about Azure, Copilot, MCP servers, Skills, Agents, and Microsoft models and how the whole eco-system can help in your daily tasks. A little bit over 30 participants. Thanks to the NUGM and Novity!

🚀 Build //localhost:Ebene is happening! Join us this Saturday for hands-on demos and connection with local devs. Free + in-person. RSVP 👉 www.meetup.com/net-user-gro... #buildlocalhost #MSBuild

Swag is always welcome! Especially after providing feedback to @developers.google.com products like Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Jules agent and Stitch Build your Skills 🤘 #GDEgiftfromGoogle #gdeofficial #gde

Now that we have an overview of software architecture it's time to get into the details. What better than to check out Ish Sookun - A 12-Factor Roadmap for Modern PHP Infrastructure?

Straight from the last meetup, someone got inspired to speak. First up, Ajmal Saifudeen - What is Enterprise Architecture and why should Developers care? How does this apply for the Mauritian context?

Today's monthly meeting of MSCC is starting. We're all set for Software Architecture. What's it? Who cares? What is the 12-point system? Thanks Klanik for hosting.
