🚀 My Coding Journey: From Novice to Professional Developer 🌟 I’d like to take a moment to reflect on my programming journey and the milestones that have shaped my career so far. ✅ 2017: The Beginning My adventure began with C and C++. These languages taught me the fundamentals of programming, algorithms, and memory management. The thrill of writing my first program sparked a passion for coding that has only grown stronger. ✅ 2018: Diving into .NET The following year, I explored the .NET framework. It introduced me to the world of web applications and server-side programming, expanding my understanding of software development. ✅ 2019: Java Enthusiast In 2019, I embraced Java, which further refined my object-oriented programming skills. Its versatility in building cross-platform applications opened new horizons for me. ✅ 2021: The JavaScript Revolution I ventured into the realm of JavaScript, specifically the MERN stack. Learning MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js not only enhanced my web development capabilities but also ignited my interest in creating dynamic user experiences. ✅ 2022: Mobile Development with React Native The following year, I delved into mobile app development using React Native. This experience taught me how to bridge web and mobile technologies, allowing me to create seamless applications across platforms. ✅ 2023: Embracing Python In 2023, I took on the challenge of Python programming. Its simplicity and elegance have deepened my appreciation for clean code and efficient problem-solving. ✅ 2021-2024: Specializing in JavaScript Frameworks Throughout these years, I’ve been actively working with various JavaScript frameworks, including React.js, Node.js, express.js Next.js, Election.js, React Native, and Angular. Each framework has its unique strengths, and mastering them has been instrumental in my growth as a developer. As I look back, I am grateful for the knowledge I've gained and the challenges I've overcome. The journey has been rewarding, filled with continuous learning and professional growth. I’m excited to see where this path takes me next, and I’m always eager to connect with fellow developers and share insights! #CodingJourney #SoftwareDevelopment #MERNStack #JavaScript #Python #ReactNative #ContinuousLearning

KuppingerCole EIC 2024 - Candy Czar This is the first of several posts regarding my attendance at EIC 2024. While these other posts will focus on the interesting topics discussed during the week, e.g. eIDAS, wallets, AI, decentralized identity, etc. I wanted to begin by acknowledging some of the vendors and support staff that often get overlooked in making a conference successful. One person that I wanted to acknowledge is Rachelle Jonkman, a senior account executive at LastPass who was staffing the candy station. Anyone who has attended a KuppingerCole Analysts AG event, is well aware of the candy station. This year KuppingerCole allowed vendors to sponsor it, and Rachelle was diligently manning the station on behalf of LastPass. She always treated attendees with a smile and ensured the candy dishes were well-stocked and neatly organized. In talking with Rachelle during one of my candy runs, she commented that one person had called her the candy girl. At first blush, I thought that was funny. However, on further reflection, I wondered if that same person would have called a male colleague from LastPass a Candy Boy. I joked with Rachelle that I was hereby promoting her to Candy Czar which is a gender neutral title. Historically, EIC has ended shortly after noon on Friday. This year some additional sessions were added after the lunch break. While many vendors were breaking down their booths early, Rachelle was there greeting people with a smile and doing her job. When I asked how she had not run out of candy, she acknowledged that they were running low and she and her colleagues had run out and restocked so they would not run out on the last day. So a tip of the hat to the vendors and support staff that make conferences enjoyable and productive for the attendees. #KuppingerCole #EIC2024 #WomenInIdentity #LastPass #DigitalIdentity

What lessons does CrowdStrike have for AI safety? David masterfully explains that resillient AI systems need human operators to *understand* the system, and be *empowered* to edit the system as needed -- interpretability is key to unlock both.

I can't wait to share some updates on CaptionKit! You can compare two videos: before and after. In the first version of the app, when generating subtitles, we didn’t pay much attention to pauses, which led to breaks. For example, the start of a new sentence could end up at the end of the current one (take a look at the words I’M and STAY). In the new version, we implemented a more advanced system based on splitting and further analysis. As a result, we’ve eliminated ‘orphaned words’ and improved synchronization. We're submitting it for review today!

How to save web pages for posterity? 11% of references in Wikipedia articles lead nowhere, even though they were working when the article was published. This phenomenon of “link rot” — the gradual deletion or relocation of online content — is rapidly becoming a major problem. 38% of pages that existed ten years ago are no longer accessible today. So, if there’s a web page out there that you like or need, the wise move would be to create a backup. Here are some useful tips on how keep the web pages the way you want, or easily locate a web archive 👉 https://kas.pr/6g3u

Open source is not about reading code. It is about freedom. With a lot of visual development platforms closing shop or introducing massiv price increases this year, It is important to remember why Open source matters: https://lnkd.in/dHZXZPvH

🚘 Mobile Driver's license in your #EUDIWallet? Today I would like to give the answer on which Qualified Electronic Attestation of Attributes (QEAAs) will be available in the EUDI-Wallet in almost 2 years - to anticipate the driver's license is one of these attestations. In future, the #EUDIW will not only contain the 👩‍💼 ID card, but also all kinds of other official documents - of course only if the citizen wants to store them in the wallet. In order to ensure that the attestations actually belong to a person and are right, the attestations are issued by a #QTSP who guarantee the authenticity of the information. For this purpose, the QTSP check the identity of the person, obtains the relevant original data from authentic sources (e.g. public registers) and issues the attestation into the wallet of the user. For QTSPS, issuing QEAAs therefore creates a new, interesting business opportunity. Annex VI of the #eIDAS Regulation defines which attestations must be issued as #QEAA (and not as EAA). The following attestations are listed here: 👉 Address 👉 Age 👉 Gender 👉 Civil status 👉 Family composition 👉 Nationality or citizenship 👩‍🎓 Educational qualifications, titles and licences 👨‍🏫 Professional qualifications, titles and licences 👉 Powers and mandates to represent natural or legal persons 🏛 Public permits and licences 💰 For legal persons, financial and company data From my point of view, public permits and licenses are particularly interesting.  This includes, for example, the 🚘 mobile driver's license, which will probably be the attestation that citizens will store even more often than their ID-card in the EUDI-wallet. With your mobile driver's license in your wallet, you no longer have to carry it with you in physical form and you will easily be able to show it at a 👮‍♀‍ police control whenever that is necessary. Which QEAA would you like to store first in your EUDI-Wallet?

Our evaluation of Mistral AI #Codestral for code generation 🤖 We use an internal benchmark in ReactNative, based on real-world dev tasks inspired by our projects. 🙂 The good - Codestral is blazing fast - It gives results on par with GPT-4 Turbo (the best performing model so far) and better than Claude 3 or GTP-4o - It's less lazy than GPT-4 in some cases (eg. does not inject "TODO" comments as eagerly) 🙁 The less good - Seems to perform better on short tasks, GPT-4 Turbo is still better at generating multiple long files in one go (thus the difference in tokens in our benchmark) - It's worse than both GPT-4 and Claude at modifying current files. In our benchmark it involves regenerating the whole file, so it may be related to the point above 🗂 Verdict: great potential as code completion tool (and it seems that Mistral is pushing this as main usage), and great for shorter generations. #futureofsoftware #genai #codegeneration Big up Mikhail D., Eric Montagnon and Matthieu Bézard for working on this benchmark. PS. I know that Bleu has been challenged as a relevant metric for code generation, we are already migrating to another metric. It's not integrated in our CodeGen CI yet.
