For over two years now I've been working on the revival of a community calendar that was built in the heady days of the sharing economy before Uber and friends extracted every ounce of community goodwill in their thurst for profit.

A FOSS self hosted community ecosystem calendar (like say one for the local indie band scene) seems like a natural fit for the fediverse.

I've been unpacking some ideas for how this might work in the discussions on the code repo.

Would love folks to give it a read and give any feedback.

Over-engineering takeaways:
➡️ Misjudging future requirements can lead to inappropriate abstractions.
➡️ Avoiding over-engineering can be as impactful as achieving technical brilliance.
➡️Simplicity is key to maintainability.
➡️Avoid predicting needs that aren't certain.
➡️Create abstractions that align with current and reasonable future requirements.

Once again, GMail is helpfully shepherding me to overcommit myself by *only* providing 'Yes' suggestions when someone asks me to do a thing.

But, here's a secret: I already know many good ways to say 'Yes' to things! Those words already flow out of my fingers very easily.

I would find it far, *far* more helpful and labor-saving if Google would provide a variety of starting points to kindly/politely say 'No' to a request.

I'm excited to be teaching my #DiagramsAsCode with #AI workshop live and in-person at #GOTO #Copenhagen! 🙌

Join me to:
💡 Gain a grounding in #PlantUML, #MermaidJS, and #Structurizr
💡 Understand the tradeoffs of diagrams-as-code and models vs. standard diagrams
💡 Recognise the limitations and useful use cases of using diagrams-as-code with LLMs
