I always thought that if I gave @KLM my preference, and as a long-standing GOLD member, I would get a free upgrade one day.
On my last flight, I learned that if you give the stewards some chocolate, they do what KLM does not.
Thanks for teaching me to bribe, fellow passenger.

- Gemini on Android Auto is an absolute game changer for active commuting. Before I could listen, podcasts or books, now... Now I can write blog posts by having conversations, lay the foundation of research for a project, even generate code. Holy shit.
- It's pretty cool that I'm doing my first speaking gig in Brazil on the same night that @AmsterdamPHP is on. Feels like the universe in balance.
- Galera de Brasília! Voltei! Adoraria ver e rever muitos de vocês e achei uma ótima oportunidade no Meetup da CodeCon! Cola lá galera! eventos.codecon.dev/eventos/brasil…
- @KLM tiny flight, empty business class, short flight.... And even with all that and my 3 years of Gold status... You simply won't upgrade me for free.... Why?
