I just came across the article BuzzKill – BuzzFeed Nearing Bankruptcy After Disastrous Turn Toward AI and thought it might be worth sharing. Not because of schadenfreude but as a reminder that going all-in on a technology that you haven’t fully mastered is a gamble that risks the company’s existence. The article...

I just wanted to tick off another article that I had marked for “read later”. In Claude Code is blowing me away, Nick Hodges writes about his surprise how well Claude Code wrote a website plus payment connection for him. The story itself is impressive, no doubt. But a key sentence (to me) comes later […]

I can only advise everyone in tech: Go to events, meetups, and webinars — talk to people, exchange ideas. We all face similar challenges. You don’t have to solve everything alone. And if an event turns out to be a dud? Well, so be it — at least you might have grabbed some free food. […]

I really like having Jason Gorman’s blog posts in my RSS reader. Especially when he’s highlighting some critical issues with AI assisted coding. This paragraph for example really made me smile: For example, a common strategy they use when they’re not able to fix a problem they created is to delete failing tests, or...

Ich bin kein großer Fan davon, im Internet ge’tracked zu werden. Bisher dachte ich, Cookies löschen und Pi-Hole wären schon eine recht gute Lösung. — Dass aber noch direkt am Telefonanbieter auch noch ein Unternehmen steckt und cookieless track’ed, hat mich dann doch sehr überrascht. Um was gehts? Es geht um die...

The start of this article made me laugh: The first time my team shipped an agent into a real SaaS workflow, the product demo looked perfect. The production bill did not. FinOps for agents: Loop limits, tool-call caps and the new unit economics of agentic SaaS I wasn’t laughing out of malicious joy, but as […]

DevOps is the backbone of modern software delivery. The latest insights from Developer Tech on Perforce’s AI-driven tools highlight why — again. 70 percent of the organisations report their DevOps maturity materially affects their success with AI. Rather than replacing established delivery practices, proper...

Smart home devices are sold with the promise of convenience: plug-and-play setup, remote control, automatic updates, seamless integration. But the recent DJI robot vacuum breach raises questions we should all be asking. What happened? Sammy Azdoufal, a software engineer, didn’t even need to “hack” anything. By...

A recent Mastodon post from @solomonneas highlights an annoying issue: an AI agent pushed to the main branch 12x, despite clear instructions not to. […] My agent pushed to main 12 times despite explicit instructions. Fix: git pre-push hooks on 39 repos. Agent can’t push code to main because git rejects it. No...

In the past couple of years, lot’s of companies are providing platforms to their employees. Be it for Data Analytics, Compute, Self-Service-something. – Which is all great. I’ve even been involved in one myself. The problem just is: What exactly is a “platform”? At some point, I was frustrated enough to say...

I just came across “I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here’s What I Actually Handed Over.” and thought it might be worth sharing It’s a story of someone just wanting the “verified checkmark” on LinkedIn. Quite legit, right? Just that – afterwards – he started to check which companies his biometric data are now shared...

Nolto.social started as a small experiment as a free alternative to LinkedIn. The author wanted to explore ActivityPub and see what could be built. There was no funding, no team, no roadmap. Just an idea and some time. Within a few weeks, almost a thousand people signed up. Companies created pages. Articles were...
