I'm blogging about IT and Technology in general. Also I publish all kinds of "how to-solutions" that took me a while to figure out - and I hope that it might help other's as well

I just found this blog post from Rob Bowley in my RSS feed and one paragraph just so resonated with what I read and hear so much: For CEOs and founders hoping to benefit, the answer isn’t as simple as handing out Claude licences […]....
I wrote a couple of times that I reduced my activity on #LinkedIn and put more effort into the blog here – and I did! And I’m quite happy about that. In parallel I had an anonymous account for IT related topics, but honestly, I missed...
In the context of the #DigitalIndependenceDay (https://di.day), I noticed discussions on whether Tool A or Service B is “sovereign enough.” But – the more I thought about it, the clearer it became: Digital sovereignty isn’t binary. What...
Finding the right AI tool can be overwhelming. With new solutions emerging constantly, it’s easy to get lost. KI-Katalog.de offers an alternative: an independent, German-focused directory that compares over 1,000 AI tools. Including...
Two weeks ago, I discovered that Mistral.ai also provides a coding assitant, similar to GitHub Copilot (GHC), called Mistral Vibe (GitHub page). In those two weeks I’ve been using Mistral Vibe in parallel to GHC. Just because I wanted to...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are often marketed as the ultimate productivity boost for developers: “Write code faster! Debug with AI! No more manual work!” After a recent experience, I can confirm that LLMs are incredibly useful for...
I don’t code much in my day job anymore, but I still love building things. So last weekend, I finaly took the time to test GitHub Copilot’s Agents feature — specifically, a Commit Agent. I’ve seen agents.md and knew the theory, but I...
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...
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...
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 —...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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?...
