Is the GenAI Revolution over already?
Just recently I saw the article (that probably most of us already noticed with a gentle smile), that AI coding tools can slow down seasoned developers by 19% (on InfoWorld). And just now I came to another article on Futurism, that “AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies”. Heise.de picked up the article as…

Farewell to my 11.5-Year-Old RaspberryPi Weather Station
Eleven and a half years ago, I built my first RaspberryPi weather station using sensors from Tinkerforge. Today, I shut it down for good. Not because it failed — but because its job is done. It’s been replaced by a Netatmo setup, and unfortunately, I don’t need it anymore. But admitting that a project’s lifespan…

The Difference Between DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering
DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering — those three terms that often and quickly get mixed up. But they describe different roles. And I think it’s good to know the difference — at least if you’re somehwere working in modern software development.

What Mountaineering and Teams have in Common
In business, it’s trust. Aki Kärkkäinen’s piece “From Rope Teams to Remote Teams” asks the real question: would you trust your team enough to share a rope? I really liked this paragraph: “I’m reminded of the pandemic when social distancing was introduced—an unfortunate term, because what was meant was actually physical distancing. Most companies obsess over physical proximity…

Have We Left Web Radio Behind?
Since my decision to #unplugTrump, I have consciously moved away from Spotify. Instead, I chose to use Navidrome as my personal music server combined with Symfonium as the client. This setup allowed me to rediscover my own MP3 collection — a treasure of gems I hadn’t listened to in years! And I can tell: I really enjoyed…

It’s all about solving problems!
I am running this blog since 2009. The majority of the time it is dormant, and I mainly use it to document a solution that was hard to figure out and when I wished I had found it earlier. And in case that I have to solve the issue again, I know that I wrote…
