I didn't have the Pontifex quoting Lord of the Rings on my 2026 bingo card

now that Google pivots aways from being a search engine (to becoming a proprietary interpreter of the web) there will be new opportunities for real _search_ - you know, like in the old days, where you find the actual so-called “web page”

@felicea.bsky.social Vielleicht für Dich oder jemanden aus Deinem Netzwerk interessant: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zer... Die Kampagne ging gerade live.

This "Unethical Guide to Surviving AI Layoffs" by Mo Bitar perfectly captures the current moment www.tiktok.com/@atmoio/vide...

Immernoch nicht eingegrooved, wie ich Saptodon und Bluesky inhaltlich voneinander trenne. Tja.

I feel like the last generation—DevOps into Continuous Delivery—was defined by Conway's Law, and this generation—AI tokenmaxxing and shoehorning—is defined by Goodhart's Law.

Anyway I made a thing together with @lenareinhard.com and Pepijn Schoen. Here's a void for you to scream into, please enjoy it. screamin.to/thevoid/

Und, wie bereitet Ihr Euch oder Euer Unternehmen auf den Beraterwinter vor?

Pretty happy with the new stuff shipped to Chatto this week, especially the loading and UI responsiveness optimizations. Chatto was already pretty snappy to begin with, but now it's just sublime. Really enjoying being able to polish this thing now. Come join us in the official community!

Probably one of the core issues: Management lags behind and probably does not understand the extend of which a tool ("AI") is a sign of a profound transformation that touches EVERYTHING. "Shrugging code off to production" seems like the result of management tools that were meant for another age.

Letzten Donnerstag(23. April) hat die SAP eine neue API-Policy veröffentlicht, die man als Notbremse verstehen kann: Schranken hoch, keine "fremden" Agenten dran, usw usf. - und heute ist die Policy nicht mehr unter dem damaligen Link abrufbar. Tja.

Man muss die Fragen halt nur richtig stellen.

If you work with software and are even 1% anxious about your career prospects in the age of AI, I strongly urge you to read this. Also, if you don't work with software. Also, if you aren't anxious.

Das berüchtigte ökosozialistische Pamphlet "Manager Magazin" hat sich mit der Energiepolitik von Katherina #Reiche auseinandergesetzt. Das Urteil, gefällt auf Basis von Gesprächen mit Vertretern der deutschen Wirtschaft, ist vernichtend.

Experiment: just symlink CLAUDE dot md and AGENTS dot md to README dot md. Include a small section in README that links to a directory of extra instructions for agents.

"Die Höhle der Löwen" ist nur "Bares für Rares" für Leute, die nach 1975 geboren wurden, tut mich nicht @-en

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Memory is currently a boring flat list of facts, I want to replace it with an agentic wiki of Markdown files with automatic vectorization and indexing for semantic and bm25 search.

Heh. Built my own Claw today (name is Klaus). Has some useful built-in tools for web search/fetch and more. Can run random commands in a Docker container that runs within a Lima VM, so can't break free into the host system. It's already posted a Beans PR and made flyer and website for a festival.

Hat eigentlich die Bundesregierung, vielleicht sogar die zuständige Bundeswirtschaftsministerin, eine Position zur Blockade der Straße von Hormus durch US-Streitkräfte?

Very much looking forward to the time where we will just point our favorite harness (third party or self-build) at a local model and the economics of agentic engineering shift towards time instead of dollars. Pi with local gemma4 on my stupid MacBook Air is already quite workable!

I'm reading Anthropic's recent antics as them knowing that the individual coding agent plan is dead as most of us will be using local models for day-to-day engineering in 12-24 months, and shifting their revenue towards big enterprisey Glasswing-style shenanigans.

Weirdly accurate

Ich bin jahrelang mit einer Art humanistischen Kränkung durch die Gegend gelaufen, und sie macht gerade einer humanistischen Trauer Platz. Death by a thousand cuts.

Moving slowly, but steadily, towards a first release of Chatto, the self-hostable chat and video/voice app for your friends, community, or company. The list of legal and technical hurdles is shrinking every day. If you want to give it a whirl today, join us in the official Chatto Community space!

Jetzt erzählen uns schon irgendwelche MLP-Marketingheinis was über KI und wie toll alles wird. (Nein, "alles" wird nicht toll, zumal sich weder Communities noch Gesellschaft ehrlich unterhalten wollen über die möglichen Auswirkungen, positive wie negative, erwünschte wie unerwünschte.)

Angesichts der Weltlage finde ich ganz interessant, dass ich mein M365-Abo nicht fortsetzen kann: Bei der Verlängerung gibt's die Fehlermeldung "RiskRejected", yo.

Looking at the angry men commenting on Milla Jovovich's MemPalace Instagram post, I'm making a note that in my next life I'm going to be a therapist

AI comes along and makes certain kinds of knowledge work feel more like facilitation, collaboration, curation, communication, etc. Skills that have historically been coded feminine and therefore undervalued.

It’s a bit concerning that I want to repost these tweets every time they come up in my timeline…

The whole ”AGI is just around the corner” is a meaningless and silly distraction.

That not withstanding, the inevitable Great Implosion will happen to companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI because open source models that can be run locally - with minimal capex and zero risk of surveillance -are quickly and irreversibly becoming good enough.

Here is my prediction: The Magnificent Seven - Alphabey, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla - will continue to push AI down our throats despite diminishing returns to its users, simply because they’ve invested so much they’ve gone past a point of no return.

🎉 Celebrating 3 million Github stars for Beans, the CLI-based, flat-file issue tracker for humans and robots! Woops, I meant 600. 600 stars.

Ist es nicht erstaunlich, wie wenig trotz allem - explodierende Preise, Angriffe auf Öl- & Gasfelder, etc. - über Erneuerbare gesprochen wird?

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

I love this framing from Matteo Collina (excerpt from his newsletter), about who owns and is responsible for AI generated code. Print and stick on your wall.

Mal durch die Übersetzungsmaschine der Wahl laufen lassen: "Dänemark bereitete sich auf einen möglichen Angriff der USA vor: Es flog Blutkonserven nach Grönland und traf Vorbereitungen, um Landebahnen in die Luft zu sprengen" - mit Unterstützung europäischer Verbündeter wie Deutschland

I've written about Beans UI, the big new thing coming to Beans, including instructions on how to give it a try today if you're feeling naughty. Feedback welcome!

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Agentic Conf 2026 this Sunday! My talk is titled "Woop Coding!" and it's about how little is changing in a world where everything is changing. Come say hi.

Das ist die misogyne Scheiße für die Palantir steht und alle, die diese Leute und ihr Unternehmen hofieren & ihr Produkt kaufen, sind Teil davon. Unsere Wahlentscheidungen müssen mittlerweile als akute Selbstverteidigung gehandhabt werden.

Zusammen mit @lukaswagner.bsky.social argumentiere ich hier, dass die geschlossene Strasse von Hormus nicht nur eine dramatische Energiekrise, sondern auch eine Rohstoffkrise ist: Spezialmaterialien wie Aluminium oder Helium sind ebenso betroffen wie die Dünger-relevanten Schwefel oder Ammoniak.

fml I made a jira

Another (small) milestone reached. This is running on an early version of Chatto Cloud, opening later this year. More news soon. Stay tuned, and do drop by and say hi :)

Last call! Submit your session to Agentic Conf Hamburg - the call for speakers closes tomorrow. Already blown away by the submissions so far. March 22nd is shaping up to be a fantastic day - can't wait to meet you all 🚀 sessionize.com/agentic-conf...
