I‘ve seen @nin.com roughly about 30 times live so far. Let me tell you: today was close to absolutely perfect. Impeccable Setlist, BREATHTAKING production, amazing crowd and pretty decent sound. I‘m blown away AF.

On my way at high speed to the @nin.com show in Köln. Can’t wait for tonight. The Ireland / UK Setlists were amazing.

I've added a #jMolecules-based persistence approach to @bitboss.bsky.social' repository, showcasing various aggregate persistence approaches to outline how streamlined and free of persistence artifacts a domain model can be and still persisted via #JPA out of the box. ☕️⚗️ github.com/mploed/aggre...

Werde in der nächsten Zeit zwei Trainings in Karlsruhe & Köln für @socreatory.bsky.social geben für die noch wenige Plätze frei sind, die aber definitiv durchgeführt werden. 01. - 03.07. DDD in der Praxis in KARLSRUHE (iSAQB Advanced) 26. - 29.08. Software Architektur Foundation in KÖLN Links 👇

Yesterday I had a lovely hands-on workshop at @dddeu.bsky.social in Antwerp in which we collaboratively explored various persistence strategies for DDD Aggregates. I have summarized our learnings in a blog post: www.michael-ploed.com/blog/persist...

SAVE THE DATE: Am 20. November laden wir Dich zur 6. Auflage des INNOQ Technology Day ein – unserer Online-Konferenz zu Softwarearchitektur, -entwicklung, IT-Strategie und digitalen Produkten. Die Anmeldung ist kostenfrei. Wir geben Dir Bescheid, sobald es losgeht 👉 www.innoq.com/de/news/2025...

this was a career highlight for me — getting to work with @cyriux.bsky.social and @malk-zameth.bsky.social and @bitboss.bsky.social and others! At times fun, serious, joyous, reflective, playful, and so *generous*

Technical platforms are essential - but not enough. We also need platforms built around business capabilities. I wrote about business domain-centric platforms, why they matter, and how to build them without falling into SOA traps. 📝 Read here: www.michael-ploed.com/blog/technic...

I wrote a new blog post about: "Finding the Turning Points - Pivotal Events in Big Picture EventStorming" www.michael-ploed.com/blog/finding...

Arrived perfectly in time in Berlin for @amaconf.bsky.social Looking forward to tomorrow

I’m starting a new professional chapter as a freelance consultant. At the same time, this is not a goodbye: I will remain an @innoq.bsky.social Fellow & keep delivering trainings for @socreatory.bsky.social. In addition to that I am looking forward to a closer collaboration with @suksr.bsky.social

Currently sitting on the elevated porch of my lodge in Namibia. Sipping some coffee, watching / photographing the Milky Way while listening to some lions close by who communicate with each other.

Spotted this book in the Lufthansa Lounge Frankfurt and thought „why not“

Liebe CDU, man kann Proteste gegen das AfD-Gekuschel als "linke Hysterie" abtun. Wenn aber eine Alt-Kanzlerin scharf kritisiert, sich die Kirchen entsetzt äußern, ein Shoa-Überlebender das Bundesverdienstkreuz zurück gibt und Michel Friedman die CDU-Mitgliedschaft, wäre der Moment, innezuhalten. ⚓❤

That „Nirvana“ Show at FireAid was the most possible Nirvana thing. No huge hits, some technical issues, no dudes trying to out-Kurt Kurt. That thing had a lot of dignity. Huge shout outs to St. Vincent, Kim „the queen of everything“ Gordon, Joan Jett and Violet Grohl for being amazing. #FireAidLA

Friedrich Merz hat heute eines sehr verantwortlich klar gemacht: Wer die CDU wählt, wählt AfD.

Got Nine Inch Nails tickets for the Cologne show. Let’s see how this one goes after I‘ve been pretty unhappy with the setlists of the the last 2-3 NIN shows. But I could not sit this out. Too big of a fan 😂

In diesem Kontext kann man nur den Song "Schweineherbst" von Slime zitieren, der sowas von vor seiner Zeit war: "Deutschland - Ein Land kotzt sich aus Einen alten, braunen Brei Mir wird schlecht von dieser Heuchelei!"

Finally deleted my inactive account over at burning trash dump. Next: getting rid of the Tesla by the end of march.

Nothing tops collaboration with folks who inspire you. Just had a great call with a dear friend of mine regarding some methodology ideas and we've just been bouncing ideas and inspirations back and forth like crazy. There was no "yes, but ..." instead it was just natural "yes, and..."s.

Last year some @innoq.bsky.social colleagues of mine helped our friend Gregor Hohpe with the German translation of his book Cloud Strategy. The translation is out now and can be ordered! It even contains a forword by me ;-)

Me losing interest in Twitter a long time ago lead me to lose interest in social networks in general. I post on LinkedIn but don’t like it. I enjoy my dearly cultivated vegan hardcore punk bubble on Insta where we share pics of vinyl records, flyers and vegan food recipes …

Welcome to Bluesky! A few tips: • Blocking works. Use it! • There's no algorithm. Repost things you want seen. • Turn on the alt-text reminder in settings. • Set the NSFW filters to your comfort. • Check your sources before you post! • Try and leave bad habits from other social media behind.

Freiheit! Eigenverantwortung! Dies das.

Last full workday today before a 2 week vacation. My first real vacation that spans more than 2 days since March. Call me exhausted. This is a break I really need right now.

Just received the copies of my German Team Topologies translation from O‘Reilly. It feels awesome to finally hold this book in my hands. O‘Reilly Germany did an amazing job in maintaining the visual design of the original book. This one looks awesome.

Dear speakers: if you go over your allocated time on a tight conference schedule it can impose additional stress to the following speaker. They may not be a seasoned conference speaking cat like me and you run the risk of severely increasing their anxiety. Don‘t do that.

At Palladium in Cologne where I‘ll speak at Digitale Leute Summit about „Learnings and Failures during the adoption of Domain Driven Design“ today. Heading to Sweden for Øredev in the afternoon.

Spent a couple of hours in the kitchen in order to veganize a classic German dish: Rouladen with a homemade jus.

Nürnberg yesterday evening… it’s been beautiful.

Current state of pasta production 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Pasta production time. Ravioli filled with beetroot and another batch filled with pumpkin are up next.

Seit dem Terrorangriff der Hamas auf Israel hat es bundesweit etwa 2000 antisemitische Straftaten gegeben. Das hat das BKA dem ARD-Magazin "Report Mainz" mitgeteilt. 2000. In weniger als einem Monat. Einfach mal sacken lassen. 1933 ist noch nicht mal hundert Jahre her.

The first camera with built-in C2PA shipped, Leica M11-P. I think C2PA is super interesting, but hard to explain to non-geeks, so I wrote an overly-long blog that explains why I think it’s technically sound and socially useful: www.tbray.org/ongoing/When...
