Happy days

Post Easter shopping is best shopping

The older I get and the more programming languages I get to try, the more I like #golang

After reading a discussion yesterday from @[email protected] about #Laravel and how they now promote themselves as an agentic framework, I've started looking up other frameworks. None of them promote them like that. Even #bun that's bought by Antropic, doesn't promote themselves like that.

Got a new sportswatch (only for running). Just did my first run yesterday. Was a nightmare. Super slow and I was amazed how long that 5KM run took. The watch was still in miles.

Who are these people!?!

A few days ago I wrote about system think in Enterprise architecture. An important tool in strategy and architecture itself. frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2026-02... #systemsthinking #strategy #enterprisearchitecture

"Can you make the architecture diagram a bit more complex? The project is complex and it would be nice if the diagrams reflected that."

Yesterday I published a new article about Data Mesh and CDN's. frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2026-02... #enterprisearchitecture #DDD #datamesh

Architectural debt spans three layers: technical (integration patterns, vendor lock-in), business (ownership,), and strategy (misaligned capability maps). The strategy layer is the most dangerous - bad assumptions there can derail 3-5 year plans. frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-10...

Today is new joiners day at the office. These days rank among the best for sneaking in and scooping up some reception food

One of the most important lessons I've learned in Enterprise Architecture, "the question behind the question" #EnterpriseArchitecture frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-07...

One of the first things you want to know when you start your cost reduction is actually knowing what your things cost. #enterprise-architecture #it-management #CTO frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-06...

Over the years, I’ve settled into a structure that helps me define projects that not only link to the strategy above but also looks at my own team’s environment, I thought I’d share it. #enterprisearchitecture #itmgmt #strategy frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-06...

Teach a robot to fish and soon you won't remember how to.

sisyphus at daily standup: i had to roll back some changes

I'm happy there is something new happening in UI land, we've been on the flat design for so long now and it always felt very lazy to me. I do think that the new way Android is going is a lot more useable than the Apple route. Guess the future will tell.

@johncutle.fish hey John, at @dddeu.bsky.social we briefly talked about business capabilities. Wish we could have talked more about them. Some time ago, I wrote down my thoughts about them here: frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2024-07...

Last week, over drinks, a friend and I debated the role of software in an organization. #enterpriseArchitecture #BizArch #software #solutionarchitecture #itmanagement frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-05...

Enterprise Architects often talk about PPT, I always talk about PPTI. Wrote a post to explain why I think Information is just as important #enterprisearchitect #ppt #archimate #bizarch frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-05...

Thanks, Chatgpt, but I'll take my music theory lessons elsewhere.

Japan is pretty cool

The vagueness of the terminology is really an issue in the field of architecture. Even among architects themselves, so here is my take. #enterprisearchitecture #bizarch #solutionarchitecture #itmanagement frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-04...

The real title was going to be “Business strategy is like a lizard: It leaves behind its tail while it grows a new one,” but that was just too long. #strategy #enterpriseArchitecture #togaf frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-04...

I discovered a new podcast called The Enterprise Architecture Experience. In it, Svyatoslav Kotusev was interviewed, they discussed the uses of Archimate. The comments really resonated with me, so I wrote a post about them. frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-3-... #EnterpriseArchitecture #archimate

This weekend, I wrote about running an enterprise architecture office like a skunkworks project. frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-03... #EnterpriseArchitecture #SkunkWorks #Innovation #TechLeadership #AgileArchitecture

This weekend I talked about how to scope out your enterprise architecture frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-02... #EnterpriseArchitecture #EA #DigitalTransformation #TechnologyStrategy

I’ve just completed my weekend project, and it's not even 5 pm yet! www.groundcntrl.info Ground Cntrl is a tracker for live data from the ISS. #space #internationalspacestation #nasa

I’ve bought what I swore never to buy, a printer

I've been thinking a lot about how you can organise data and information in an organization. Decided to write it down and share it with you: frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-02... #architecture #enteprisearchitecture #data

I MADE A GLOBAL CAPS LOCK KEY FINALLY we can all agree on when it's polite to TYPE IN CAPS! whenever anyone running the client presses caps lock it presses it for everyone download the client and see the current caps lock status at globalcapslock.com

I’ve recently became very into “walking tour video’s” and none of my friend know what I’m talking about. So let me also share it with you: youtu.be/Ul9SoyjZDG0?...

One of the nice benefits of working at Deloitte is that you get the chance of taking part of the internal trainings they do that might be out of your domain. Currently I'm doing a Tax and financial modeling training. It's genuinely extremely interesting

I really don’t like running, but sometimes you do stumble upon cool shots. #photography #shotoniphone

Wrote a new post over the weekend about complexity. Hope it's not just me rambling #enterprisearchitecture #data #architecture frederickvanbrabant.com/blog/2025-01...

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control. Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

This morgning while brushing my teeth: hey @deno.land kinda sounds like shorthand for dinosaur, wonder if they … oh

Early days at the office

Today on HackerNews there is another index page of blogrolls. I've seen more and more of them. Either blogs are making a return or I'm starting to fall into a bubble.

Here’s to another lousy millennium

Great read, and also how I plan on using bluesky chrisholdgraf.com/blog/2024/bl...

The wine at my family in law Christmas dinner is older than me. Was still good
