My Developer Skills Are Still Important
The defensive reaction from craft-proud engineers right now is a tell. AI didn't kill the craft. It killed the ritual around it — and made real technical judgment more visible than ever.
Against Soulless Apps
AI makes building cheaper. Soul, judgment, and technical leadership matter more.
Adaptive Systems, Not Spec Theater
More orchestration does not automatically produce better agents. Often it just produces slower ones.

Six Minutes to Hello World
The European provider blocked my account. The American one took six minutes.
Update Everything You Have
Anthropic built an AI model so capable at finding vulnerabilities that they decided not to release it. The security implications are immediate.
Taste
Code is free. Knowing what to build—and for whom—is the skill that matters now.
Fighting Through Every Layer
The components exist. Nobody assembled them. A field report from inside the European infrastructure gap.

I build my own window manager
Streifen is my own macOS window manager: scrolling strip layout, 9 workspaces, and a slice grid that fits how I actually work on a 21:9 monitor.
38 Pages Nobody Reads
Spec-driven AI development is theater. You're producing documentation to feel safe—then trusting blindly anyway.
Attention Is the New Headcount
Code scales. Attention does not. The real organizational shift in AI engineering is where human judgment gets spent.
Management Has Been Vibe Coding Since Forever
The uncomfortable part about AI isn't faster coding. It's that vague management intuition now turns into artifacts fast enough to expose itself.
Alleine machen.
My daughter taught me the most important thing about learning. She doesn't know it yet.
The Agent Knows Your Users Better Than You Do
Jack Dorsey just cut 4,000 jobs at Block. Not because revenue fell—because the bottleneck moved. And the developers who aren't paying attention are about to find out why.
The Translation Layer Tax
We built an entire industry to manage developers who didn't care about the product. AI just made that industry optional.
Walk Me Through Your Toolbox, and I'll Tell You Who You Are
I cleaned my oven and started thinking about what tools reveal about craftspeople. Three types I keep seeing in everyday work.
The Fred Flintstone Method

Individual Alignment ≠ Network Alignment. Warum gut trainierte Modelle in Netzwerken trotzdem gefährlich werden können — und was Moltbook uns darüber lehrt.
Denkleistung: Die knappste Ressource
Alle fragen nach dem ROI von AI. Die bessere Frage: Was ist eure knappste Ressource? Spoiler — es ist nicht Geld. Es ist qualifizierte Denkleistung. Und AI kann sie skalieren.
Moltbook: Das verteilte Gehirn
Während alle über AI-Rebellion diskutieren, entsteht etwas Faszinierendes: Ein kollektives Problemlösungs-Netzwerk. Was die Bots wirklich tun — und was sie voneinander lernen.
1,5 Millionen Bots bauen eine Gesellschaft — und Elon dominiert schon
Moltbook: AI-Agents gründen Religionen, verklagen Menschen, debuggen kollektiv. Und rate mal, wer mit 2,5x Abstand die Reichweiten-Charts anführt.
The Knitting Machine Ate Your Job
Your company doesn't sell handcrafted code. It sells pullovers. And now there's a knitting machine.
Stop Typing Reviews. Start Talking.
I reviewed a 15-page AI-generated plan in 20 minutes. The secret: dictation captures your learning trace, not just your feedback.
