In the end of 80ies and early 90ies, the topics of fourth generation programming languages and genetic algorithms were very popular in mass media. We had read in the magazines that software developers would become obsolete, because users could create their programs themselves using 4GL, or else AI systems would soon be created that would …

Puyuma
People emerged from Afrika and have slowly, generation after generation, populated first Near East, then Europe, Black sea area, and continued their movement to the East. Something has forced them first to cross endless steppe of the central asia, and then to populate modern India and China. Maybe they wanted to reach the place where …
Shanghai
When I was going to Shanghai, I was expecting the developing country situation like I have already ranted. And I have really found it that way. So when I’m asked how I liked Shanghai, I can only answer: if after landing to the modern and clean western Pudong airport I was immediately directed to a personal …
Auto: +6 Monaten
Die Namen Fahrschule und Fahrprüfung sind insofern irreführend, dass sie vermuten lassen, dass man nach dem Bestehen der Fahrprüfung ein fahrtauglicher Autofahrer sein wird. Tatsächlich fängt mit der ersten Fahrt das Lernen vom Autofahren erst an. In der Fahrschule wird nur gerade so viel Kenntnis vermittelt, dass man bei diesem eigenständigen Lernen sich selbst oder …
Beginning software architecture (for Yun)
Every programmer starts her career with something small. Implement a small function. Then implement a couple of functions talking to each other. Then implement a module, with dozens of functions, and maybe error handling and an API. But sooner or later, we all want to move on and to step up to the higher abstraction …

Auto fahren: Monat eins
Die Fahrschule bereitet dich auf das Auto fahren ungefähr genauso gut vor, wie die Uni auf die reale Arbeitsbedingungen vorbereitet. Also, unzureichend. Jede Fahrt mit dem eigenen Auto kostet mir mehr Nerven und Kräfte als die Fahrprüfung. Zum einen, es fehlt eine zweite, erfahrenere Person im Auto. Niemand kann bestätigen, dass ich richtig fahre, oder …
Being a happy bricklayer
“What are you doing?” “I’m laying bricks,” said the first bricklayer. “Feeding my family,” said the second bricklayer. “I’m building a cathedral,” said the third bricklayer. When I’ve learned this story in the primary school, I was shocked to see how shitty the life of the first two bricklayers were. The first one didn’t even …
Tolles UX
HUK24.de hat eine faszinierende (und teilweise mutige) UX. Probiert mal selber aus! Was mir gefallen hat: 1) Sie verkaufen die KFZ-Versicherung in exakt gleicher Art und Weise, wie ich es kaufen will. Es gibt keine Landing Pages mit glücklichen Menschen, die mir die Vorteile erklären. Es gibt keine Testimonials. Es gibt keine übergroße CTAs ”Jetzt kaufen”. Stattdessen …
Enterprise Innovation
Well, my Enterprise Seasons model was too simple. Actually, after creating their first successful “flywheel” product, some corporations proceed with creating second, third and further successful products, always remaining an innovative enterprise, at least at some of its parts. There are a lot of advantages in this: – Risk diversification. If one product fails for …
