Der technologische Fortschritt läuft immer schneller, so dass der Gap zwischen dem “Modernen” und dem “Bewehrten” immer größer wird. Eigentlich bereits jetzt so groß, dass die Verständigung zwischen den zwei Welten teilweise nicht mehr möglich ist. Ein Beispiel dazu ist die vom Dobrindt angestoßene Ethik-Kommission, die sich letzte Woche gesammelt hat, um festzulegen, was (so …

Service Design Fehler der Deutschen Telekom
Nachdem ich über Service Design Thinking erfahren habe, möchte ich das Gelernte auch anwenden, und ein passender Anlass hat sich ergeben: durch einen Fehler der Deutschen Telekom blieb ich 12 Tage ohne Internetanschluss. Es bietet sich, Probleme und Fehler im Service Design der Telekom zu analysieren. Die notwendige Vorgeschichte. Ich habe zwei Telefonanschlüsse an zwei …

An experience of unsupervised learning
In my previous post I’ve explained why I think you should learn machine learning and promised to share my experiences with its unsupervised part. The unsupervised machine learning has a mystical attraction. You don’t even bother to label the examples, just send them to the algorithm, and it will learn from them, and boom – …
Why Should You Learn Machine Learning
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 …
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 …

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 …
My Decision Theory
On my way to work I usually take a bus. Once, I’ve arrived to the bus stop a little bit late and had to wait for the next bus. I looked at the timetable and found out that the next bus was going to come in 12 minutes. I take two bus stops, which takes …
Four Weeks of Bugfixing
The hardest bug I’ve ever fixed in my life took me 4 weeks to find. The bug report itself was pretty simple, but I have to give more context first. I was one of the developers of a Smart TV software, and the bug related to the part of the software responsible for playing video …
