Vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll, die Kernaufgabe der Wirtschaftsministerin an eine andere Person auszulagern?

[Dr John Vervaeke @DrJohnVervaeke]

Shamans were the first programmers.

They installed a “software update” that transformed how we think and solve problems.

Through ritual practices, like...

• Sleep deprivation
• Intense rhythmic activities (like dancing)
• Social isolation
• Psychedelics

...they disrupted ordinary thought patterns to break mental frames.

But why did they want to break mental frames?

Because your brain is incredible at pattern recognition...but this superpower has a dark side:

Once you see a pattern it becomes incredibly hard to "unsee" it.

You become trapped in your own mental models.

This reveals something crucial:
The art of systematically breaking patterns to see reality anew.

Being told to "be innovative" or "think differently" isn't enough…you need practical techniques to disrupt your normal patterns of thinking.

This is what shamans understood intuitively thousands of years ago.

Reziprozität ist das Fundament jeder menschlichen Beziehung, auch unter Geschäftspartnern. Sie zerbricht seit langem, und die Trümmer der Wechselseitigkeit begraben den Anstand unter sich. Dann sind Begriffe wie Fairness und Solidarität nur mehr Wortmaterial für Zyniker.

Deutschland hat eines der niedrigsten Rentenniveaus Europas (48–53 %). Nach 45 Jahren Arbeit gibt’s im Schnitt 1.500 €. Und trotzdem wird darüber diskutiert, davon noch etwas wegzunehmen. Das sind selbstverständlich Kürzungen! Diese beschämende Debatte muss endlich aufhören – wir brauchen Lösungen, keine populistischen Spielchen😡😡😡! #Rente #Gerechtigkeit

First potential customer explained a use case for @dboxed_io and they'd like to start using it asap. The use case:

They want to be able to provide hosting services (like n8n instances) to their clients, but these clients are sometimes unsure if they want it hosted on their own hardware or on my customer's hardware. With dboxed, they'd be able to instantly react to changing customer demands/requirements, without any migration efforts.

I guess being able to remove the below banner from the dashboard is something I should prioritise quite a bit 🫡

Das Problem ist halt, wenn Manager wie Merz glauben, mit mechanistischen Methoden könne man Krisen beseitigen, die durch mechanistische Methoden entstanden sind. Wie eine Wand.

There are certain people you know that you’re going to click with. After working with Robert Redford on Brubaker in 1980, we instantly became friends. Working with him again in An Unfinished Life was a dream come true.

Rest peacefully, my friend.

Ich bin nicht sicher, ob die Nische für eine Partei, die sich neben der @afd auch mit Menschenverachtung als Kernkompetenz etablieren möchte, mehr als 4,9% groß ist.

Für viele Menschen ist es nicht sehr schönes Wetter, weil es keine Partei gibt, die sich rechtzeitig dafür interessiert hätte, dass man mit dem vielen Solarstrom bei solchen Wetterlagen wunderbare (kühlende) Wärmepumpen betreiben könnte, die in Krankenhäusern, Schulen, Pflegeeinrichtungen und Privathaushalten dafür sorgen, dass Menschen nicht sinnlos sterben, nur weil es so heiß ist wie noch nie - deswegen ist es auch sehr billiger Populismus, wenn man behauptet, dass das früher "sehr schönes Wetter" hieß - die Sachen, die wir erleben, sind neu.

Die @fdp war mal eine Partei, die vorgetäuscht hat, dass sie sich für technologische Problemlösungen interessiert - wie ich lese, interessiert sie sich gerade für nichts.

Das Absondern von dummem Zeug im Internet hilft niemandem.

I was out at a gaming get together in Kyiv last night when the Zelensky-Trump meeting was being livecast. It was all anyone was talking about obviously and each new shoe dropping was like a blow that rippled through the crowd. But then someone asked me, “doesn’t trump realize who he’s dealing with? We’re Ukrainian. We’ve done two revolutions. When you push against us we band together.” Another said “if there was an election tomorrow Zelensky would get 95%,” and so on… then people started seeing the posts of solidarity from European leaders and someone shouted “France is with us!” and the crowd cheered. “Spain is with us!” And the crowd cheered again. So don’t lose hope, folks. If Ukraine can stand head high through this war and this betrayal, so can you.

Ausgerechnet @3sat & @phoenix_de an die Wand zu stellen zeigt, dass es enormes Reformpotenzial im ÖRR gibt. Und zwar nicht bei diesen beiden hervorragend arbeitenden Kanälen.

You can tell just by looking at this progression that this was a labor of love for a lot of very smart people.

Some of the critical comments about my KotlinConf talk included

* too academic
* too advanced for the audience and today.
* It was hard to embrace :(
* Too complicated

That is extreme valuable constructive feedback, since my target audience is anyone that can write simple Excel formulas. If you understand generics and wildcards in Kotlin, this should be trivial ;-)

Now if you know me a little, one of my lifelong goals is to wipe out SQL from this planet. I tried with HaskellDB (https://t.co/7kV1grI3Cp) which yielded phantom types (https://t.co/UzCaEf4YLa) but failed to move the needle on SQL.

Next I tried with LINQ and Rx, which made lambdas and type inference mainstream, but also did not make a dent in SQL's popularity.

With Universalis I am attempting the
https://t.co/0z1HG01gXz route, hidden under a tasty layer of natural language sugar. But just like the previous ventures, under the hood it is still SQL generalized from sets to monoids (the absolute best paper to learn more about monoid comprehensions for queries is https://t.co/TeqWD6Tnpn).

Hopefully, the third time is the charm!

dX: Most organisations run with stories.
Me: Yep. I'm well aware of that. If you want to see how political and conflict-driven things get then in any organisation which claims it believes in challenge, try challenging the story of a senior execs favourite project.

Wir erleben gerade, was passiert, wenn Transformation und Innovation nicht als das verstanden werden, was sie sind: soziale und kulturelle Veränderung. Wer glaubt, er könne einfach ein neues "System" in eine vorhandene Wertvorstellung einpflanzen, scheitert 1

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you have any good ideas at all, you'll probably have more than one. There will always be opportunity cost. So you may as well learn to live with it, rather than letting it paralyze you.

OH: Testers shouldn't exist—engineers should take control of their own quality.

No. The notion that everyone should know everything is nonsensical. Not only is that impossible, but we'd spend all our time learning and no time building. What we DO need is collaboration. Yes, engineers need to take control of their own quality, but they do that by working collaboratively with skilled testers. Same for UX, product, and a host of other skills.
