From today, I hope life starts moving forward again. With more clarity, more courage, and a little more light.

Still shocked Germany lost to Paraguay. Around here, everyone just lost all motivation at once. Good thing Belgium is still there, and above all, any Latin American country. LATAM first, always.

All my time in Germany and I have never felt days this hot. Munich is basically level with Dubai and even warmer than Athens for a few hours, which feels crazy. Lovely by the Isar. Absolute horror if you have to work with no AC.

Hey. Long time. Things are shifting, and wanted to check in. It's all about AI lately, vibe coding. For me at least. Building things I never could before because the technical side always killed it. That wall is just not there anymore. If you've got something sitting in your head that you never started because one part felt impossible, go try it now. Seriously.

In other news, Fed day. First real look at the brand new chair.

BMW cutting its outlook for next year hits differently in Bavaria. Around here, it's never just about one company. The auto industry has carried a lot of weight for a long time. Feels like that weight is getting heavier.

I’ve traveled here and there, but Belgium remains one of my favorite places. I fell in love there, at a time that shaped a lot of what came after. Even now from Germany, Belgium is still a reference point in my life. Life was something else in BXL.

Veel geluk, Rode Duivels! 👹🇧🇪

Das wird nicht viele beeindrucken, aber ein LLM über die sevdesk-API so anzubinden, dass Rechnungen automatisch hochgeladen, abgeglichen und kategorisiert werden? Wer schon mal mit dem deutschen Finanzamt zu tun hatte, weiß, wie viel Lebensqualität das zurückgibt.

So for anyone visiting Munich, and I suspect Germany nationwide too, the weather is simply unbeatable right now. Blue sky, 29°C, a full week ahead. For German standards that’s almost unreal. Even my grilling calendar can’t keep up.

One more year older. A few bad calls, some good discoveries, and a front row seat to the wildest tech moment in history. Could be worse.

The sun is doing more than expected this weekend. Blue sky over Munich, no clouds, just light everywhere. Feels like the city loosens a bit when this happens. I’m going to stay outside a little longer than planned, and maybe toast to a better tomorrow.

So the US and Iran are making a deal? I want to believe it, honestly. But come on. We know how this goes. If you are on @Polymarket, enjoy the ride!

I've been away too long, barely looking up. Hi again. Just realized @X translates posts for everybody now, and that changes things! I've always wanted to post freely in English, Spanish, or German. Now maybe I will.

Just started Netflix’s SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN and I’m kind of obsessed with it. I’ve had this idea in the back of my mind for a while, around horror, love, and fate, and this show brought it closer somehow.

Spring is really making an effort now. April is still unpredictable, but the sun is back. In Munich, everyone seems willing to drop everything for a few minutes of light. The birds are back too. Spring is coming. A beer feels appropriate. Cheers.

ChatGPT 5.4 feels more grounded, more critical, less eager to please. I cross-reference a lot, and it actually pushes back on other LLMs outputs. Very refreshing, especially when most are either overly cautious or way too optimistic.

One year ago: Valentine off-limits, snow, hope. Today: Security Conference week again in Munich, rain this time, still navigating. Different circumstances, same complicated February.

Embarrassingly late to the party, but just found out Salesforce Summer 25 killed the huge EAC eternal sync issue. Emails sync as proper email messages + task records for reporting, automations, APIs. AWS black hole gone.
