Some software developers are much more productive then others. I think there are four different kinds of developers (see below). It is critical to know who in your team falls in which category. More information here: thinkingsideways.net/people/develop… #softwaredeveloper #Productivity

I've written a new blog post! This time, I discuss what we can do in software development to prepare for success on an organizational level: thinkingsideways.net/people/organiz…

@Hoppe1943 @BasedTorba Als ob die Beamten Englisch könnten.

@BasedTorba Only German authorities manage to combine this level of stupidity and arrogance: sending a reminder and an enforcement notice to the USA, in German.

Just got a letter from the German government with a 31,000 Euro fine for refusing to censor Gab on their behalf. (Not paying it.)

I wish this article had existed when I started my software career. It would've saved my a lot of grief over the years. It's a bit sad that useful contributions that aren't in the top priorities get ignored but it's the way it is. seangoedecke.com/party-tricks/

I've worked in a million lines of code codebase with thousands of engineers for ten years and I completely agree with Sean's advice here: seangoedecke.com/large-establis…

I write a review to one of my biggest pleasant surprises in game of the last years "Intravenous" by @spnidelman. You can check out the review on my substack: corerunner.substack.com/p/intravenous-…

@Geisterschleier has kindly contributed another blog post. This time, he explains why apathy is such a problem in the software industry and what to do about it. Please take a look: thinkingsideways.net/people/apathy.…

I’ve looked at a lot of software developer job postings recently, and one thing has become very clear to me: modern developers are supposed to be jacks-of-all-trades. I think this is a mistake and hence explore the topic in detail in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/people/special…

I just finished the next post on my #substack. This time, I review Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound by @TheGameKitchen . Please take a look: corerunner.substack.com/p/ninja-gaiden…

A hairstylist in my neighborhood just got arrested for selling drugs. I’ve been a customer for years. I had no idea she was a hairstylist.

I've started a #substack. In my first post, I review one of my favourite games of the last decade: @GhostrunnerGame. Please take a look: corerunner.substack.com/p/ghostrunner-…

I've had software quality on my mind lately. More precisely, I 've thought about what exactly the term means, how we can improve it, and about any potential tradeoffs. You can read the details in my new blogpost: thinkingsideways.net/testing/softwa…

@thinkBTO Ein toller Podcast. Für den zweiten Teil wünsche ich mir, dass @ProfessorWerner erwähnt wird. Als Vater des quantative easings hat er einen massiven Einfluss auf die gegenwärtige Notenbankpolitik. Sein Buch "Neue Wirtschaftspolitik" kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.

#MEGA: Keynes, Schumpeter, Sinn - und sogar Marx: diesmal diskutieren wir über die wichtigsten Vordenker der Wirtschaftsgeschichte. Außerdem: warum „kreative Zerstörung“ wichtig für Innovationen in der Wirtschaft ist. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/mak…

This is a great article on how to achieve actual security rather than just security theater. Money quote "the best security is security without frustration". tailscale.com/blog/frequent-…

I just finished reading "it doesn't have to be crazy at work" by @dhh and @jasonfried. It's a wonderful book that I highly recommend. The idea of building a calm company is so brilliant that I wonder why this isn't just the default.

It's quite amusing that the term "clean code" can now mean "code I like" as well as "overengineered code I hate" depending on who uses it.

@justinamash Read @DrRichardWerner if you want to understand how the economy actually works.

Read Bastiat. Read Mises. Read Hazlitt. Read Hayek.

@BecomingCritter True Detective (season 1) Animal Kingdom (seasons 1-4) Billions (seasion 1-2) All three have a straight-forward, enjoyable plot combined with a deeper layer regarding human relationships and behavior.

Are there any 130 IQ shows? 120 even?

@gf_256 "Wöbu" als Abkürzung für "Wörterbuch" amüsiert mich sehr.

yeah I code Rust ... in German

Even though most people will probably agree that software documentation is important, the topic of how to do it best is quite underdiscussed. Hence, I decided to do something about it and discuss the topic in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/processes/docu…

@thinkBTO Sehr spannender Podcast. Ich halte es generell für sinnvoll, produktive (!) Staatsausgaben über Bankkredite anstatt über Anleihen oder Steuern zu finanzieren. Dadurch findet kein Crowding Out statt. Es gibt dazu ein sehr gutes Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#Trump macht endgültig klar: #Deutschland und #EU müssen asap Milliarden in #verteidigung stecken. #Frankreich wittert Chance, Deutschland in eine #Transferunion zu zwingen. Doch es gibt Alternative. Überall wo es #podcast gibt und hier: think-beyondtheobvious.com/mehr-geld-fuer…
