I‘ve seen @nin.com roughly about 30
times live so far. Let me tell you: today was close to absolutely perfect. Impeccable Setlist, BREATHTAKING production, amazing crowd and pretty decent sound. I‘m blown away AF.

On my way at high speed to the @nin.com show in Köln. Can’t wait for tonight. The Ireland / UK Setlists were amazing.

I've added a #jMolecules-based persistence approach to @bitboss.bsky.social' repository, showcasing various aggregate persistence approaches to outline how streamlined and free of persistence artifacts a domain model can be and still persisted via #JPA out of the box. ☕️⚗️

this was a career highlight for me — getting to work with @cyriux.bsky.social and @malk-zameth.bsky.social and @bitboss.bsky.social and others! At times fun, serious, joyous, reflective, playful, and so *generous*
I will be attending @ruthmalan.bsky.social’s workshop tomorrow at #dddeu, still time to join me there!

Technical platforms are essential - but not enough.

We also need platforms built around business capabilities.

I wrote about business domain-centric platforms, why they matter, and how to build them without falling into SOA traps.

I’m starting a new professional chapter as a freelance consultant.

At the same time, this is not a goodbye: I will remain an @innoq.bsky.social Fellow & keep delivering trainings for @socreatory.bsky.social.

In addition to that I am looking forward to a closer collaboration with @suksr.bsky.social

Currently sitting on the elevated porch of my lodge in Namibia. Sipping some coffee, watching / photographing the Milky Way while listening to some lions close by who communicate with each other.

Liebe CDU, man kann Proteste gegen das AfD-Gekuschel als "linke Hysterie" abtun.

Wenn aber eine Alt-Kanzlerin scharf kritisiert, sich die Kirchen entsetzt äußern, ein Shoa-Überlebender das Bundesverdienstkreuz zurück gibt und Michel Friedman die CDU-Mitgliedschaft, wäre der Moment, innezuhalten. ⚓❤

That „Nirvana“ Show at FireAid was the most possible Nirvana thing. No huge hits, some technical issues, no dudes trying to out-Kurt Kurt. That thing had a lot of dignity. Huge shout outs to St. Vincent, Kim „the queen of everything“ Gordon, Joan Jett and Violet Grohl for being amazing. #FireAidLA
