Interested in building excellent software engineering organizations. Also in event-driven architecture, highly available and scalable systems, domain-driven design, and the intersection of architecture and organization.

Next up: Ronna Steinberg. Just 2 minutes in, my favorite quote of the conference, for sure: „It‘s not schön if it‘s not fun.“ She made it rhyme somehow.

My KanDDDinsky talk this year: less fundamental than my usual talks. More: what works well, and what doesn’t. Patterns, lessons, and maybe a few true stories.
The line-up is amazing, and I’m humbled to be part of it. Hope to see you there!

Coding with AI feels like teaching. You still need to learn before you can teach. Deep understanding of the domain and software quality still matters. But not everyone who enjoys coding will enjoy instructing a machine. It’s a different kind of creativity.

Always wanted this to be interactive so I could solve the cube in 2D. Everyone’s using AI code assistants now, so I had Claude build a first version. It’s rough - no tests yet - but already fun to play with (for me, anyway): www.huehnken.de/games/circle...

I said I expected to be inspired, and Fast Flow Conf did not disappoint. Great talks all around, kudos to the speakers.
And the closing keynote hitting a point for me as well, moving beyond "enabling team" for architecture. Great day. Also fantastic venue and organization!

In "Foundations of Scalable Systems", Ian Gorton writes, among other things, about relational databases and how it's not uncommon to apply denormalization. Or well, he meant to, but on page 196 they printed something else.. which I'm sorry to hear 😀

So my former colleague Jan Stępień is a brillant engineer / speaker / teacher, but the thing he'll be internet famous for is how websites can't handle his name 🤷♂️. wtf-8.xn--stpie-k0a81a.com is really funny, though.

Still hoping that some other site will become what Twitter used to be. Maybe this one?
