What usually happens in my experience is, that a home-grown Data Access Layer usually turns into a bad "ORM light", because materializing results is repetitive and tiring work. You…

I had, yes. But those had also been rewritten with Gemini from ground up, because it caught way more edge cases, than I did. Which is fascinating and frightening at the same time. …

This resonates with my experience. I have several Open Source projects and wanted to refactor them for a decade. A week ago I sat down with Google Gemini and completely refactored …

The first and most important lesson, that I try to each every young developer starting in the industry: Go home after clocking in your hours negotiated in your contract. Drop your …

As for the tree analogy and open source. Yes, you cannot build years of community and trust in a weekend. But sometimes it's totally sufficient to plant a seed, give it some small …

To me, it’s super exciting to play ping pong with ideas up until I arrive at an architecture and interfaces, that I am fine with. My whole life I have been reading other people’s c…

What I miss the most about the XML ecosystem is the tooling. And I think, this is what most people are sentimental about. There was a time it was so easy to generate contracts usin…

I often want to quickly draw a state machine diagram to visualize my application state transitions. Full-blown solutions like draw.io make it hard to get all arrows and labels alig…
