Trying to summarize my career advice reading: https://www.nordstroem.ch/posts/2026-07-12-collected-career-... Open to feedback and missing pieces.

At least historically, this isn't supported. I'd refer to Sarah Paine's talks for more details. More fault lines and pirates and no one to police them.

Have you considered P? It feels like a good abstraction for engineers as it's "proper" code. https://github.com/p-org/P

If people actually read the original paper by Royce 1970 they would see that it's an iterative process with short feedback-loops. The bad rep comes from (defense|gov.) contracting,…

But where?

What solved some of my problems was a Firefox plugin called MarkDownload. Instead of saving a bookmark, just download the thing (as a text file) which makes it easier to find by se…

That was my point as well: what can't you do with a uC or RPi? It feels the use cases are dwindling and eaten by ASICs and uC

The live site has a blogging feature: Title, Text, Picture. Once I'll get to it, it'll be added to the demo site. Comments is just the text aspect. So it's already working! The que…

I'm in the progress of open-sourcing (and extending) my static-site generator "CMS" (with big air-quotes). The idea is to add dynamic content, i.e. reservation tool, to what is ess…

I like Tasks.org for Android and I think it syncs with CalDAV that comes with my e-mail provider. That should just about do the trick, even with Thunderbird.

Office works like a charm if you install Chrome. That's a whole other can of worms though.

It's such a wild clash of (sci-)fi dis-/utopias. It's almost dialectic.

I'm having this idea of using an Xreal Air 2 Pro combined with an RPi Keyboard as a mobile computer. But these keyboards might be even better. Just power an RPi with a large power …

Location: Zurich, Switzerland Remote: yes / hybrid Willing to relocate: depends Technologies: python, VHDL, hardware-in-the-loop verification engineer, regulated industries (space,…

and then my coworker comes up to me saying my blog post from years ago fixed his problem. It's a small world

If it were that easy, why do most systems converge to The Big Ball of Mud?

As stated elsewhere, flat org charts lead to informal hierarchies which adversely affects already marginalized groups. Not sure if that's the answer.

There are no trees ;)

I've started swapping ESC and caps-lock first using emacs. However, I feel, if you have a good MX keyboard and press Ctrl with your palm. It is actually really nice

This is taking these ideas to the logical conclusion. That's another idea of mine that's been brooding for a long while.

Concurrent editing or Collaborative real-time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_real-time_editor ) is perhaps a better choice words. Notion is supposedly able to do it:…

I haven't really considered security/rights management yet, that's a good point.
