The Malicious (Coding) Agent …
I just watched Agentic ProbLLMs: Exploiting AI Computer-Use and Coding Agents from Johann Rehberger on the #39c3. He shows quite impressive how the future threat model looks like, the more AI Agents are deployed. In his talk he demoes a couple of attacks that were applied by using agents. I don’t want to summarize the…

The 39C3 has ended and lot’s of Talks are waiting
The 39C3: Power Cycles, the 39th Congress of the Chaos Computer Club has finished. I followed the congress via the #39C3 Hashtag on Mastodon which was quite interesting. I’ve never been there myself but at least I got some impressions via the posts.

You Don’t Need to be the Boss to Influence
I just read Influence Without Authority: How to Get People to Listen Without Being the Boss from Bri Chapman. Most people think influence comes from a title. From being the person who approves budgets, signs off on decisions, or sits at the top of an org chart. But that’s not how it actually works. Bri…

Blogs Have Become to Me What LinkedIn Should Be
To me, LinkedIn was supposed to be the professional network — a place for thoughtful discussion about work related stuff and genuine connection. Yet, over the years, it feels that the content and tone has shifted for engagement (“what do you think?”, “how do you do it?”), self glorification (“especially after quitting a company and…

Reproducible Vibe Coding | It’s all About Context
Actually I wanted to try a bit GithubCopilot with Agents.md. Yet .. I think during the project I totally forgot to test the influence of the Agents file but tried “vibeCoding” in a reproducible way. I had a very little project in mind that authenticates to Mastodon, fetches some data, saves into a database and…

On Mastodon, I just found a link to the Terrible Software Blog. (Definitely a blog to follow, I just added it to my RSS reader). I found this article pretty good: What Actually Makes You Senior. But if you strip away the title, the salary, and the years of experience, there’s one core skill that…

I Changed the Fediverse Handler to @fgraf
When I started the Fediverse integration of the blog, I just made a default handler for the full blog and called it @blog@www.locked.de. Yet, the more I use the blog for the fediverse, the less this made sense to me as it felt too impersonal. While I could switch the setting to allow profiles for…

Recommended Read about a Microservices Reality Check
Docker’s recent article “Do You Really Need Microservices?” delivers a good dose of pragmatism with regards to Microservices. The article doesn’t dismiss microservices outright— it acknowledges their value at massive scale — but it also hightlights an uncomfortable truth: most teams simply don’t operate at that scale. What I particularly like are the warnings about…
