Chris Zielecki from Sturmsucht.de has written a good blog post about the Fediverse. Luckily not focused on technology but on users and needs.

Recommended read: Frictionless – About Eliminating Development Friction
I just read Martin Fowler’s blogpost and foreword to Frictionless by Andrew Harmel-Law. The book’s core idea is simple but powerful: How do we make developers truly efficient? Not by adding more processes, tools, or meetings, but by removing the friction that slows teams down and using smart metrics.
I put it on my reading list and I’m curious about it!

o365 “control plane” for AI Agents coming
I just read an article on InfoWorld, that Microsoft rolls out Agent 365 ‘control plane’ for AI agents. The description sounds quite well what an enterprise needs in terms of compliance and security:
Microsoft said that Agent 365 unlocks five capabilities intended to make enterprise-scale AI possible:
- Registry, to view all agents in an organization, including agents with agent ID, agents registered by the user, and shadow agents.
- Access control, to bring agents under management and limit access only to needed resources.
- Visualization, to explore connections between agents, people, and data, and monitor agent performance.
- Interoperability, by equipping agents with applications and data to simplify human-agent workflows. They would be connected to Work IQ to provide context of work to onboard into business processes.
- Security, to protect agents from threats and vulnerabilities and remediate attacks that target agents.

Don’t promote your most talented technologists into people management
I just attended an event where Casey West also demoed some stuff. Just now I found his blog at https://caseywest.com as well. And scrolling through, I saw his post A Call for More Tech Leadership from 2015 where he writes:
Don’t promote your most talented technologists into people management. Promote them into technical leadership roles instead.
Casey WestWell it’s 10 years later and still just true!

How to guide your teams to use GenAI effectively while avoiding the pitfalls
We often see and hear a lot of hype and – unfortunately – enshittification when it comes to GenAI. Despite knowing that there are indeed some valuable use cases for the application of AI to solve some issues, I rarely read about a employee friendly adoption of GenAI.
The article AI for Network Managers: Leading Teams in the Age of Intelligent Automation was a quite refreshing read in that regard!

A Vacuum Robot should not Require a permanent Internet Connection
Today morning I read a really nice article / blog post “The Day My Smart Vacuum Turned Against Me“. The whole story is about a guy who disallowed his smart vacuum cleaner to access the internet. After a while it failed, got repaired, failed again, got repaired and after all stopped working.

Those Who Forget the Dotcom Crash Are Doomed to Repeat It — with GenAI
A friend recently recommended Craig McCaskill’s article “The Bubble That Knows It’s a Bubble” with a disclaimer “it’s quite a read”. After forgetting it and coming back to it later I can say: it’s so worth reading it!
