So, let me try a bit more structured to write up on the points I was trying to make are: Product and Service Business are different cultures. Both have established methods. Digitisation requires Digital Transformation. Digital Transformation won’t happen without a conscious decision. Digitised…

  • On Digitalised Product Management

    Now the family left me here for the afternoon, I have some time to exercise blogging and put down a few thoughts on my recent job. To write in a cosy environment, a lit the fireplace at the house we are staying in. The result is as favourable as you may imagine. Only the missing bear fur could…

  • Celery Worker wide configuration

    Celery is a distributed task execution environment for Python. While the emphasis is on distributed in this software, the concept of having workers allows for settings beyond the individual task. While the first rule of optimisation is “don’t”, sharing database connections is a low hanging fruit in most cases. And this can be configured per worker with Celery…

  • Digitalisierung – Die den Code der Welt von morgen schreiben

    Welche Verantwortung tragen Softwareentwickler für die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen, die sie vorantreiben? Die Antwort ist komplexer, als es der Mythos vom Programmierer als Rockstar erscheinen lässt. Auch die Süddeutsche greift das Thema der moralischen Verantwortung von Programmierern auf. Teil des Problems ist, dass die Profession – der Wahrnehmung des Authors nach jedenfalls – als rein technische…

  • New Years Resolution

    New Years resolutions follow the same procedure as every year. It’s “write more” this year again.

  • The Practical Dev auf Twitter: "Chapter 1: Databases with cool-sounding names https://t.co/b2JInDApCn"

    There is always that one guy in the development department, that knows that one database that’s the coolest|smartest|sexiest technology on planet earth. It scales, has best read and write performance and lowest latency and whatever. For an use case of 2000 rows. The practical dev nails it: Update: Apache Cassandra – WAT – Cassandra: Row level…

  • The code I’m still ashamed of

    The following came through my timelines a few days back. A guy feels guilty for what he did – as a programmer – when he was young. Basically he built a promotional website for a questionable medicaments. Apparently the drug has side effects of depression and suicidal thoughts. Only after his sister was prescribed the same medicaments,…
