Positively Biased, Scientifically Suspicious: A Pragmatic Approach to Enterprise AI Agents
The ideas around agents become much more real when they stop being abstract diagrams and start wiring into the tools I use every day. I work in an enterprise environment, trying to introduce GenAI into an already complex software development lifecycle. That means I care less about toy demos and more about: How does this…

Triple Debt – Technical Debt was the smallest issue you had
Software teams are discovering an uncomfortable reality: the more they lean on generative and agentic AI to ship features faster, the less they feel they truly understand their own systems, and the harder it becomes to reason about failures, architectural changes, or long‑term evolution.1 16 For decades, technical debt has been the dominant metaphor for…

Vibe Coding: What Happens When Software Development Becomes a Conversation
I did not realize my way of coding had changed until I caught myself doing something I would have considered almost cheating a few years ago. I opened my editor, created an empty file, and instead of typing, I just started talking to an AI assistant: here’s the feature, here’s the context, here are the…

The Promise and Paradox: Generative AI in Software Development and the Lessons We’re Still Learning from Brooks and the DORA Movement
When I first encountered a generative AI coding assistant two years ago, I experienced a moment of professional vertigo. Here was a tool that could write code almost as quickly as I could describe what I wanted it to do. The implications seemed revolutionary, almost threatening. Yet as I’ve spent these past years exploring how…

GitHub CoPilot and model capabilities
There are always the discussions on why a bigger context would be better and why it should work, and for some it does not. For me, I rarely hit the limits of the context, but out of curiosity, it would be great to know when I should use which model to get bigger tasks done.…

Sector Size Shenanigans: NVMe Drivers and MSSQL on Windows 11
The story begins with the fact that I was trying to install Microsoft SQL on one of the shiny new test PCs at my workplace. Somehow, installation after installation failed. Always when the instance of the MSSQL Server should be started it failed. If you look for the short and fast answer: 1. MSSQL does…

About cultures, infos and UI in C#
Just recently, I encountered a very interesting problem where the validation of valid inputs in a text field behaved very strangely. Anyone who has had to write C# and WPF applications for different languages and cultures is already familiar with the CultureInfo class. It’s most commonly used when you want to convert a string into…

Culture Codes (in .NET and different OSes)
I tried to search for that info everywhere on the web for a full list. But unless iterating through the data, I wrote my own script. There are still more languages, like the InvariantCulture. In my opinion, this is more like a setting than a real user locale. I also understood the NeutralCultures wrong, because…

Über Kulturen, Informationen und der UI in C#
Erst letztens stieß ich auf ein sehr interessantes Problem, wo die Überprüfung von gültigen Eingaben in einem Textfeld sich sehr seltsam verhielt. Wer also schon mal in C# und WPF Anwendungen für unterschiedliche Sprachen und Kulturen schreiben musste, dem ist bereits die CultureInfo-Klasse bekannt. Am gängigsten vor allem, wenn man aus einer Zeichenkette eine Zahl…

Wo VR heute steht
Ich erinnere mich noch ganz gut an 2016. Der Hype um VR und dass es die Leben von uns verändern wird und wie Spiele auf das nächste Level gebracht werden. Jetzt haben wir 2019. Die PlayStation VR dominiert den Markt, Cardboards sind völlig verschwunden und Oculus und Vive leben so nebenher für die PC Gamer.…
