Maybe it’s a sign you’re better suited to sales than to development.

Isn’t it most charming when users not using the software think about how to get other users not using it to start using it?

Addicted to a constant media dopamine stream. Restless, hopeless, unproductive.

Shouting characters in the void. Not entertaining enough for an echo.

Who actually sees that. Every two days a new follower but no likes. Feels fake.

The greatest gift is a happy mind. How can we sustain this state for as long as possible?

A change in behavior requires brain capacity. Under stress you will be the default.

I was told it’s not good to distract yourself from a feeling. But if it prevents useless overthinking loops?

In Germany we dont have Bluesky, only Graysky.

Money kills illusion

Customers have no empathy with companies. Starting a business is tough.

Web-based SaaS includes IT-Administration. German companies still underrate this convenient and cost-saving advantage.

First data loss in production. I feel so alive.

Let's cut subsidies and taxes. The incentives for federal employees are not aligned with what citizens want, depriving them of their prosperity.

Every regulation should include generous thresholds for small businesses. Sacrificing this innovative potential is far too costly for an economy.

Enablement over Regulation. It's unclear whether with the EU AI Act you're even safe reselling a CustomGPT or a fine-tuned OpenAI model. It may be well thought out, but the signal it sends out kills the already weak spirit of innovation. I don't want to imagine my future like this.

Good point. I feel like root causes are deeply programmed into us. How to adress „wrong“ feelings?

How to sustainably kill you inner narcissist? Exposing him to his pain?

Perseverance during tough times is a key skill for entrepreneurs. Exercising it hurts.

Late-night focus is fulfilling and exhausting. Addicted to ambition, the coder’s hands are cold.

Due to the higher durability of soda bottles they are als reused more often, making them a smaller problem.

Well-rested in the morning my thoughts get lost in how I could tackle my challenges today to have an impact.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I have a strong bias towards sql vs document-based these days. Requiring data seems so beautiful, clean and future-proof.

Again dreaming about seamless API interactions - how satisfying :D

Staying awake can be addictive.

For money or status?

A social platform in my eyes is a platform that inspires you to create not only consume - if it’s not rewarded with at least a few viewers, it will not happen

What are you minded like?

Is there a platform where people genuinely engage with ideas that may not provide immediate value—perhaps even just within a small, thoughtful community?
