{ remote } Talk on 08.12.2025 at embarc Architektur-Punsch - On (Modern?) Software Development
On 08.12.2025 I held my talk „Thoughts on (Modern?) Software Development – Observations From a 20-Year Journey” at the embarc Architektur-Punsch (remote and in German).

„Politics is how we make decisions in groups when we don’t agree on the goals. If we do agree on the goals then it's just a question how we’re going to meet them - we’re doing project management. But what do you do in a society, or a company, or an open source project or anything else where we don’t agree on where we’re supposed to go? […] That’s what politics studies. And I don’t think it’s a dirty word.“
