Diagram As Code

I recently sat in a lecture about PlantUML and the advantages of Diagram As Code. Diagram As Code is a special variant of Documentation As Code. It is the possibility for software developers to create their documentation in the form of text files without the use of word processing systems.

Terry Pratchett

Christmas is a contemplative time. You meet up with friends and family and enjoy being together. Until a family member gets in touch and asks for a new printout of the family tree. Family trees were a topic on this blog in 2018 and s

Review of the Advent of Code 2024

This year I took part in Advent of Code for the first time. Advent of Code is an exciting and challenging annual competition in which a task has to be solved every day from December 1st to December 25th. The task can be solved using any programming language such as Java, Typescript, Python, Rust, SQL and Go.

Ich schreibe cosy Strickkrimis ohne Mord. Woher ich meine Ideen bekomme?

Eben war ich in der Apotheke, das erste Mal mit E-Rezept. Da war auch was auf meiner Karte gespeichert, allerdings nicht das Medikament, das mir verschrieben wurde. Auf dem QR-Ausdruck stand zwar die richtige PZN, aber die wird nicht übernommen.

Passiert das einem Allergiker, hat man schon das nächste Opfer.
