Looking back at 2025, personally: A year of changing perspectives, of turning some worlds upside down, of celebrating nature & arts, of enjoying the moments.

Despite all challenges, problems & things gone wrong: I like to remember (and turn up) the good things, as it helps me stay sane in this ever faster spinning world 🌍🌎🌏

See you in 2026! πŸ₯‚πŸŽ‰

And... the people here at Mastodon made a nice little wrap-up of "my" year 2025: https://mastodon.social/@thmuch/wrapstodon/2025/be19654b0df64fa8

Looking back at 2025, professionally: Again a year of speaking at conferences, writing, talking, listening ... Thank you for being part of my journey of learning by teaching, of understanding by explaining 😊

One of the highlights: 1st time programme chair of a conference – on Tech Excellence 🀩

I celebrate every year we're still committed to creating this treat together 😊

My favorites this year follow on from my selection last year pretty well: https://mastodon.social/@thmuch/113658328130296552

Most relevant IT books 2025, IMHO:
πŸ“• "Architecture for Flow" by @suksr
πŸ“— "User Needs Mapping" by Rich Allen
πŸ“˜ "Frictionless" by Nicole Forsgren and Abi Noda
πŸ“™ "Code Health Guardian" by Artie Shevchenko

All of these books address collaboration and shared understanding from different perspectives and on different levels.

Quite a challenge again to select only four books – thank you for sharing your experience in printed words πŸ™
