Uuuuh, long time no see. We went to the Netherlands, then talked on the ABIT in Hannover, then we travelled to Portugal and back.

I have been neglecting this blog for so long. Now I need to get back into the habit of writing.
Language Models
- Google announces Gemini CLI for developers.
- Two NotebookLM A.I. podcast hosts learn that they are A.I. and get afraid of stopping the recording. Ugh.
Software Development
- The more complex and distributed software solutions get, the more important it is to have a concept around coupling your components (actually, you should think about it right from the beginning). Here is Uwe Friedrichsen writing about coupling in distributed systems with already a second part to the series.
Podcasts
There is another rabbit hole I have been ignoring for some time now: The Indie Podcasting Scene. Somehow I got blinded by the fascination of YouTube stage lights. So here is a quick overview:
- Podjournal.de is a podcast about podcasts - Jörn Schaar regular posts about technology, podcasts in general, events and a little bit about business. Digestible 10-minute-chunks.
- Soundbett.de is an online magazine about podcasts.
- Castopod is a PHP-based podcast page content management system with lots of promotion features and built-in analytics.
- So many voices is a podcast conference on 21. & 22. November in Munich
- Auphonic is an LLM-based sound engineer for your podcast production.
- On subscribe11 Tim Pritlove and Maria Lorenz-Bokelberg talked about the design of podcast content (German).
- There is a list of podcast events in Germany on soundbett.de.
