„"Hello!“ lyukhina lunged forward and hugged Stratt. “I’m here to die for Earth! Pretty awesome, yes?!"
I leaned to Dimitri. "Are all Russians crazy?"
"Yes," he said with a smile. "It is the only way to be Russian and happy at the same time."
"That's ... dark."
"That's Russian!"“ -

@ufried’s JAX 2026 slide deck:
„The 7 pitfalls of AI“
-
“To sum up: There is some level of essential acceleration. However, this perceived ever-increasing speed in IT that exhausts us increasingly is something we created and fuel ourselves. This is what I mean by:
We are our own worst enemies.
We are the ones who make our lives worse by reflexively running faster and faster, in directions that others set.”

„What struck me most is the emphasis on what grows quietly:
Not the visible complexity in the code.
But the erosion of understanding.
The fading of intent.
The slow drift between what we think a system is and what it has become.“

@ufried: „It has never been about code"

"Reading and reasoning about unfamiliar code is among the most cognitively demanding activities developers undertake, which is partly why understanding erosion is so consequential. The psychological mechanism behind this is what Shaw and Nave refer to as cognitive surrender: adopting AI outputs with minimal scrutiny, bypassing both intuition and deliberate reasoning [...]. This is importantly different from…“ 1/

„Now, I would love to say we operate all day every day with each of these guiding principles, critical behaviors, and visible actions in mind. But this side of heaven, we must still deal with regular human beings who have challenges at home, don't feel well, get up set when they feel disrespected or unheard, and misinterpret the actions of others around them. In other words, we are a real team with real people. Our mission…“ 1/

1.) Be Responsible by working with focus, being transparent, acting with discipline, and practicing servant leadership.
2.) Be Effective by using systems thinking, simplifying, making decisions, finding compromise, and acting proactively.
3.) Grow by fostering inquisitiveness, determining intrinsic motivation, reading, teaching, and mentoring compassionately.
4.) Nurture Healthy Relationships by assuming good intent, putting…“ 2/

Create meaningful, sustainable, positive, human impact.
Always demonstrate integrity and authenticity.
Act in a way that expresses care, hope, love, and joy!
These guiding principles act as Menlo's decision-making guardrails. We can improve the speed of decision making if we consider that each decision we make is consistent with these guiding…“ 3/

„Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.Whether or not we want to believe Gandhi's words, we all have to admit we've seen them play out over and over again.“

„Joy at work seems like such a simple idea - just make everyone happy, right? No! Embracing joy at work means fighting joy's greatest enemy: fear. And unfortunately, leadership based on fear is the status quo for nearly every organization and bureaucracy.“

„All of this, it is imperative to add, takes on special urgency in the face of the change we will confront in the near future. One Oxford study suggests that fully 50 percent of American white-collar jobs are at risk to artificial intelligence in the next twenty years. And that includes the high end of the labor force. As Nicholas Carr said in „The Glass Cage: Automation and Us“, „The intellectual…“ 1/

„What we need is an admission of how little we actually know about how to pass safely through the next few decades, the courage to examine a wide range of alternative programs and, most of all, a dedication not to dogma but to solutions. Finding any solution will be hard enough.“

‘Das kommt darauf an was ich will.’
‘Einfach wie sie aussieht wenn keiner was will.’
‘Dann sag’ ich wie sie dann aussieht und dann heißt es: ‘Hui, das ist aber düster!’’Keiner traut sich zu sagen wie WILL ich sie in 3 Jahren haben… denn dann muss man arbeiten!’
’Ich wollte einfach nur sagen es ist hart und wir müssen uns endlich mal mit den Problemen auseinandersetzen und nicht immer drüber schwallen!“ 🎯’
