What a great week last week! I got to meet up with our Cloud Native friends both at our Trondheim and Bergen offices. So nice to meet up with our colleagues around the country talking about platform engineering, sovereign cloud and AI. I love that we have our community across several cities.

Having a blast at Code Europe 2026. Meeting up with a lot of new and old friends, having great discussions and useful inputs. Just got of stage talking about how we implemented a Development Platform in a 200 year old business. Our lessons learned, choices, etc. #CodeEurope26 #PowerOfSharing

Next week, you can join me talking about how we implemented a developer platform in a 200 year old industry. Huge kudos to Roberth Strand, which was my partner-in-crime in creating this speak initially, and one of the big brains behind CNCF Platforms White Paper. See you there?

An eventful week comes to an end. A lot of interesting questions being raised, for example "How will AI change DevOps/Platform Engineering?". Focus is getting more and more on both AI, security and Sovereignity - and FOSS' role in this. One important tip from Kelsey Hightower: "Just think!"

Container Days Hamburg 2026 is on! Different location, some new people, some "old", the same awsome vibe and so many smart people in one location! A lot of focus on Sovereign solutions this year, following the trend. BWI first out with a great talk about what they've done for Bundeswehr.

Security in k8s might not be the most fun we do as platform engineers. And it's hard to find all the sources and understand why we need all of these components. That's why I think this speak by Ozzie and Nova really needs more views! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQXC...

Really getting excited about going back to Hamburg, and to Container Days! If you're not tired of listening to us yet, Awar and myself are going to talk about security in your MCP servers and agents. How is it possible to secure access to any servers or tools? #powerofsharing #mcp #ai

Next week I'm changing gears! Going to Warsaw, back to DevOpsDays, but this time I'll be talking about my experience with getting an ADHD diagnose as an adult, and how this affects my work life. #DevOpsDays #Warsaw #ADHD #Neurodiversity #PowerOfSharing

Back from the Nordic API Platform Summit, and MCP is the talk of the town! 🚀 As we dive into securing these new endpoints, the balance between control and usability is key. Are we ready to rethink API access control? Let's keep the conversation going—coffee, anyone? #APIsecurity #MCP #NordicAPIs

Manfred @manfredbjorlin.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

What is MCP? And no, I am not talking about Median Cubital Vein or Mediation and Conflict Resolution, but the new way of letting your AI LLM Agents receive data from your APIs. Come join us in Stockholm at Platform Summit 2025 October 13-15, talking about this new "USB-C port for AI applications"

🚂 Choo-choo! I'm so hyped going to Hamburg next week! Again Roberth and myself are so honored we're able to talk mora about how we're enabling development teams in the 200 year old train business develop modern software in a secure, standarized and optimized environment. #ContainerDays #Hamburg

🚨 The "Vibe Coding" epidemic is real! 🤒✨ Tools claiming to create apps without coding lead to 45% security flaws in AI-generated code. Inconsistent patterns and lack of documentation only add to future headaches. Good code needs knowledge. Don't fall for the false economy! #CyberSecurity #DevLife

Remember that modem screech? ☎️ Not just nostalgia—about 265k Americans still use dial-up (US Census). With AOL now discontiniuing dial-up, it’s the end of an era. I went 28.8 -> 36k -> ISDN 64/128k. Still any ADSL/SDSL providers around? What's your early-internet story? #dialup #ISDN #iamold

🚨 Did you hear? In mid-July, Japanese police released a free decryptor for Phobos and 8Base ransomware! Victims can now recover files (.phobos, .elbie, .faust, .LIZARD, and more) without paying a ransom. This is a huge win in the fight against cybercrime! 💻🔒 #CyberSecurity #Ransomware

🚀 Is Linux really not used? Think again! 🐧 Recent data shows 6% of desktop visitors to US government sites use Linux. But wait—Android, based on Linux, dominates with 36%! Cities like Copenhagen and Lyon are exploring Open Source, saving money and boosting local talent. Exciting times ahead! 💻✨

🕶️ Hey Chat! 🕶️ Kong's report on "The State of GenAI in 2025" says by 2026, 80% of companies will buddy up with AI, jumping from 5% in 2023. Epic glow-up! 🤯 GenAI is the GOAT for software dev and chatbots. But let’s stay woke on security and privacy! Who's with me? 🤙 #GenAI #EpicUpgrade #AI ✨

🌟 Swapped Windows & Mac for #Linux (Pop!_OS), and my low-end PC is a high-performance machine! 🚀 Less RAM usage, more freedom. I’m my own IT support, but with great power... you know the rest. 😉 Maybe it's time the corporate world embraced #OpenSource too? #BYOD #LinuxLove

🤖🚩 Generative AI isn’t a silver bullet. Overhyped, poorly planned, often delivers nonsense—like fake reports or HR bots interviewing each other. It’s just a tool, not a solution. Use it wisely. Humans still required. #AI #LLM #HotTake
