Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 11hSAP has gone for more markets all the time but it came at a steep price. Only few of the solutions make most of the profit. There’s a long tail of solutions with few customers. The ability to use AI to ´build anything’ is going to make this much worse if not managed well. We shall see 120

Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 23/09/2026The photos sound like a good explanation but aren’t these models trained on text only? My guess is that by now Simon’s svgs have made it deep into the training data so an initial bias for left to right has been reinforced. 100
Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 23/09/2026Why are the vast majority of pelicans riding left to right? Why does there seem to be a preference for red bike frames? Have you ever analyzed the artifacts that the models add but weren’t part of the prompt? 130

Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 05/09/2026Lesson: If you want to go faster in your migration projects, from one DB to another, on-prem to cloud, TypeScript to Rust, ERP to S/4, invest in testing first. Then everything else will become a lot easier. 2/2 020
Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 05/09/2026How is it possible that gigantic projects "switch" to a different programming language... in a few months, not years? AI can migrate code with relative ease now, but that's not it... It's the fact that these projects have high quality tests and excellent test coverage! 1/2 110
Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 30/08/2026I’m peaking a twitter occasionally too. But it’s still bad “text” content. I rather listen to podcasts or watch YouTube from people who know what they are talking about. 010
Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 28/08/2026The replies I'm getting sound like they are coming from a world expert on cryptography who's a SAP Basis admin and an ABAP coder with 20 years of experience.

Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 28/08/2026I might go insane... Can someone please confirm that a stream like this has been calculated by some computer and mathematical formulas?

Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 21/08/2026ATProto life. This should be the only place where I have a password and where I can decide which apps have access to my account and data. It would be the obvious place for a central login flow. Would this be possible? 110
Marc Bernard @marcf.be · 21/08/2026It’s very confusing indeed. I think I own my “atproto data” but then I access it through various apps. So where is my data really? I’m techy enough and have used a PDS browser but it’s so hard to understand what I really control. I would love to have a generic “AT mobile app” that manages my /2 110
