New version of my rock climbing tracker. You can now plan multi-pitch routes and upload topos. You can also track the time you need. Plus a couple of fixes, as always.

From the Papyrus-Museum: contract to hire a flute player supporting the wine harvest (4th century). Hey, guess the flute player had another career in mind....

Living in Vienna gives you access to incredible museums. Just used this morning to visit the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek and the Papyrus-Museum. Absolutely amazing. Yearly ticket is 37€. Prunksaal - Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.

GH Copilot is changing the default review effort for agent based code reviews to balanced (instead of lite, as until now). This will increase costs by 5x, according to the GitHub Copilot documentation. GH needs money? Switch it off or back to lite.

Ah, the joys of reading. Peter Naur in his "Programming as Theory Building" referenced Paul Feyerabend's "Against Method". The Wikipedia article states briefly that Imre Lakatos wanted to write "For Method" but then died.

This one is actually San Salvador de Valdediós. The monastery is called Santa Maria. Some more from this incredible church.

Another astonishing pre-romanico church from Asturias: Santa María de Valdediós! All photos mine.

This could be my coat of arms. Found in Aviles, Asturias.

And another one of the pre-romanicos from Asturias close to Oviedo: San Miguel de Lillo, again 9th century. Built under the Asturian King Ramiro I, as part of a bigger palace. Only around a third of the orginal building is existing. Still, what a beauty!

The stunning Santa Maria del Naranco, close to Oviedo in Asturias. 9th century.

Man, watching the Final in Spain is like perfect. We are outside at the central plaza and they have the perfect sign here!

Oh wow, what a weekend. Mountaineering in Upper Austria with my son and my brother. Großer Priel - 2nd time for me, what a beautiful mountain.

Reading @grimalkina.bsky.social 's "The Psychology of Software Teams" fresh from the press and nodding my head all along. Deming is looking down from wherever he may be now. Strong recommendation!

Cover of Cat Hicks' book "The Psychology of Software Teams!

"Across many different research areas, psychological scientists who study achievement have aligned theories and evidence that uncover the same, overarching pattern: fixating on performance as the only form of success leads people to learn inefficient and destructive patterns, and ultimately stops the very strategies that made them productive and high performing in the first place."

Hey, @mariozechner.at - you are mentioned in @doctorow.pluralistic.net‘s latest book 😀

Some fixes, some minor new stuff. The app is getting really good and useful now. Happy about any kind of feedbck!

Good stuff from Mario. There will be a risk based approach needed and this will determine how much oversight we need to keep. Low risk - low oversight - more agent autonomy - more productivity gain but also less accountabilty. From one of my talks..

New one - Ijsut shows how useless instruction files are. All hooks need to be implemented in the harness.

After some additional arguments the conclusion:

The situation changes if LLM-based agents enter the team: Speed of change is increasing, putting strain on the review/approval process:

The process of review and approval is not always done well. Anti-patterns are observed. One of the is approval theater:

Robert - DevOpsBob @ruzitschka.at · 16/05/2026

First, I touch the regular process to verify changes to the system are ok - approval is a statement and a promise, no guarantee.

DeepSeek came up with an imaginary Wada City (at least that is what the Great Liar told me) during my coding session.

Nice. Now I got the info about costs of GitHub copilot with the new billing model. It is just 10 times more expensive. Pretty sure this will be quite popular.

Legendary quote from Dave Parnas that I dug out when researching the history of Brooks' "No Silver Bullet" over time. From the OOPSLA 2007 panel discussion with Brooks, @martinfowler.com , Dave Parnas and others. Seems quite fitting in these times.

Robert - DevOpsBob @ruzitschka.at · 04/05/2026

My talk "No Silver Bullet revisited - 2026 edition" is almost done. I am quite happy with some of my slides.

It looks not too shabby! the super majority for Magyar is totally possible.

This is a new one to me. The model implemented a database to track to dos instead of using the normal .md files:

Hey, there is other stuff besides war and Trump and AI. Really interesting reading!
