You don't need "alexa" or "siri" if you have a cat. You can say the cats name and all kinds of things will happen. Probably not what you want, but it's still a kind of "voice interface" And you still have a "she who will not be named"

Social media post with a photo of an animal that appears to be on a tile floor.
The caption says, "This picture of a crow is interesting because...it's actually a cat."
Close inspection reveals the photo to be of a black cat with one eye closed and its head turned so that its ear looks like a bird's beak.

Mit 21 habe ich Webse en weiteren Unternehmen habe ich Back up now beitet und mich auf Konzeption, Skalierung und technische Machbarkeit von Geschäftsmodellen fokussiert.

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mir bewusst viel Zeit genommen, mich tiefergehend mit ChatGPT Codex und Claude Code auseinanderzusetzen. Mit Codex habe ich ein Plugin für mein Smart-Home-System gebaut, um mein Energiemanagement (HEMS) an unsere Anforderungen anzupassen.

Die Software basiert ausschließlich auf Open Source: Python, PostgreSQL und Flutter für das Frontend. Das Plugin liest via Modbus TCP den Wechselrichter aus, verbindet sich mit der Wallbox, der Batterie, mit Solcast für die PV-Prognose und meinen direkt ansteuerbaren Verbrauchern.

Vierzehn Stunden Entwicklung, fünf Stunden Testing, dann eine Woche Optimierung und Bugfixing - und nun automatisiert mein individuelles HEMS alles eigenständig.

Früher wurden dafür hohe fünfstellige Beträge ausgegeben. Jetzt ist es einen Prompt entfernt. Individualentwicklung boomt und die Möglichkeiten wirken grenzenlos.

Was mich daran am meisten beschäftigt, ist nicht die Technik. Es ist die Tatsache, dass Softwareentwicklung viel dynamischer wird und einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich wird.

Natürlich bedeutet das (noch) nicht, dass sichere und performante Software einen Prompt entfernt ist. Aber man benötigt keine hohe Vorstellungskraft, um zu sehen, dass KI sehr bald bei Security- und Architekturfragen vollautomatisch leistungsfähige Systeme konzeptioniert und baut.

Die Frage ist somit nicht mehr, ob man etwas bauen kann. Die Frage ist, ob es jemand benötigt und man einen Bedarf decken kann.

Eines ist aber klar: Menschen mit viel Kreativität haben nun ein Tool an der Hand, das ihnen dabei hilft, technische Hürden schneller zu überwinden.

'Pilze' #FotoVorschlag A couple of years ago, I saw this cluster of fungi along the way. There's so much beauty along the trails. Sometimes we simply don't see it. #photography #fungi

A cluster of small, light brown mushrooms with delicate conical caps grows closely together on a dark, mossy surface. The blurred background fades into shadow, making the little group the clear focal point of the image. Their earthy tones and tight grouping give the scene a quiet, almost magical woodland feel — a tiny community of fungi thriving in the damp shade, captured in a moment of hidden forest life that most walkers would simply pass by.
