Making a video with Claude felt like having a production crew: I directed, Claude built the pipeline. 67 seconds, two days, nine iterations. Elvis’ footsteps are my fingers tapping on the table, because the real Elvis kept sniffing my phone 🐾 www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_PA...

Reading this article reminded me of J.R.R. Tolkien’s quote: “Short cuts make long delays.” alifeengineered.substack.com/p/on-the-dea...

Celebrating the launch of my own, cloud-based Bluesky-to-Mastodon sync service with this beautiful picture of today morning’s blue sky with clouds over Munich.
If you’re near Werksviertel (Ostbahnhof) in #Munich, I recommend stopping by Khanittha for some delicious, authentic Thai street food! khanittha.de
A while ago, a friend asked me whether #Claude could keep memory per project only. My answer grew into a blog post starring Leonard from the movie “Memento” 🎞️. What’s your take on AI assistants and their memory? constantin.glez.de/claude-memory-memento/
Working on my own Bluesky-to-Mastodon sync tools, running automatically on AWS Lambda. Lots of tests, guards, and circuit breakers included.

I love Bullet Journaling. I went from paper, to ePaper, now iPad. But: Which app? Very happy to see that Manuel Welsch just launched Dotted Mind. (I’m a beta tester.) Just the right mix of features, helping you stay focused on thinking with your hand. Congratulations, Manuel! dottedmind.app

If you hand work to AI agents, you end up reading a lot of Markdown: briefs, reports, plans. Hat tip to indie dev Arthur Teboul’s neat MacMD Viewer for Macs: Quick Look via space bar, nice outlines, Mermaid support, auto-reload while the agent writes. 👇 macmdviewer.com
MacMD Viewer: Markdown on your Mac. Ready to read.
Open a README, a spec or an AI-generated plan as a readable document. Quick Look in Finder, Mermaid diagrams and live reload.

1. Anthropic is adding more IDE stuff into the Claude App (Editor, Terminal, etc.). 2. The Claude App (according to sources) still runs on Electron (not optimal). 3. Zed is a really, good and fast (Rust!) code editor with IDE features. ❤️ Now I’m thinking: wouldn’t it be cool if both apps merged?
Trotz Regen ist in München der Geschwister-Scholl-Platz in München voll mit Menschen, denen eine gesunde demokratische Grundordnung wichtig ist und die deshalb trotz Regen zur #PRUEF -Veranstaltung gekommen sind.
Watched ”Backrooms“ yesterday. Great psycho horror movie. I read an explainer afterwards and that made it even better. Recommended! www.imdb.com/title/tt2665...

If you ever wondered where all this hate speech on the internet comes from, the answer is more simple, even innocent than you may think: youtu.be/zCvPPaIN5Ew The irony behind all of this just blew my mind.

During our vacation, I tried to make AI hallucinate, feeding image generators pure noise. Turns out the smart ones refused turning my gibberish into brass numbers. Gemini told me it was a Unix timestamp. 🙄 Stable Diffusion happily dreamed away. Blog post + repo: constantin.glez.de/posts/2026-0...

Awesome print-to-e-ink project. What a simple and obvious, yet rare idea! Makes me want to build it myself. https://nishantjosh.dev/blogs/how-to-build-a-fking-printer/h
Sitting on a couch in a Subdued store, waiting for my girls to find something they like. This may take a while.
