Engineering Manager & SW Development Enthusiast
[No tokens have been burned to write this article 🙂 ] Recently I was in the mood to do some reverse engineering and see how far one can come with an AI to do so. Already a while ago I have read about GhidraMCP. Ghidra is an reverse engineering framework and disassembler made and maintained [ ]
[No tokens have been burned to write this article 🙂 ] For some weeks I am actively using Hermes Agent. What s that you may wonder? If you are remotely following along the LLM/AI news, you probably heard of OpenClaw. Thats an agent harness for your typical AI model like Claude or GPT, but it comes [ ]
On maintenance cost of AI-generated solutions, considering yolo-ed SW that is especially hard to maintain beyond some trivialities: Your AI coding agent, the one you use to write code, needs to reduce your maintenance costs. Not by a little bit, either. You write code twice as quick now? Better hope you’ve halved your maintenance costs. [ ]
[No tokens have been burned to write this article 🙂 ] Even though I am subject to some skepticism on the rise of LLM/GenAI, its impact on software engineering practices (must read: very lucid article on the impact of AI code generation on the whole software engineering value chain, from a lean perspective) and the [ ]
I had The Phoenix Project on my bookshelf for long time. As it was mentioned in our christmas townhall, this finally triggered me to read it. And man was it a read. In contrast to most other book on IT I have read before, its a novel, and it is written in a very dense [ ]
Finally the hard work of our engineering team gets into the spotlight! It was hard work and we succeeded 🦾 very motivating start of 2026! https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxDgbFauNfOJpYe-GM5_CzJbA0O3FcPjd6 Great teamwork by my teams at Mercedes-Benz AG Sindelfingen, MBition, Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India and Luxoft Egypt. Thank you very much
When I published my work around my own operating system JOS many moths back, my former colleague and friend Alexander suggest that in order to make my OS useful, it requires bash. Little did he (or me) know, but this lead to a one year long endeavour to get a shell working. One bug enabler [ ]
As someone who is using many web services and also contributing there, many automated notifications accumulate over time. Jira Ticket updates, newly created Confluence pages in a folder I observe, Gitlab Merge Request status updates, there is so much going on, and I personally like to read along whenever I have some spare minutes.

(Disclaimer: As usual, I am writing here from the perspective of my personal, automotive embedded sw perspective. Below are my thoughts based on everyday-experience as an engineering manager and sw enthusiast. I am not a trained/certified test expert with deep knowledge in testing theory/science, frameworks and terminology. Please take it with a grain huge truckload [ ]
I am happy to announce that my own operating system written from scratch JOS got some updates in recent months. Since the last update I was able to extend two essential capabilities to progress towards my big next goal (running a somewhat useful shell): Filesystem and Disk Driver. As usual, both are very rudimentary and [ ]
