Hi, I am Johannes and I have some thoughts about tech, productivity, and life choice stuff
If you are optimizing for caloric deficit, you should try to plan your meals based on your ability to use your make rational decisions. In the morning, when you are at the peak of your mental and will power skip breakfast. For lunch, when you can still make decent decisions, optimize for leafy greens (vegetable & salads) as well as protein intake. Cut the carbs. For dinner, you accept your…
The agentic personal assistant architecture relies on an agentic loop, typically controlled through chat interfaces bridged to WhatsApp or Telegram. Within this architecture, the agentic loop can:(a) call online models from various providers;(b) leverage context residing in the file system (MD-file-based memory) and in vector databases, enabling semantic searches of previous sessions (lossless…
Motivation The core problem was compliance. Sharing my work calendar directly into personal life is still a compliance barrier. Google’s built-in busy/free sharing is safer, but too coarse for real coordination and still reflects every event equally. That creates a mismatch: some events are true commitments to other people some events are just blocks to signal "not available for work" both appear…
The internet gave us platforms. Platforms gave us lists. Lists are about to die. The Thesis Every marketplace, job board, real estate platform, hotel aggregator — every "list" business built on the internet over the last 20 years — is about to be disintermediated. Not by a better platform. By agents. The platform era solved one problem: aggregation. It collected supply and demand in one place and…
I have been running OpenClaw as my daily driver for several weeks. Something fundamental has shifted. This is not incremental improvement. This is a new computing paradigm. Anthropic Wins for Execution I initially ran this setup with Gemini models. They failed frequently. Anthropic Claude models are significantly better at execution. OpenAI Codex performs similarly, but rate limits hit fast and…
I’ve been testing out Clawdbot recently. The concept is fascinating, even if the execution is still a bit rough around the edges. The basic premise is strictly about where your data lives versus where the "thinking" happens. Right now, if you use Google Gemini, and your life is inside the Google cloud it works well. It can read your calendar and create entries based on your emails. But the moment…
Let’s be honest: running is already a sport with extraordinary time efficiency. Not only from the perspective that you can start nearly anywhere with zero entry costs and no barriers, but it is also one of the most effective methods for reliably improving your cardiovascular system. But if you are just running, you are leaving massive amounts of value on the table. Running is an extremely…
I’ve been running LogVariables.com as an MVP for a while now. On an basis (just me), it works; the core utility is proving itself daily. But to get this into the hands of others, I need to move from a prototype to a scalable product. Here is my roadmap for the next few development cycles. M1: The Foundation (Longevity & Privacy) My goal is to build "forever software"—an app with minimal…
Keeping the tradition alive, I’m concluding 2025 with a recap to review my personal highlights and set the tone for 2026. The Physical Front From a sports perspective, this year was defined by consistency and endurance. I was active for a total of 350 days (+12% versus last year), driven largely by a routine of running almost every morning. Running: I hit the road 318 days (+16% YoY), clocking in…
There is a distinct beauty to the sourdough process. It is an amazing paradox: complex enough to feel substantial, yet simple enough to allow for a total overview of the variables. It offers a sense of control and perfection that makes baking this particular good so interesting. It is a peculiar process that leverages the absolute fundamentals of baking to create something extraordinary. 1. The…
