There is still this narrative that the electricity prices in Germany is high. The truth is that nobody pays those prices. Most of the time, people switch their provider every year to get a huge discount. Deals like this are happening quite often: www.mydealz.de/deals/250eur...
Recently I finished watching Hitler and the Nazis on Netflix, there you can also find things related to the German military during The Third Reich.
Also, Ray Dalio has a really well produced video about the changing world order: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgua...
Starting this new year, I can’t help but feel grateful. In a world that always pushes us to want more, taking a moment to appreciate having everything I need feels especially meaningful. mertbulan.com/2026/01/01/a...
I wrote about my favorite books, tv shows and games in the last quarter of this year: mertbulan.com/2025/12/28/m...
I also had similar observations related to "engineer's disease" and "brain-rotting drug" but didn't know that there were already defined terms for those behaviours.
Just finished reading More Everything Forever by @adambecker.bsky.social. Probably one of the best books about the tech industry, its prominent figures, their ideologies, and motivations. I think everyone in the tech industry should read this book.
If you had invested in European stocks instead of the S&P 500 at the beginning of the year, you would have earned about 15% more in gains.
If you follow the mainstream media, you'll often hear comparisons of GDP growth between the U.S. and Germany, usually framed as Germany "falling behind." That narrative misses the point: the issue isn't a lack of productivity, but rather that Germans generally choose to work fewer hours.
Maybe your friends are also my friends and I was just visiting them 😅
I also took a couple of pictures, but unfortunately, my iPhone couldn't really capture the beauty of the fog. 🥲
I don't know why ignored Acapulco for a very long time. It is such an amazing show! Finished the first two seasons in a week.
I wish you turn your blogs posts into books.
Happy Birthday! 🥳
It's my birthday, but today *you* get the presents!
Introducing "Beans", a CLI-based, flat-file issue tracker designed for humans and their robot friends. 🫘
Track your work right in your repo, using the CLI. And if you work with coding agents, supercharge them with a full picture of your project!
Don't waste your money on Reddit Ads. Most of them are either bots or accidental clicks.

If you'd like to learn more about my journey and the origins of my Franzbrötchen app, I recommend reading Christian's article (in German). It was my first-ever interview with a journalist, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Christian!
I don't know how a non-deterministic system could make the next productivity jump. It works for us because we have tools to test the code, fix it, and test it again easily. This is not the case for 99% of the professions.
City life can be complicated, with information spread across countless sources. That’s why I believe every city needs a City Super App.
In my latest blog post, I share why these apps are the future and how I built my own for Hamburg, Franzbrötchen.

I think this is the main problem in the tech industry. It works perfectly for coders, but not any other discipline so far. Sure, they will make money but I'm not sure if that will be enough.
Do you know anyone outside the tech industry who is familiar with Anthropic?
I'm so happy to have finally found "homemade" Panettone!
I first tried it thanks to an Italian colleague who brought one baked by his Nonna, and it was absolutely delicious with the soft and fluffy texture. I've tried store-bought versions before, but none of them came close.
Franzbrötchen v1.2 is ready! Christmas markets, weekly markets, stumbling stones, iMessage Sticker, playgrounds and more! apps.apple.com/de/app/franz...
