On first sight, this article might seem like another example of slapping an AI sticker on a product to keep it interesting. But in this case, it makes sense. For agentic AI systems, event-driven architecture is still relevant.

Beware the distributed monolith: Why Agentic AI needs Event-Driven Architecture to avoid a repeat of the microservices disaster - TNGlobal

EDA for agentic AI systems is crucial because it promotes loose coupling, allowing agents to operate independently and communicate asynchronously. This approach prevents the same architectural pitfall...

The OOP in Munich was the first conference I ever attended as a junior dev. So I’m very excited to be back 25 years later, for OOP 2026, to speak about event-driven architecture.

Maybe this helps: Meta AI recommends Signal 😀. (Source: mastodon.social/@aboutsignal...)

What I don't get.. with many people I could suggest to use Signal instead of WhatsApp, they didn't mind. Of course not, they're reasonable people. But some refuse. It seems the thought of one more app notifying them of messages freaks them out. No argument against Meta helps. I'm at my wits' end.

Next up: Ronna Steinberg. Just 2 minutes in, my favorite quote of the conference, for sure: „It‘s not schön if it‘s not fun.“ She made it rhyme somehow.

My KanDDDinsky talk this year: less fundamental than my usual talks. More: what works well, and what doesn’t. Patterns, lessons, and maybe a few true stories.

The line-up is amazing, and I’m humbled to be part of it. Hope to see you there!

Current status: Preparing the short, condensed, German 🇩🇪 version of my EDA workshop. I think it's going to be quite intense 😅. A lot to cover in 1/2 day. More info and sign up here:

Yeah, I know. Codeberg themselves use forgejo.org

Forgejo – Beyond coding. We forge.

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

I should add though: Codeberg's focus is on public repositories / FOSS software. From the FAQ:

Codeberg's mission is to promote free/libre software. [..]

If you do not contribute to any free/libre software project at all, Codeberg is unfortunately not the right place for you.

Coding with AI feels like teaching. You still need to learn before you can teach. Deep understanding of the domain and software quality still matters. But not everyone who enjoys coding will enjoy instructing a machine. It’s a different kind of creativity.

Using a relational model in an Event-Driven Architecture? You probably know the transactional outbox pattern.
Adding it to the Awesome Event-Driven Architecture list soon.

Always wanted this to be interactive so I could solve the cube in 2D. Everyone’s using AI code assistants now, so I had Claude build a first version. It’s rough - no tests yet - but already fun to play with (for me, anyway): www.huehnken.de/games/circle...

What I like about CTO Craft: it’s more than conferences, they’re building a community, with Slack and in-person mixers. I haven’t been to one yet, but there’s one in Hamburg next week. Looking forward to it! If you're a CTO or senior tech leader, maybe see you there?

If you spent two full days on uncomfortable chairs and still enjoyed it, it must be @amaconf.bsky.social 😀. Many very pleasant encounters, the conference has a great community spirit about it. Thanks for having me!

The last conference of this Winter/Spring for me, ending the Spring conference season with a highlight: Stoked to be speaking at @amaconf.bsky.social later today. Currently enjoying the keynote by Simon Wardley.

I said I expected to be inspired, and Fast Flow Conf did not disappoint. Great talks all around, kudos to the speakers.
And the closing keynote hitting a point for me as well, moving beyond "enabling team" for architecture. Great day. Also fantastic venue and organization!
