New Blog

Post image

You may have noticed, that I had not much time to blog about something in the past months… One thing was, that we all need money, so I had to work very much. And as some of you know, I’m also studying in the evenings.

Long story short, I’ve restarted blogging with a new engine and new design once again. Key is (not just to use new swag), to simplify blogging for me, so I can put more time in the articles and less in managing the blog itself. I’m not much of a frontend developer or a designer, so the design will maybe not impress you ;)

Technically, the new blog is based on Hugo and GitHub Pages, and you can find it on frne.github.com.

I will port some of the older articles and of course add new ones.

Big news: Currently for hire!

If you are looking a motivated Java/Scala dev in the area of Zurich (Switzerland), we maybe should talk ;)

We Have More Important Things to Do Than Culture!

We Have More Important Things to Do Than Culture!

A few weeks ago, someone told me something that stopped me in my tracks. We were discussing the lack of team and company culture, and they said: “We have more important things to do! We first need to fix the processes and the systems before we can care about culture and these things.”

I’ve heard this in different variations throughout my career. Every time, it reveals the same fundamental misunderstanding: Culture is something you get to after the real work is done. A nice-to-have. A cherry on top once the org chart is clean, the processes are humming, and the product is stable.

That moment never comes. And the reason it never comes is often… culture.
