Artificial intelligence is the hot topic of the moment. Many attempts have been made to define the term "artificial intelligence". A machine is able to multiply more than five-digit numbers together. Very impressive. But is that intelligent? Is it not already much more intelligent than us humans? Does intelligence matter? We answer these questions in our blog post.

Patient engagement is becoming increasingly important in modern healthcare, as it contributes significantly to improving treatment outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. One innovative approach to increasing patient engagement is the application of gamification principles. This blog post explores how playful elements and mechanics from the gaming industry can be integrated into medical applications to motivate patients to proactively manage their health.

Obsidian is more than just a note-taking app. It evolves with the user and adapts to their individual needs. This blog post describes my experiences of how Obsidian has helped me to raise the quality, efficiency and satisfaction of my work to a whole new level. Anyone who finds themselves in it can benefit from discovering new ways to be productive and bring more structure to their everyday life.

Projects are often faced with numerous challenges, but sometimes these go far beyond the usual and jeopardise the entire project. This is where the implementation of a "task force" can be the key to success. In my blog post, you can find out how these specialised teams use their agile expertise and professional diversity to overcome critical problems and get projects back on track.

Organisations and individuals face the challenge of effectively directing their energy and attention in a world of constant change and uncertainty. The Circle of Influence is a concept that can help you to focus on the things you can really influence, thereby increasing your effectiveness and satisfaction. I explain what this concept is all about in my blog post.

In modern data processing, companies are faced with the challenge of choosing the right database technology for their specific requirements. PostgreSQL and Databricks are two widely used solutions, each with their own strengths. In this blog post, I will highlight the differences between PostgreSQL and Databricks, analyse their respective advantages and disadvantages and give specific use cases that justify a switch to Databricks.

Foundation models are revolutionising the way we perform time series analyses. They are trained on large data sets and offer flexible and scalable solutions for complex predictions and pattern recognition. In my blog post, I introduce foundation models, show advantages and technical details and compare different models with each other.

Most decisions are made under uncertainty. The real world is an intangible system with a high degree of complexity and a multitude of dependencies. But how exactly does making decisions under uncertainty work? This blog post presents three main strands that are used in research for this purpose.

In my blog post, I present strategies for organising and tidying up filing systems. I show how professional organisation methods such as Dan-Sha-Ri or techniques from popular Netflix series can help to bring order to chaotic environments. You'll get step-by-step instructions for tidying, sorting, categorising, packing and labelling. It also discusses how these methods can improve the efficiency and comprehensibility of software systems.

In a distributed software system, data changes always pose a challenge. How is it possible to track the change history of data located in one part of the system in order to synchronise connected data stores in other subsystems? Change Data Capture (CDC) offers an answer to this question. I explain what this is all about in this blog post.
