Vorschlag: Wir ersetzen alle #KI löst jetzt alles“-Konferenzen durch einen gemeinsamen Nachmittag, an dem wir erstmal Apps wie die #Bahn-App, mobile Betriebssysteme und andere täglich genutzte #Software reparieren.
Danach reden wir über die #Zukunft.
Was wäre euer erster Kandidat für: Bitte einmal mit gesundem Menschenverstand neu bauen?

Portable 40mm launcher kills drones by firing 6.5-feet-long steel chains at 80 m/s — German researchers' low-tech mechanical 'bola' outshines textile drops quadcopters without lasers or EMPs
The concept draws on the same physics as the bola, a weighted throwing weapon used for centuries by South American herders.

I frequently see this pop up and I chuckle:
A #SQA person walks into a bar and orders:
- a pint of beer
- 2 pints of beer
- 0 pints of beer
- 999999999 pints of beer
- a lizard
- -1 pints of beer
- qwertyuip pints of beer
The first real customer walks into the bar and asks where the restrooom is. The bar bursts into flames and everyone dies.
What other “walks into a bar” #software #testcases are we missing? #qa #development

- customer asks “Ein Bier bitte.”
- the bar has not been initiatlized
- two customers walk into the bar in quick succession. Then four thousand customers walk into the bar all at once.
- a blind customer literally walks into the bar and bangs their knee; asks what beers are on tap because the color scheme for the menu has insufficient contrast

I just realized that the classic Hollywood trope with a hacker in front of a computer with multiple windows with code being written inhumanly quickly to the screen character by character has become reality thanks to AI coding agents

I wonder if there's a software business model where you buy the software for the binary and the source code? The source code is not exactly open, but is available on that specific version. I'm also wondering how that would work for the software supply chain. 🤔
