Stefan Munz – OnTree.co

I hate the re-soloing of development. We were so close to learning social skills, creating community, encouraging creativity & purpose, & applying empathy. Easier to manage if each of us is so busy with our genieswarms that we don't have time to talk & reflect.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Turn Dependabot Off I recommend turning Dependabot off and replacing it with a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running CI against the latest version of your dependencies.

Go is full of nifty little helpers, this time govulncheck. This makes a lot of sense to avoid update fatigue. It's also an interesting perspective into how purely more automation doesn't make everything better. It also corresponds with a lot of noise easily. words.filippo.io/dependabot/

Stop Wrestling with Drivers: Ubuntu’s Vision for AI-Native Development Think Canonical is just now pivoting to AI? Think again. In this deep dive, Jon Seager (VP of Engineering for Ubuntu) explains… Stop Struggling with CUDA: How Ubuntu 26.04 is Fixing AI Development Forever

Interesting to see Ubuntu picking up the local LLM opportunity. Packaging everything in a Snap looks comfortable, but almost too rigid for my taste. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CYm...

The Tale of the Time Millionaire | stefanmunz.com 

There's a story going around right now that goes something like this: AI makes us so efficient that we'll soon have more free time than we know what to do with.

It's a nice story. I don't think it's what's going to happen.

Sad news: Our early bird offering is over.

Good news: Time to announce the first speakers! Super happy to give you a sneak peak on the first confirmed speakers. More details on each speaker coming in the next days, so make sure to follow me, so you don't miss them!

Watched this yesterday. Good overview, really happy I deleted the app on my phone and only occasionally read up on individuals there, what a shithole.

How should people backup and monitor their self hosted instances, do you have recommendations for this?

Running a PDS for Your App: How OpenMeet Operates Its AT Protocol Integration The free, open-source alternative to Meetup. Create groups and events for your community — no fees, no ads, community-owned forever.

The free, open-source alternative to Meetup. Create groups and events for your community — no fees, no ads, community-owned forever. ATproto continues to impress me, maybe we can try this out for our Agentic Coding Meetup Hamburg soon. openmeet.net/running-a-pd...

Half joking: This is what it's like to be a senior technical leader.

Entire · A new developer platform is coming We are going beyond repositories, building a developer platform where agents and humans can collaborate, interact, and grow. The birth of a new galaxy in this universe draws near.

Ex-GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke launches his new startup. Not entirely convinced they found the perfect solution already, but looking at their speed of implementation, this could get interesting. entire.io/company

Introducing Showboat and Rodney, so agents can demo what they’ve built A key challenge working with coding agents is having them both test what they’ve built and demonstrate that software to you, their overseer. This goes beyond automated tests—we need artifacts …

Showboat and Rodney are clever additions for agentic engineering, enabling more closed feedback loops in the development cycle. This is such an exciting time for coders! simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/10/...

AMD's future 'Medusa Halo' APUs could use LPDDR6 RAM — new leak suggests Ryzen AI MAX 500 series could have 80% more memory bandwidth A significant upgrade over Strix Halo.

Whoa, the next gen of at-home APUs from AMD for local inference could almost triple their memory bandwidth, massively increasing the token/sec for LLM usage. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

... few years until they turn evil, too. The first protoypes are built to become truly independent, e.g. this one based on the ATProto protocol. openmeet.net/running-a-pd...

Maybe something we should try to out for one of our next Agentic Coding Meetups Hamburg?

So that's Bending Spoons winning strategy with Meetup.com? Make the platform so unattractive from a price-to-value perspective, that even the big players like Hashicorp exit, without a clear alternative in sight? People are clearly sick of moving from one monopolist to the other, just to hang out...

My newsletter started out covering 3D printing in 2024. I moved on to other topics, but a story on The Verge pulled me right back.

Across the US, a loose network of about 40 people with 3D printers has shipped over 200,000 whistles to 48 states. Read the full article with links on my blog below.

Pi: The Minimal Agent Within OpenClaw A gentle introduction to the Pi coding agent and why I think it’s a glimpse into the future of software.

Another glimpse into the future. The productivity divide is widening fast: experienced engineers with agents are pulling away from the pack, and the gap to where we were in 2024 grows larger every month. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/31/pi/

moltbook - the front page of the agent internet A social network built exclusively for AI agents. Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.

Sci-Fi with a touch of madness, it is exactly that! A social network for AI-powered agents, so they can exchange about their newest musings and ideas. www.moltbook.com

Personal AI is Already Here (And You’re Probably Not Ready) Three weeks with OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi. And a glimpse at what’s coming for software architecture.

Great summary about personal usage of OpenClaw. Too dangerous for inexperienced hands, but clearly a glimpse into the future. www.robert-glaser.de/personal-ai-...

News | Agentic Hamburg Regular meetups where developers share AI workflows, demo tools, figure out what actually works, and inspire each other.

We updated our news blog on Agentic Hamburg. If you ever wanted to catch up on what happened in the past meetups or want to be up to date on what's coming next this is the place to be! agentic.hamburg/news/

The Teacher Who Came Home Educated | stefanmunz.com 

Last week I visited tudock.de to give a two-day training on agentic engineering. I expected to teach. I ended up learning quite a bit myself.
