Der Markt für Aufträge für IT Berater wird ganz wesentlich von so genannten Vermittlern dominiert - Unternehmen, die als Mittelsmänner zwischen Dienstleistern und Kunden fungieren. Die Gründe dafür sind vielfältig, haben unter anderem mit dem deutschen Gesetz zur "Scheinselbständigkeit", aber auch mit der unzureichenden Positionierung vieler IT Freiberufler am Markt zu tun. In letzter Zeit häufen sich kuriose Auftragsanfragen einiger dieser Vermittler: In der Projekt-Ausschreibung wird zunächst eindeutig nach Freiberuflern gesucht. Kommt es dann im weiteren Verlauf zu einem Telefongespräch mit dem ...

How to succeed in business as an introvert

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.In this article entrepreneur Michael Shreeve provides an interesting "Introvert’s Guide To Success In Business".

Cameron Herold: Let’s raise kids to be entrepreneurs

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.In this fast-paced TED talk entrepreneur Cameron Herold talks about why kids should be raised to be entrepreneurs instead of being lawyers or accountants.

Open-sourcing some of my project code: Freshcard and MemoEasy

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Modern web development and software development in general for that matter wouldn't be possible without FOSS: free open source software. Whether it's web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, frontend frameworks like AngularJS or enterprise toolkits as for instance Spring, open source software is the solid foundation most modern software is built upon. It's quite likely the technology-fuelled growth we've seen for the last decades wouldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for open ...

Let’s adore and endure each other

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Earlier this year I walked along Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch and saw this - by now pretty much iconic - mural / piece of street art painted on the walls of Village Underground (right underneath a decommissioned Tube car that's sitting right on top of the roof ...): "Let's adore and endure each other", that sure is a wonderful motto to live by, not only if you're living in a bustling multicultural metropolis such ...

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Earlier this year at beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2015 I had the privilege to attend a talk by Petro Salema. Petro shared his insights about today's limits in human computer interaction, attention span, mental bandwidth and how to address these issues. While the subject matter itself is interesting enough already I've never personally witnessed such rivetting storytelling before. He started his talk with a captivating story from his home country Tanzania about Bwakila, a machete-wielding madmen. This ...
