Vibe coding feels like having ADHD and 20 minions

There is a moment, somewhere around the third hour, when you realize you have mass-produced an entire ecosystem and you are no longer sure what half of it does.

It started with a small thing. A script, maybe. A helper tool. Something you could describe in two sentences. And then the machine responded, and it was good, and your brain lit up like a pinball machine. So you asked for more. And more. And suddenly you are not building one thing anymore, you are conducting an orchestra of twenty invisible workers who are all extremely eager to please and not one of them will ever tell you to slow down.

A Cybersecure Christmas

The servers hum softly this cold Christmas night, while alerts blink like stars in a dashboard of light. A consultant leans back, takes a sip of his tea, and hopes every control maps to NIST, ISO, NIS2-cleanly.

Was it really better before, or why us old geeks think so

Those of us who have been in IT for a while often say it was better before. Not because we miss floppy disks or Windows 3.1, but because we see a fundamental difference in how knowledge was built and used. We had to learn the basics in a way that created deep understanding. That kind of understanding risks being lost in a time when AI, automation, and abstraction allow people to jump straight to the result.

When You Choose to "Snälltolka", You're Deciding What Deserves Your Energy

Most conflicts start in the space between what someone did and what we think they meant. Our brains fill blanks with worst-case motives. That reflex kept our ancestors alive. Today it drains us.

"Snälltolka" breaks that loop. It's a Swedish word that means interpreting someone's actions generously. Not blind trust. Not naivety. Just choosing not to build hostile narratives without evidence.

When love makes you wonder about the weight it carries

I was writing about how good we have it. A simple reflection. Nothing more. Then the thought turned inward and landed somewhere I didn’t expect. I started questioning whether the love I give my kids also makes life harder for them. Not because love is wrong. Not because I doubt it. But because their path will never look like the one I grew up imagining.

When consulting lost its meaning

Sometimes I wonder when it happened. When consulting stopped being about solving problems and turned into selling time. When curiosity was replaced by sales targets. When advice became product. When relationships became strategy. Somewhere along the way, the craft disappeared.

It shows everywhere. Meetings filled with talk about rates, not value. Decks that promise more than they understand. Sales cultures hiding behind words like partnership, transformation, and innovation. The reality is simpler: it is not partnership, it is expansion. One consultant earns trust, and then more arrive. Not because the customer needs them, but because the model demands it. The more consultants in the room, the better the quarter looks.

What happens when pride and ideology stand in the way of progress and learning from history?

We like to think history teaches us. That every mistake leaves a mark deep enough to make us wiser next time. But I’m starting to doubt that. Watching the world today, in politics, in business, and in our own lives, I see the same pattern repeating: pride blocks learning, ideology blinds reason, and ego drives us toward collapse. This isn’t a rant. It’s an observation. Maybe even a confession. Because I see it everywhere, in leaders, in companies and in myself.

Don’t alienate your coworkers even if they are wrong

Disagreements at work are inevitable. You and your coworkers see things differently because you come from different backgrounds, have different experiences, and operate in different areas of expertise. That diversity is what makes a team valuable. But it also creates friction. At some point, someone will be wrong—factually, logically, or practically. The real question is not whether you correct them. The real question is how you do it.
