On 28.08.2025 I held my talk „Thoughts on (Modern?) Software Development – Observations From a 20-Year Journey” at the Scrum Masters HH Meetup (remote and in German).
The talk’s sources can be found here, the Meetup event page here:

In the ensuing Q&A session some additional sources were mentioned:
- Talk by „Richard Sheridan“ related to „Joy, Inc.“ + thread about the book
- Tom DeMarco & Timothy Lister in „Peopleware“ (re-visited): „The High-Tech Illusion“
- Robert C. Martin in „Clean Agile“: The XP „Circle Of Life“ (possibly the „better“ Scrum by Kent Beck)
- Uwe Friedrichsen: „Thoughts on AI and Software Development“ (very good analysis about the state of things in AI in the year of 2025)
- Baldur Bjarnason: „The Intelligence Illusion“
- Baldur Bjarnason: „Out of the Software Crisis“
- Yuval Noah Harari: „Nexus“ and his TED interview
- Joseph Weizenbaum documentation: „Plug & Pray“
- Alex’s „featured hashtags“
