Nils Löwe
I've been building software for around thirty years. It started with assembler and embedded C; today it's Rails, React and, more and more often, language models. Mostly I build things to find out whether they work.
Right now I'm doing that in three roles:
- Lionizers · Managing director
Custom software for mid-sized German companies.
- SEON · CTO
A cloud platform for alarm monitoring centres.
- FUMP · Founder
A personal CRM for people whose next job comes from their own network.
This is where I write about how I work, how I see everything that's happening with AI, and what I've learned about product development and running companies. More about me

In a remote team the clever stuff usually stays exactly where it was made. That isn't unwillingness. It's friction.
