Breaking: Der #Endenergieverbrauch #EEV ist 2024 zum ersten Mal nach 3 Jahren wieder minimal (0,15%) gestiegen. Die Lücke zum Zielfpad vergrößerte sich damit auf 9% (2023: 7%)!
Verantwortlich ist v.a. der gestiegene Verbrauch in der #Industrie: +2,5% (Was allerdings nicht mit gestiegener #Wertschöpfung oder #Energieproduktivität einhergeht!).
Der EEV des #GHD-Sektors stieg minimal um 0,5% ggü. 2023
Der EEV der #Haushalte dagegen sank sogar weiter minimal (-0,2%): #Effizienz- und #Suffizienz-Maßnahmen scheinen weiterhin Wirkung zu entfalten (!)
#Energieeffizienz wirkt weiter, wie besonders im #Strombereich deutlich wird: Ohne #Energieeffizienz läge der #Stromverbrauch 1/3 höher. Der #erneuerbare-Anteil daran wäre mit 41% anstatt 54% (2024) deutlich niedriger!!!!

Klar ist: der Handlungsbedarf für die #Effizienzwende wird größer. Jetzt ist keine Zeit, #EnEfG- u.a. Vorgaben einzudampfen. Im Gegenteil: Jetzt Instrumente nachschärfen, verstetigen und neue Instrumente für #EnergieverbrauchRunter auf die Spur bringen!!! z.B.:
#Suffizienz-Programm
mehr Verbindlichkeit in der #Wirtschaft Fortschreibung Ziele bis #2040
Bessere #Sanierungsstandards #Effizienzstandards für #Gebäude (Neubau + Bestand)
u.v.m...

Decluttered my closet - donated a bag of clothes I never wear anymore. Feeling lighter already (literally & figuratively)! #minimalism #lessismore

Visual effects like #MotionBlur, #ChromaticAberration, #FilmGrain, and #Vignette are often overused.

While they can add style, they frequently reduce clarity and distract from the content.

- Motion blur can make scenes feel messy or sluggish.
- Chromatic aberration often looks artificial and strains the eyes.
- Film grain hides detail and can feel like low-quality noise.
- Vignettes overly direct attention and shrink visual space.

#Devs Use them with care — less is usually more.

We've learned that complexity often masks poor planning. The most elegant solutions usually involve fewer parts, not more. Clean lines and simple execution often win over elaborate complications.

Tag someone who always finds the simple solution to complex problems. These builders see through the clutter.

When did a simple solution surprise you? Sometimes stepping back reveals the obvious answer.

Thinking our relation to the environment...

One can enjoy a pool without inflatables, which occupy precious space, disturb others, and are crafted from non-biodegradable plastics that damage the environment.

Ever wondered how architect Mies van der Rohe's "less is more" philosophy would translate to web design?

We explored the concept of a website inspired by his iconic style: strong grids, clean lines, and purposeful minimalism. The result is a masterclass in structure and clarity.

Here it comes: Noch keine 2 Monate im Amt, da haben wir ihn: Den #Fossillobbyismus der #Blackrot #KleiKo. Presented by Ihrer #Gasministerin #Reiche @bmwk!

Der #KlimaTransformationsFonds finanziert demnächst die #Gasspeicherumlage für Gasverbraucher aka macht #Gasverbrauch billiger. #DankeFürNichts! #FossilLobyy

Der #MdB #CarstenMüller @cdu hat Recht! Ohne #Energieeffizienz scheitert die #Energiewende. Der angekündigte #Realitätscheck muss einen Booster für die zentrale Säule der Energiewende ergeben. Jetzt muss er das nur noch seiner #Gasministerin, äh: #Wirtschaftsministerin #Reiche @BMWK und ihrem "Mordor der Energiewende" Abteilungsleiterin #vonAhlefeldt nahe bringen.... Danke an den #BackgroundTagesspiegel für den Schnipsel...

That moment you realize "less is more" isn't just a cliché. Letting go of the need to justify everything. Trusting them to just... get it. says Jefferson in “The Next Conversation”

Before: 47 Dependabot PRs clogging my repo

After: 3 meaningful updates per week

The secret? One .github/dependabot.yml config to ignore patch updates while keeping security fixes.

We respect builders who can look at a bike and identify exactly what doesn't need to be there. True bobber culture was built on removing the unnecessary and focusing on the essentials.
Save this for inspiration on your next minimalist build. Sometimes subtraction creates the biggest impact.

What's the first thing you remove when building a bobber? Let's see if we all follow the same path.

Stop rewarding complexity.
Start noticing what could be removed.
Simplicity makes systems stronger. And simpler is almost always harder.

What if removing some structure led to better outcomes?

A curious inversion, I agree. But that’s the charm of the Headstand Strategy, flip the premise, reveal the problem.

We speak of agility as freedom, yet wrap our teams in rituals: OKRs, alignment meetings, performance dialogues, endless standups, grooming, planning, retros. Conversations about conversations. Calendars filled with the idea of progress. The actual work? Squeezed between context switches and corporate theatre. I totally get the idea, but the side effects are ignored.

You're already saturated with management frameworks. Now imagine holding a developer role, expected to contribute meaningfully while navigating that same maze. The room to breathe, to create, to care about the product… vanishes.

And then comes the lament: Why is no one passionate anymore?
Perhaps because passion requires space.
Thinking needs silence.
Excellence isn't summoned in overbooked sprints.

More oversight doesn't mean more output.
More process doesn’t mean more progress.
If everything is a priority, nothing is.
And if every hour is scheduled, don't expect spontaneous brilliance.

As a wise colleague once said:
"I'm exhausted by alignment, OKRs, and performance talk. I just want to build something great and support your product with my knowledge. Let me."

So before you launch the next initiative, consider:
Are you enabling growth and skills, or just optimizing for control?
