My proposal for this years SHOT conference in Luxembourg was accepted! I contribute to the "Code Histories" session with a talk about my #BASIC research project.

Auf dem Weg an die #Dhd2025 in Bielefeld. Morgen geb ich einen Workshop zusammen mit Vera Piontkowitz, @stefanhoeltgen und Daniel Gammenthaler. Thema: Forschung an Quellcode in den Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften.

Ein wenig nervös bin ich schon. Das Material präsentiere und diskutiere ich in dieser Form das erste Mal. Ich freu mich aber auch fest auf diesen Austausch und all die tollen Begegnungen die ich diese Woche haben werde.

Today I had an all-day seminar about "Code Critic" at MeWi Uni Bonn. I organized the talks of the students as a symposium. The last talk was about the #GOTO controversy that started in the end of the 1960s with a rant from Edsger W. #Dijkstra and lasts until today. The student's talk ended with a self-made meme.

In the winter term 2024/25 I am teaching at the universities in Halle and Bonn:

love reading code. love to read my coworker's code and, being familiar with their personality and coding style, to imagine exactly what they were thinking as they worked through the problem. and the idea of reading a stranger's code—to be able to get to know someone a little from how they have written this piece of code! how intimate, how rich and human

Almost two decades ago, Critical Code Studies (CCS) posed the intriguing question: "What do we discover when we read code with the interpretive tools of the humanities?"
This collection of articles delves into its cultural object nature, fostering discussions on techno-culture.
