hello again!

hey, it’s me nicolai!

i’ve set up this newsletter two years ago as part of the cosmo ai days. maybe you still remember me!

i’m working on a lot of cool stuff right now: still the cosma chat bot (which is getting a major update soon, stay tuned), a lot of new apex innovation projects, like easy time tracking to automate booking hours, some projects with our ai customers at the ai center of excellence and i’ve taken up writing again.

i just wanted to send you all this mail to give you an update of what you can expect:

• long form insights from my work. i have a long post on draft of how i accidentally spent 20.000€ on azure, what led me there and what i did in the moment of anxiety and what i did to fix it

• in irregular intervals, i’m also attending some public events and will share my takeaways. don’t worry, not the regular headlines-only “insights”, but some counter-intuitive things of how i see the world. check out my post on an event with vercel cto malte ubl https://newsletter.nicolaischmid.de/p/fireside

• a segment i call two minute tactics: some small insight into leadership, software engineering, communication and other fields, that you can directly apply two your own life and work in just two minutes. (the trick is to do it every day for two minutes!). check out this one on simplifying: https://newsletter.nicolaischmid.de/p/simplify-two-minute-tactics

• something i haven’t thought through: together with my partner, i have a real estate investment business. we’re already cashflow positive for our properties in berlin/friedrichshain. i might start talking about the details that make it work and how you can replicate it.

if any of those sound interesting to you, please stay subscribed! i’m happy that you’re here!
