Ist Programmieren jetzt nur noch eine Frage der Einstellung?

In nur drei Stunden haben wir heute eine Grenze eingerissen, die jahrelang als unüberwindbar galt. Gemeinsam mit Matthias Herbert und dem Verlag Dashöfer GmbH haben wir gezeigt: Wer ein Problem versteht, kann es heute auch lösen - ohne eine einzige Zeile Code selbst zu schreiben.

Das Experiment: Von Null zur App in 180 Minuten 
Das Besondere an diesem Seminar? Kein einziger Teilnehmer hatte einen Software-Hintergrund. Dennoch haben alle innerhalb der kurzen Zeit eine eigene, funktionierende App gebaut. Der Schlüssel war «Vibe Coding» über das Google AI Studio. Da die Hürden bei der Einrichtung und Bezahlung dort aktuell am niedrigsten sind, konnten wir uns sofort auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren: Die Idee.

Was in drei Stunden entstanden ist: 
Die Bandbreite der entwickelten Lösungen war beeindruckend und zeigt, wie individuell KI eingesetzt werden kann:
- Ein Magic Meme Creator für schnelles Content-Marketing.
- Ein automatisiertes Tool zur Erstellung von Briefing-Dokumenten für Kunden.
- Ein smarter Planer für Fussball-Trainingseinheiten.
- Ein effizienter Projekt- und Ressourcenplaner für den Business-Alltag.

Warum die Technik nebensächlich, aber das Handwerk essenziell ist 
Man könnte meinen, Software-Architektur sei nun hinfällig. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Vibe Coding nimmt uns das Tippen ab, aber nicht das Denken.

Was wir heute im Seminar massiv gespürt haben: Die Qualität der App steht und fällt mit der Business-Analyse und dem Requirements Engineering. Wer seine Kunden nicht versteht und Anforderungen nicht präzise definieren kann, dem hilft auch die beste KI nicht.

Im Product Management Lifecycle verschieben sich die Gewichte:
1. Das Kundenverständnis wird zur absoluten Kernkompetenz.
2. Die Fähigkeit, Geschäftsprozesse tiefgehend zu analysieren, entscheidet über den Erfolg.
3. Professionelle Software-Architekten werden wichtiger denn je, um diese schnellen Prototypen in sichere, skalierbare Enterprise-Lösungen zu überführen.

Die Zukunft des Product Managements 
Wir verlassen die Zeit, in der man Wochen auf einen Prototypen warten musste. Product Manager werden zu aktiven Schöpfern. Matthias Herbert und ich sind fasziniert davon, wie schnell aus einer vagen Vorstellung ein echtes Werkzeug werden kann, wenn man die Methoden des klassischen Requirements Engineerings mit der Geschwindigkeit von generativer KI kombiniert.

ie Barriere zwischen Idee und Ausführung ist weg. Jetzt kommt es darauf an, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen.

The LinkedIn AI bubble is a distortion of reality.

If you spend ten minutes scrolling, you’d think the entire world has already automated their lives. But this chart is the reality check we need.

The global adoption of AI isn't as deep or as sophisticated as your feed suggests.

Look at the numbers: Out of 8.1 billion people, ~84% have never interacted with AI. And for the 16% who have? The "adoption" often stops at the surface level.

In our trainings at Obvious Works, we see a recurring, dangerous pattern: People are using AI as a glorified Google. They prompt, they get an answer, and they stop thinking. They trust the output blindly without applying the critical oversight required for high-quality product development.

The tech is moving at warp speed, but our mental models are lagging.

This is why my mission is two-fold:
⦿ Professional: At Obvious Works, we help teams integrate AI across the entire product lifecycle. From requirements to implementation - without losing the "human in the loop."
⦿ Personal: As an extended board member at swissAI, I’m committed to enabling people to use these tools effectively in their private lives. Moving from "blind trust" to genuine empowerment.

AI shouldn't be a reason to outsource your brain. It should be a catalyst to think deeper.

We aren't "late" to the AI era. We are just at the stage where we need to learn how to actually use the tools we’ve been given, before we forget how to build things ourselves.

How many people in your circle are using AI as a "thinking partner" versus just a "faster search engine"?

Are you struggling to find a cleaning help that meets your high standards? If you live in the triangle between Zurich, Zug & Horgen/Wädenswil, I might be able to help you.

When I thought about what company to start next, I realized a common problem was right in front of me: Having two small kids, and me and my husband working full time, we couldn’t find a cleaning service that met my high standards. 

They wouldn’t tidy toys, clean windows, or go beyond surface cleaning, while all I wanted was one monthly bill for a spotless home every week.

As I always loved cleaning and standardizing processes, I saw a chance to combine those two.

I read thousands of pages of books about natural cleaning, watched hours and hours of YouTube videos, and developed a system for cleaning fast but thoroughly. 

I still smile looking back at the time I tested everything in my own home - it was probably the cleanest it’s ever been!

Fast forward to today, I run my own cleaning business for high-quality home cleanings (office cleanings will follow in a few months). At Mrs. Fox Cleaning, we don’t just clean - we bring peace of mind to your household.

Tell us what you need, and we’ll make it happen.

Deep and regular cleaning
Tidying and organizing
Eco-friendly products
Specialized cleaning
Meal preparation


If you’re looking for the cheapest household help, we’re not the service you’re after. However, if exceptional service and peace of mind are worth it to you, we’d love to help.

When I'm not busy caring for other people’s homes, I’m investing in female-led startups to do my part in closing the funding gap between male- and female-founded startups through my firm, Pink Fox Ventures GmbH.

And I’m raising my four and five-year-old.

So, while juggling entrepreneurship, angel investing, and parenting…

…I also want to get to know you!

Yes, that’s right, you.

If you’ve read this far, but we haven’t connected yet, I’d be happy to have you in my network.

…

What are you waiting for?
