Reboot
Why I’m Restarting This Blog — and Why I Don’t Care About the Rest
I’m restarting this blog because the usual tech noise no longer does anything for me. Tutorials, tips, “best practices” — all of it is just intellectual busywork. In a few years, most of it will be worthless anyway. Anyone who still believes endless how-to articles create relevance is missing the point entirely.
The real reason runs deeper.
Switzerland loves to talk about innovation. In reality, it’s terrified of it. Strong IT projects, serious startups, or bold digital products barely stand a chance here. Not because there’s a lack of talent — but because there’s a lack of backbone.
Investors? Yes, there’s plenty of money. What’s missing are people willing to risk it on real vision. Everything has to be safe, predictable, and profitable from day one. If you want to build something new, you’re expected to prove it already works. A perfect system for cementing stagnation. Nothing fundamental is built that way.
Switzerland is not a startup country. It’s a comfort country. A place where managing is preferred over creating, copying over inventing. Plenty of hypocrisy, plenty of impostors. Risk is treated as a flaw, failure as a personal defect. That’s exactly why so little of real relevance emerges here.
This is a country with money, but without courage. With structures, but without vision. With opportunities on paper — and hard limits in reality.
This blog reboot is not a fresh start in the traditional sense. It’s a rejection. Of empty content, false narratives, and the illusion that you can “just found a startup” here if you adapt enough.
From here on, this isn’t about instructions anymore. It’s about plain talk.
I’m out. Maybe I’ll come back someday. Maybe I won’t.
