📡 Tech Radar 2025

publiziert am 01. 10. 2025 um 10:00

📡 Every Year on January 1st I open a blog post that will be updated throughout the year: this is my personal TechRadar whit Tools, Trends, Techniques and Platforms I stumble upon during the year and think are worth a look. It has no particular order, it has no rank nor is it complete. It is just a list of things I want to keep in mind. Every Januar I start a new List. This is the 2025 edition.
🤖 This edition is fully generated by ChatGPT Deep Research Mode based on a dump-bookmark List in Safari where I collect my noteworthy technologies.

Remark: of course, this Radar is just a dump of interesting stuff I want to follow - not a Radar that mirrors the tools I use in my daily work - this would be another representation that I still work on.
