At the MD DevDays 2026 Developer Slam in Magdeburg, Falko took the stage twice with back-to-back ten-minute talks – both making the same point: AI doesn’t replace thinking, it amplifies it. Think clearly and you go faster; cut corners and you cut them faster too.
“My AI Advisor Is Broken” – why your prompt is no substitute for a spec
Drawing on anonymised scenarios from AI-consulting practice, Falko showed how organisations mistake prompts for strategy and turn ChatGPT into their product owner – a reminder that architecture, specification and governance matter again. The core line: without clear thinking, even the best AI assistant becomes a bullshit generator.
“I’m a DASA Ambassador – and My AI Knows Nothing About Team Roles”
What happens when AI meets agile frameworks and neither the technology nor the people know who actually decides? From his vantage point as a DASA Ambassador and trainer, Falko laid out what goes wrong when you introduce AI into Scrum or SAFe without clarifying roles, accountability and capabilities. The takeaway: AI is not a magical junior developer but a tool in a clearly defined socio-technical system.
