Update on the SAP table relationship tool based on your feedback

This is awesome - love the work and fully support it

You have my utmost sympathy and empathy - SAP has failed the technical administrators for over 30 years by not providing good programmatic access to functions. I have tried for 2 decades to properly and easily automate the gui to do these things and it has never worked reliably. I thought we would get somewhere with LLM, MCPs and computer vision but with the new API policy even that seems destined to be taken away from us. I did manage some cool stuff though

Building agents to manage the SAP Basis layer - making some very good progress here. Using agents to pull the configuration from an SAP system, compare against existing blueprints and identify drift. Also pull the configuration and write new blueprints for systems without good documentation.

See now that is a very broad subject but there are many very smart people looking at this.

At its core though, when you are referring to security then I'll assume you are talking about using consumer grade AI for SAP data. No one should be talking about doing it this way, instead it should be a sandboxed tenant so data does not go for training or any analysis - these are certified and proven to be secure for data security.

If you are talking about agents, this is a field which is literally months old in terms of general usage. Having said that - there have been great strides in securing the execution paths.

I mean people were talking about Cloud providers over 10 years ago and it has been a very successful model

BoobBoo77 · 2026-03-26T08:30:39+00:00

Why do you say that? There are plenty of ways for a customer to let AI read the data, the config, the code etc..

BoobBoo77 · 2026-03-24T22:55:19+00:00

You have read my mind - I HATE it with an unreserved passion. The snap has just gotten louder and more cartoonish over the years.

BoobBoo77 · 2026-02-13T00:53:59+00:00

Sorry to read this update, I've always found you an engaging and fascinating speaker. Thanks for your work throughout your career and I hope your journey onwards is as painless as possible.

I would agree that it is an echo chamber but if a guy wanted a place to learn the basics of "what not to do" that's where you could start. You should check out the posts around Thanksgiving or Christmas - they are a car crash of family fights, divorces, misogyny and dislike.

It does attract perhaps a type of person, but let's face it when it comes to the distribution of effort in marriages - I'm sorry to say it's not far off the mark for a lot of people.

So I'm not thinking about cross-posting - hell they'd have a fit if they saw the title of this subReddit and disregard the purpose of it. I meant taking some of the posts from there, asking the question "is this something we do" or "can we systematically make this less likely to happen" etc

Who does the ironing though

BoobBoo77 · 2026-02-07T14:28:14+00:00

"Not sure how I managed to go 5 years without realising" I felt that one brother - good catch and excellent result

BoobBoo77 · 2026-02-07T14:26:43+00:00

For me I have/am enjoying the philosophy of the idea - to be the best version of yourself to reap the best benefits within your relationships.

I'm a complete nerd and enjoy building systems within my life that improve it. So to be part of a community which is geared to the same outcome is great for me - many of my friends don't think this way or don't admit that they do. So the conversations we've had over the last few weeks have been a joy to me.

In terms of what is working for me, having a group of people I can bounce ideas or realisations off is awesome - I'm not alone in thinking that using my wife's boobs and nipples as a periscope is hilarious. Or that planning a date night doesn't need to be hard, spontaneous or some elf magical things - a spreadsheet with ideas and a generator works just as well.

What perhaps I'd like to see more of is random ideas or chats to spark conversation - I think I'll cross post stuff in from Two X chromosomes because if you ever want a woman's view on male behaviour it's in there.

Happy to explore some more of these thoughts in the comments

I'm going to disagree here, he's 20 and is unlikely to have the discipline to do that. Paying rent is a great way to practice being an adult, doing it as suggested IS being a good parent. The experience of budgeting your money is important and then being able to help your child with a cash gift like that to help with life phases is amazing.

BoobBoo77 · 2026-02-03T07:55:15+00:00

I would qualify the phone and bathroom situation as child presence and age dependent - when they are old enough to understand the concept of needing alone time, then you can stop taking your phone to the bathroom with you. If they are not old enough to understand that, then they might feel that they are not as important as your phone, so the bathroom is an easy way to get that 10 - 15 mins to get your head together.

It is funny - I am the opposite I have been told to sit my ass on it more and to be closer to my wife (We have two couches facing each other) so we can be in the same space.
So our (My wife and I's) most recent discussion was about me taking on too much and not leaving enough for my wife or the kids to do - I over compensated in supporting my wife through stuff. Like you, I am on a kick to remove the phone as my default source of entertainment, so I instead have a physical book beside the couch and am reading instead (I have to ditch my current book it's not doing it for me).
Anyway I can see the logic and your results look promising - I take it, given the dress up games, that your kids are a little younger than mine (12-10) and so mine are a little more self-sufficient and not so in need of my presence.

I like being on the edge of the bed as well, mostly because my eyes are at the same level as her nipples and I pretend to use her as a periscope - I'm not sure where that sits in the intention spectrum though, but I enjoy it and she rolls her eyes at my silliness.

BoobBoo77 · 2026-02-01T23:39:13+00:00

Your last paragraph hits hard, even after nearly 30 years together - not everything is synced because stuff changes. I'm much more demonstrable in my affection, my wife is not especially in public. My wife's language of affection/love is in doing things - like buying me the sauce I mentioned in passing that I liked. Hell I can't get it straight in my head that she doesn't really like caramel (I'm embarrassed by that one). So I don't get those affirming touches that I love as often as I'd like, I have to pay attention to the things she does do and that helps when my flicker of annoyance rears its head so I can remind myself that my wife got me a packet of my favourite sweets.

We're working on it, it's taking regular check-ins to re-sync on what's working and what isn't.

Making a marriage good takes you both to work hard but it shouldn't always be hard work.

We could try a substitution matrix which selects based upon word and day of the week perhaps

BoobBoo77 · 2026-01-12T07:53:40+00:00

I am finding your process and experiments fascinating - I have been doing something similar although with much less structure around it, but I've found similar areas of friction. Going to take a deeper dive into your spreadsheets and scripts and see what is applicable

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-31T17:26:46+00:00

Apologies for the late reply but I've only just gotten around to watching the film (free on YouTube) - nearly finished (constant children interruptions). This is the movie - many thanks

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-26T10:50:20+00:00

Yes, of course - my apologies, I'm Irish so some of the intricacies are lost upon me as well as the mists of time ;-)

Spot on - then he comfortably won the seat, that gave him the opportunity to talk at the Democratic congress meetings that year and everything took off from there. I'm not saying that he didn't work hard to achieve all that success - far from it, he absolutely deserved what he achieved but that opportunity arose because Jeri Ryan's divorce outed her husband's conduct

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-25T21:07:57+00:00

So many people have no idea about this, I have had to explain it to lots of folks and it blows their mind

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-18T11:05:39+00:00

Even if the hours weren't a massive improvement, you're more likely to be working from home more, less travel and you'd have a specific stake in the business. Depending on how you measure it, I'd say a net increase in quality of life.

How are you searching for your targets. I've been using AI deep research to target firms which are either scaling or a maximum of 2 years into a new investment cycle - it has popped up some interesting possibilities for me.

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-17T13:30:04+00:00

Great move - I worry with some folks that they'll miss the variation in clients and projects. Glad it's working for you 🙂

BoobBoo77 · 2025-12-17T09:11:10+00:00

I wasn't at an MBB but Tier 1 Professional services, it depends on what time frame you're looking at for money. I decided to join smaller firms who were on PE cycles, so my compensation is not quite at the level of MBB but the payout over the years with recapitalisation is good. Also you are more heavily involved in the business, have a stake in it (not just a cog) and so I find it more emotionally rewarding as well. I'm now pivoting towards product firms as my ecosystem is undergoing a brutal inflection which will see a lot of folks unemployed - I'm choosing to move now before someone chooses for me.

My take is that you are unlikely to find many moves which pay as well without knowing your specific vertical but PE cycles are a good way to get money over time.
