Agile & Coding

"Do I still know how to code?"

I'm the maintainer of the Python tools for the Polylith Architecture, that adds useful tooling support for teams having their code organized according to the Polylith Architecture.

As many developers today, I'm using agents on a daily basis for software development.

"Software Architecture in the agentic era?"

With Agentic Engineering there's an opportunity to refactor legacy code, but this aspect of AI isn't that that much talked about and seems to be overlooked by teams out there.

Continuing with the work on tooling support for interactive & fun development with Python.

FOSDEM, a Conference different from any other I've been to before.

"All you need is list, set and dict" Write HTML with Python Python Hiccup is a library for representing HTML using plain Python data structures.

"Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications."

But who is Luke and who is R2?

An aspect of Python Software Development that is often overlooked, is Architecture (or Design) at the namespace, modules & functions level.

What's in a code repository?

🎉 Announcing new features 🎉 Polylith is about keeping Monorepos Simple & Developer-friendly.

A couple of days ago, a nice thing happened that has made me very happy.

When developing software, I spend most of the time thinking & talking about the problems to solve: the what, the why and the how.

How can we simplify things, to add value as early as possible?

This article isn't about Franz Kafka or his great novella The Metamorphosis, where the main character one day realizes that he has transformed into a Human-size Bug.
