Introduction Hanami 2.0 is a productive Ruby framework that quickly supports you in building API applications.

It’s been a busy and rewarding year, both personally and professionally.

As a software architect who has worked in Agile environments for several years, I have seen the benefits of the Agile Manifesto’s emphasis on “people over processes.”

Hanami CI stability I was one of the early adopters of Travis CI, but in more than a decade the service that served so well the Open Source community is not the first class solution that it used to be.

Brief 2020 recap During 2020 due to the pandemic and new job role (software backend architect at Toptal) I had less time to dedicate to Open Source.

Method Overloading is a programming language feature that allows you to define multiple signatures (and implementations) of the same method.

The Hanami team & I, recently announced Hanami::API: a minimal, extremely fast, lightweight Ruby framework for HTTP APIs.

Introducing hanami-cli: a general purpose Command Line Interface (CLI) for Ruby.

One of the most interesting challenges I met during Hanami development is to write isolated integration tests.

It was a rainy Wednesday.

Using global state in software programs, is handy for development, but evil to maintain.

A short story about OOP, interfaces and soft typing Today is the day at the headquarters of Spectacular Foo Ltd.

Going remote is an appealing lifestyle, but without a guidance we can easily get lost.

The monolith is good (at the beginning) The easiest and convenient way to build a complex system is to use message passing.

Last year was great, and 2015 brings new challenges to Lotus.

This has been a great year for Lotus.

Data validation is an important piece in software architecture.

Writing detailed API documentation helps to improve software design.

A year and a half ago I felt frustrated by the state of the art of web development with Ruby.

A few days ago Aaron Patterson wrote a in interesting article about composition vs inheritance with Ruby.

A few years ago, my lead develop of the time, told me: “Beware of the coupling that you’re introducing in your models”.

We are all wrong.

Almost all the Ruby frameworks for the Model layer mix up business logic with database details.

Moore’s law is over.

The missing part of all the Ruby web frameworks is the distinction between views and templates.

MRuby is a lightweight Ruby.

Lotus development is going well.

The beauty of Lotus is the composition of its frameworks.

For me, the first step in the long path of building a web framework was an HTTP router.

I’m pleased to announce Lotus: the Open Source project I’ve conceived, hacked and built during the last year.

As a naive younger man, I have always been disappointed by how many year resolutions have missed in the past.

A few months ago I bought a flash music player for my music blog.

One of the major problem which prevent the migration to Ruby 1.9 is the lack of the porting of ruby-debug.

How many times do you heard you should separate content from behavior?

A couple of days ago I setup this blog with Redis as cache container, thanks to my Ruby gem: redis-store.

About a month ago, we have released adva-cms 0.2.0, the most relevant change was the migration from Prototype to jQuery.
