It was a transition, but I wouldn't say it was that difficult. It helped that coming back meant working from home. Three more weeks and then it's back to regular programming. Just in time for the kids to be back in school. I do wish it were longer. I feel I have a bit more… Continue reading Ah, the first work week finally over.
Your house
Why is a house shaped the way it is? Have you ever thought about it? In the middle you have the peak, and that's where you are. The peak is where all the things about you live; it's where you shine. It's where your passions live, the things you enjoy the most. Work on those,… Continue reading Your house
I’ve been trying to optimize my writing workflow for a while now.
Initially I just added an auto-import to my PC because I didn't want to rely on Freewrite's cloud platform. Maybe there are things I'd rather keep private. I wanted the flexibility of a fully offline sync and storage of all my writing. I do keep a public blog though, so I added tags. If a… Continue reading I’ve been trying to optimize my writing workflow for a while now.
Kraftskiva: songs for your crayfish party
Every August in Sweden there is a moment where everyone around the table suddenly knows a song and you do not. It is crayfish season, the little red things are piled up, someone lifts a shot of something strong, and the whole party breaks into a snapsvisa you have never heard in your life. The… Continue reading Kraftskiva: songs for your crayfish party
Event Modeling for the 95%
The question that framed my whole week was not mine. It was the title of the day two keynote: how do we bring event modeling to the 95%? Allard Buijze from AxonIQ put it on the screen, and it kept coming back around after that during side chats that happened around the conference. The room… Continue reading Event Modeling for the 95%
The Developer’s Job Just Changed
I was at an event modeling conference last week, and over lunch the conversation kept drifting to the same place: how work life is going to be disrupted by AI. Everyone in that room builds software for a living, so it was not an abstract worry. It was the "what happens to us" kind. Here… Continue reading The Developer’s Job Just Changed
I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from technical blogging for a while, for a couple of reasons:
1. Full speed ahead at a client, implementing key features of an event-sourced system that we'd been modeling for some time now. 2. Spending max mental energy at work and then doing the same with the side projects had started taking a toll on me physically. 3. One of my pet projects actually launched into… Continue reading I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from technical blogging for a while, for a couple of reasons:
Claude as a Learning Tool
Cooked up a little claude slash command called /teachme for a repo I just made public. It's a 9-step guided walkthrough of the codebase. The agent opens the relevant files, points at the lines that matter, quizzes me between steps, and waits for me to actually engage before moving on.The repo is CartShop, a small… Continue reading Claude as a Learning Tool
A little help goes a long way
Every term, there's a set of parents in charge of fundraising activities for the class to save up for a school trip. It can be anything from bake sales to selling stuff like candles, cookies, and many other things. My son is now 14, and they're at the age where they probably think it's not… Continue reading A little help goes a long way
Agents building Swishlist
The workflow is definitely becoming better and better. When I asked claude to do the plan for building out swishlist, this is what it came up with and started I then reminded it that since we're building vertical slices with event sourcing, it doesn't actually need to wait on previous features to be done before… Continue reading Agents building Swishlist
