Enterprise DevEx Leader at Groupe SII, I lead projects around developer experience, tools strategy (IDE, CI/CD, SCM), and digital transformations. I write down what I'm learning so it's a pleasure to share it!
When AI agents write code autonomously, specifications are no longer a luxury reserved for large teams — they're the only guard against silent architectural drift.
The time AI agents save, most teams pour straight back into more features. The real dividend is elsewhere: finally paying for the test coverage, dependency hygiene and security you used to cut under pressure.
Mixed reputation, seductive premise: Follow the Sun has rarely worked at scale. Larian Studios pulled it off on BG3 across seven studios and three continents. What held wasn't the timezone schedule; it was the collaboration infrastructure.
The 9 Object Calisthenics rules, eroded by sprint pressure, become a machine contract in GitHub Copilot and Claude Code custom instructions. What that changes.
64% of organisations adopted GitOps in 2024 (CNCF). Git Flow, GitOps, GitHub Enterprise: why source control is an organisational architecture decision.
LLMs, CLIs, agents, skills: three generations of tools in just a few years. What Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI concretely change for engineering teams — and for whom.
A Rust CLI proxy that compresses shell output before it reaches the LLM context. Result: 80% fewer tokens consumed on a typical 30-minute session.
Dev Containers are near-worthless on a solo project and structurally essential on an open codebase. A Bitwarden contribution changed my mind about them in under an hour.
A six-month retrospective on using Dokploy as my sole deployment tool for personal projects on a Hetzner VPS. What shines, what bites, and why I'm not going back.
A well-thought-out IDE strategy doesn't constrain developers: it frees them. Field experience on what it concretely changes.
