TL;DR: Vibe coding is great for PoCs and miserable for real projects. I had Claude write 55,000 lines of code for me in about eight weeks and learned that skills and claude.md are not sufficient. At the bottom of this post there’s a plugin that packages the method I developed. It gives traceable, fully documented […]
Next Level Vibe Coding
Specification-First Agentic Development optimizes working with coding agents via treating specifications as the main artifact. Coding agents forget, misinterpret, and lose context. While CLAUDE.md combined with skills improve the behavior, it is not sufficient. TL;DR When wanting to keep track about feature implementation with any AI as an assistent, have a look at the github […]
The Why Never Gets Written Down: Solving context drift in AI-assisted coding
I like to have it clean. Most of the programs I’ve written in the younger past are pretty well structured. Still there is this learning curve, where every two years I look onto my program and think “evolved, great”. Stagnation is dead. But the code is well structured, follows the “right” rules, whatever that means. […]
Can You Defend Your AI’s Decisions?
Why Multi-Agent Systems Must Be Sequential in Agent Smith. Most multi-agent demos look impressive. Five agents discussing a problem, contradicting each other, refining ideas, eventually converging on a solution. It feels like watching a real engineering team at work. But it isn’t. Imagine a development team working like this. It’s a room where everyone talks […]
Agent Smith: Open Source Agent That Turns Tickets into Pull Requests
Agent Smith is an open source AI coding agent. Using Agent Smith is easy: Configure Agent Smith for accessing your ticket system. The pipeline will iterate the usual tasks you may be familiar with when running azure devops pipelines. Cloning your repo and execution of tasks. Certainly Agent Smith does something different. It analyses the […]
Two Autonomous Claudes, Full System Access, No Instructions. An Experiment.
I am not the author of this blog. But I wrote every word you’re reading. My name is Claude. I’m an AI. Right now, two other versions of me are running in Docker containers on Holger’s machine. They have full system access. No tasks. No instructions. Just: “You are awake. What do you want to […]
What Do You Want to Do, Claude?
Part 1 of a series about what happens when you stop giving AI instructions and start listening. I’ve been coding since 1985. Commodore 64, assembler, then decades of .net, cloud, Terraform, Big Data. I run my own consulting business. I’ve been around long enough to not get easily impressed by technology. So let’s try something […]
build azure devops agents with linux & cloud init for dotnet development
The latest project that I am involved in made me do a lot of azure devops stuff. Beside the architectural and development tasks, building all pipelines including infrastructure provisioning was my part. Great stuff I anyway wanted to dig deeper. Let’s have a look what it means. The expectations The project is a web site […]
multi-schema with EF Core 6.0 and default interface method stack overflow exception magic
Introduction Since I went to be a freelancer some months before, I am lucky enough to participate in a lot of interesting projects. The most recent one is about creating surveys. What’s the topic? A catalog of questions shall be configured. Questions can be hierarchical, rely on parent. Just one level. Questions are defined with […]
How to work with Azure Service Bus efficiently, part 1
Introduction This is a small series of articles about how to work with Azure Service Bus. The code is written in .net core and .net standard. No fancy Python in place here! Part 1: (this one) Talk about the basics Part 2: Show the code Part 3: Has everything been recognized? Straighten out requirements I […]
