From One Agent to Many - Skills, harnesses and multi-agent systems A chat with Marco Heimeshoff Generating code costs almost nothing now. Understanding it, steering it and trusting it still cost a lot. And the more agents you run, the bigger that second part gets. An informal chat with Marco Heimeshoff (DDD trainer, co-founder of KanDDDinsky and author of the agentic harness agenthoff) about what changes when you go from one agent with a few skills to a structured system: how to keep code ownership & quality and keep the team in control of what it ships. It’s also a chance to hear what Marco is working on today and to get Max Trense's insights on the topic, who will moderate the conversation. 00:00 Introduction 01:21 From DDD to Agentic Development 04:02 DDD, Ubiquitous Language and Bounded Contexts 06:33 Why Build Your Own Agentic Harness? 10:48 How Software Engineering Skills Are Changing 14:42 Who Benefits — and Who Struggles — with AI? 16:46 How Can Developers Adapt? 20:24 Keeping Up in a Fast-Moving AI Landscape 24:37 The New Bottleneck: Code Review 29:18 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👉 Workshop: https://bit.ly/Agentic-Developer  📩 Join our newsletter: https://bit.ly/newsletter-avanscoperta 🗓 Upcoming Public Events: https://bit.ly/avanscoperta-training

L'esperienza si vive o si costruisce? E cosa si intende per Experience Design? In questo episodio esploriamo insieme a Ivano Masiero e Alessandra Granaudo che cos'è l'Experience Design e in quali ambiti può tornare utile.

Collaborative Software Modelling and Design with Bytesize Sessions with Andrea Magnorsky “I don’t want an exclusive design process, but when you open it up it takes 10 times longer. It’s impossible to get buy-in for that.” Sound familiar? You know collaboration matters, but every time you open up the design process, it grinds to a halt. And so you default to solo work, or back-room decisions, and the knowledge silos grow. Right now, organisations are navigating higher uncertainty than ever: unclear goals, shifting team structures, and evolving roles for engineers and technical leaders. In this landscape, the ability to share deep context and design together – efficiently – is a competitive advantage, not a nice-to-have.

Gojko Adzic - Lizard Optimization Look who's back! Gojko Adzic will present us his new book Lizard Optimization: Unlock product growth by engaging long-tail users. As we read on the back cover: "Lizard Optimization is a technique for designing product development experiments by engaging long-tail users that seem to follow some unexplainable "lizard" logic. It can help you understand your audience better and improve your products. The method is based on the author's experience managing an online software product that grew explosively from November 2021 to November 2022. The key user metric, tracking when people are getting value from the product, increased by more than 500 times in those 12 months (times, not percent). This happened after a period of unremarkable growth and a slow decline. Looking back, the key factor in reversing the decline and unlocking exponential growth was a counter-intuitive approach to engaging users. This book is a summary of the key lessons from that crazy growth phase, synthesized into a simple process that you can apply to improve your products, and help you unlock growth, reduce churn and increase revenue." And as usual - plenty of space for your questions!  🎙 Speaker Gojko Adzic  📰 Bio Gojko is a partner at Neuri Consulting LLP. He is one of the 2019 AWS Serverless Heroes, the winner of the 2016 European Software Testing Outstanding Achievement Award, and the 2011 Most Influential Agile Testing Professional Award. Gojko’s book Specification by Example won the Jolt Award for the best book of 2012, and his blog won the UK Agile Award for the best online publication in 2010. Gojko is a frequent speaker at software development conferences and one of the authors of MindMup and Narakeet. ✔ Save the link, activate and allow the notifications from YouTube, or subscribe to our YouTube channel and never miss our next free online event or an update from Avanscoperta: http://bit.ly/SubscribeAvanscoperta 🔝 Our next workshops: https://bit.ly/Avanscoperta_Workshops... 📩 Join our newsletter (available in Italian and in English): http://bit.ly/Avanscoperta_Newsletter_YT
