My personal opinions and relations from the conferences I have the opportunity to visit as a speaker or attendee.

RPI → RPIQ: the method that made AI build production software

RPI → RPIQ: the method that made AI build production software

For the first stretch of this project I didn't have a method. I had a chat window, a vague plan, and a lot of optimism. It got me surprisingly far and then it fell over — not because the model wasn't capable, but because I wasn't giving it a system to be capable inside of.

QA & Test - much more than just Embedded Software Conference in Bilbao Spain.

This year, 2024 second part of the conference season for me was very interesting but much compressed as I visited 2 conferences that were totally new for me in a period of 10 days. The first one was the 23rd edition of QA&Test in Bilbao Spain. I was
