Building a Bank (with DDD, Microservices, and Autonomous Teams) - Lutz Huehnken, Florian Thiel
At Upvest, we build the software to manage the investments for millions of people from scratch. And with that, the organization to achieve this. We’d like to tell our story and share our learnings so far.
Being fully aware that, to quote the late Stefan…

Hello folks
AI is every where and is changing the way we work. Many people are claiming that AI will replace programmers in a matter of months or years. There are people that think that winter is coming, like the author of today’s article

AI: winter is coming!
Modern AI – LLMs and GANs – represent an unprecedented leap in hype. This isn’t going to end well.

It’s Friday, Weekend is coming.
We write code, AI helps us with it.. refactor, add tests, new code, etc. but AI needs to understand it first and obviously it costs.
What if we write code.. AI friendly? will we end up adopting new patterns that are aligned with how LLMs work?
A bit crazy maybe? well, Albert, a friend and a colleague wrote an article about it:
AI-managed codebases: What if we stop writing code for humans?

Coding agents have crossed a chasm
Coding agents have crossed a chasm Somewhere in the last few months, something fundamental shifted for me with autonomous AI coding agents. They’ve gone from a “hey this is pretty neat” curiosity to something I genuinely can’t imagine working without.

hello there
here is an interesting article on “Expert Generalists” and how Specialists are still needed, on Martin Fowler’s blog.
The best teams mix both: generalists to connect the dots, and specialists to go deep when it counts especially in complex domains or with specific tech. LLMs make generalists even more powerful, but balance is still key.

Expert Generalists
Being an Expert Generalist should be treated as a first-class skill, one that can be assessed and taught.
