If the LLM handles the writing of the code, our day job should shift toward understanding the product and the domain we are building for.

A look under the hood of a cross-platform AI agent setup that separates isolated subagents from reusable procedural skills.

Setting up my new laptop

Just a list of my essential software

After almost 8 years at Schantz, i thought it was time for something new. So after a couple of nice talks with the Tradeshift CTO Gert Sylvest, I’ve decided to join Tradeshift.

I’m starting this week at a new company with a new domain, so i guess i’ll be very busy. My guess is that most of the week will be spent on setting up the computer, and learn the new organisation and domain.

I’m finding myself writing more and more code in go, so i thought it were about time i got some CI up and running. Pretty much when that idea popped into my head, i got a mail from snap-ci. So i thought i would give it a go.

Snap is a product developed by ThoughtWorks, and it seems like a nice take on the whole CI thing.

But it seems that golang isn’t supported out of the box, however we can hack it a little bit to make it work :)

Why should i run the latest java version

In Scala community there have been talks about what java version the next scalac should target. That got me thinking, why should we run the latest version of java, and by latest i mean the latest major version.

It turned out it was easier to argument why you shouldn’t run an old version, so here goes !

Security

Nobody wants to be on the cover of some newspaper because your application has been compromised. That’s why Oracle is using some many resource to keep java bug free. They actually are using so many resource to fix bugs, that the next java version has been pushed, due to lack of resources internally at Oracle.

When running code from IntelliJ i often run into the issue, that my project file is not located in the same directory as the code. This will mess up code that are looking for locale files since the don’t exists in the project directory.

The solution is quite simple and easy, but for some reason it has taken me for ever to find it.

You have to go the edit run / debug configuration, and go under the defaults. Find e.i. JUnit, and enter $MODULE_DIR$ in the working directory field. This will use the module directory as the default value when creating new JUnit run / debug configuration.
