Jaime Buelta    There’s a lot of talk about the capabilities of AI Agents, and a lot of promise on the things that they may be able to achieve. Or not achieve. As well as a lot of excitement, there’s a lot of skepticism, where not direct rejection. The term of AI Agent is still a bit in flux, but it refers to a...

Jaime Buelta    The evolving landscape of AI features a growing interconnectivity between GenAI models and frontend tools. Companies are rapidly developing both open-source and proprietary models, challenging the dominance of established players like OpenAI. While backend models are costly to create, both them and...

Jaime Buelta    Well, it was actually just 11 months, but it makes more sense to round it up. This happened a bit over two years ago, which in software developer time feels very far away in the past, so I think it makes sense to talk about it. On 2022 I got an offer to work on Amazon in a sort of unexpected way....

Jaime Buelta    Recently, I’ve been playing around with GenAI tools. Yes, I know I’m late at this point, but these days coding is not as big a part of my day-to-day as it used to (though I still do it regularly), and I have never been too interested in autocomplete tools, which has been the way most of the GenAI...

Jaime Buelta    Another year, another ShipItCon I’ve talked already on the previous instances of the conference. To keep things short, it’s an annual conference based in Dublin that works around the idea of releasing software. Because it’s very open-ended topic that can be approached from lots of angles, and it’s...

Jaime Buelta    It’s this time of the year again, and another ShipItCon review is due I’ve talked about the previous instances of this conference, which happens in Dublin, roughly once a year (though the pandemic years it did not happened), and I think is a quite interesting conference, especially as it revolves...

Jaime Buelta    Well, here we are again. Back to going physically to a place where people are talking for an audience in a structured way. It’s been quite some time. I’m not going to deny that the feeling was a bit weird and that I got a bit (extra) anxious about being in a place with so many people. I’ve talked...

Jaime Buelta    I had a nice chat with Eric Chou in his Network Automation Nerds Podcast about some of the topics that I’ve talked about on my books, like Software Architecture and Automation. We also covered topics like how I started my journey into Python or the difference between different roles. The chat is...

Jaime Buelta    Software Architecture is a fascinating subject. The objective of a solid architecture for a system is to generate an underlying structure that is separates components in a meaningful way, but at the same time, is flexible to allow the system to grow in capacities and functionalities. That it’s...

Jaime Buelta    Here is one small snippet that it’s very useful when dealing with quick scripts that perform slow tasks and can benefit from running in parallel. Enter the Futures Futures are a convenient abstraction in Python for running tasks in the background. There are also asyncio Futures that can be used...
