Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.
well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
- Do you have a website?
- http://bit.ly/codeman
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Po Linn Chia presented how they re-used a single development environment to deploy multiple service versions for testing their distributed system in her presentation "No QA Environment? No Problem" at Dev Summit Boston. A small enablement team, cultural buy-in, and gradual learning helped teams collaborate, reduce cognitive load, and scale testing practices.

Hugging Face has launched Community Evals, a feature that enables benchmark datasets on the Hub to host their own leaderboards and automatically collect evaluation results from model repositories.
By Daniel DominguezArticle: Spec-Driven Development – Adoption at Enterprise Scale
Spec‑Driven Development shifts AI‑augmented software delivery from tactical prompting to collaborative intent articulation. Enterprises face gaps in tooling, workflow integration, multi‑repo coordination, and cross‑functional collaboration. Sustainable adoption requires treating specs as living, shared interfaces, and evolving organizational practices.
By Hari KrishnanGitHub Agentic Workflows Unleash AI-Driven Repository Automation
Recently launched in technical preview, GitHub Agentic Workflows introduce a way to automate complex, repetitive repository tasks using coding agents that understand context and intent, GitHub says. This enables workflows such as automatic issue triage and labeling, documentation updates, CI troubleshooting, test improvements, and reporting.
