#tbt to Explore DDD 2025 in Denver!​

Our team had the pleasure of meeting Sean Collins, a core contributor to Hanami — a modern Ruby web framework focused on simplicity and maintainability.​

It was great to connect with someone shaping the future of Ruby web development.​

Thanks to the Explore DDD organizers for bringing together such an incredible community!​

Most Free Software projects come with a developer email list. Since the early beginning of Free Software this is the place to discuss future development, features and enhancements. Also for users, developer, most of them, honor usefull user input!

I really miss a platform where I could post "build this feature, fix this bug" jobs for random projects (that don't themselves already have targeted sponsorships) and find a well-rated Free, Libre, Open Source software developer (or designer, doc writer).

Ideally, crowd-funded.

Not in the sense of "I want to contract someone for long-term work"; I know how to do *that*, but individual smaller bounties for improving the projects I use often.

Most software development scenarios where LLMs excel or even just succeed are those where it's an embarrassment that the problem still exists.

(Because it's those scenarios where there's ample precedent in the training set, meaning it had to be repeatedly solved previously.)
