About us
Welcome to the world's largestš„ developer community on crafting software. Events are free to attend, online, in English, and after work (from 18:00 EET / 17:00 CET). You can find past events recorded on this YouTube Channel.
This community is for those who care and are proud of our work. For those developers, regardless of how experienced they are, who want to improve and master their craft. This is a place for those who believe that being average is not good enough.
We are Software Developers aiming to get better at our profession, no matter the programming language.
The Manifesto of Software Craftsmanship
As aspiring Software Craftsmen we are raising the bar of professional software development by practicing it and helping others learn the craft. Through this work we have come to value:
ā¢ Not only working software, but also well-crafted software
ā¢ Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value
ā¢ Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals
ā¢ Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships
That is, in pursuit of the items on the left we have found the items on the right to be indispensable.

/human-review - Tools & Guardrails for Agentic Engineers
Ā·OnlineOnlineAt Devoxx Antwerp, I gave a tour of the human review tool I vibe-coded (on YouTube here), which includes a large variety of visualisation and metrics techniques a software engineer can use to keep an AI-built solution on track.
After the talk, I promised to organize a "Frustrated / Creative Users Follow-up Meeting" to collect more requirements and ideas from the community, to burn my (almost) infinite quota on š
Play 5 minutes with the live online demo-1 and demo-2 (receving updates every weekš), and join the meetup with your ideas.
ā¤ļø You can use these tools yourself - just ask your š¤agent to help you bring them to your project - prompts already provided in each tab. ā In < 1 hour you can already have some of these into your project
Among the features:
- Sequence Diagrams collected from E2E tests
- Semantic Mapping of Tests to Requirements
- Structural view of packages/modules/deployment units
- Complexity Calculation per endpoint
- Code City visualisation of coupling, cohesion, complexity, size, ...
- UX Regression tests
- Domain/Data Model diff visualisation
ā All in exact sync with reality - computed or tested against the actual behavior and code.Bio
With 2 decades of software engineering experience, Victor spent the last 10 years training thousands of developers and architects from 150+ companies. Since early 2026, heās been working hard to help his clients adopt Agentic Engineering (see https://agentic.how), coaching AI Champions, developers, testers, product owners, ops, and managers with practical, actionable advice to kick-start their agentic reconversion. Every year, Victor gives energetic, intense conference talks in which he distills his training sessions - so be sure not to miss these ideas, heavily brainstormed with millennia of total experience.
