Revolutionizing Software with Moldable Development • Tudor Girba & Julian Wood
This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted.https://gotopia.techRead the full transcription of this interview here:https://gotopia.tech/articles/347Tudor Girba - Software Environmentalist and CEO of feenk Julian Wood - Serverless Developer Advocate at AWSRESOURCESTudorhttps://bsky.app/profile/tudorgirba.comhttps://github.com/girbahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/girbahttp://www.tudorgirba.comhttps://medium.com/@girbaJulianhttps://bsky.app/profile/julianwood.comhttp://www.wooditwork.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/julianrwoodDESCRIPTIONGet a sneak peak into the concept of moldable development as a transformative approach through a discussion between Tudor Girba and Julian Wood. By emphasizing the creation of tailored, flexible tools, Girba presents a way to reduce the friction of working with complex systems and legacy code. He explores how contextualized tools, such as those provided by the Glamorous Toolkit, allow developers to engage with software environments in a more intuitive and efficient manner.The integration of generative AI is also examined, where Girba argues that AI's true potential lies not in providing definitive answers but in assisting developers by generating hypotheses and creating tools that support deeper engagement with code. Additionally, the concept of "habitability" is introduced, proposing that software systems, like physical spaces, should be navigable and comprehensible to developers, fostering a more productive and enjoyable experience.This vision of a future where software systems are more accessible and adaptable reflects the growing need to rethink how we interact with code, empowering developers with the tools and perspectives necessary to navigate increasingly complex digital landscapes.RECOMMENDED BOOKSRichard P.
