iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We have never created as much software as we do today. But what is the point if it does not contribute to society? 🤔 The ultimate goal of building software should be improving human lives and society. This is what I call Social³ Source. 👉 Read More: jordicabot.com/social%c2%b3...

Social³ Source: We can create more software than ever. But what for?

Building software has become cheap. But what is the point of all this software if it doesn't make the world a better place to live in?

AI slop is at least brave enough not to hide itself. Got a bunch of new "comments" in my blog where the author field is "ai conversation generator" 😅

Our paper, “B-OCL: An Object Constraint Language #Parser and #Interpreter,” has been accepted to the #OCL #Workshop With BESSER, you can define OCL constraints on models, validate them, and evaluate them against object diagrams, making it easier to specify behavior. Try it here: lnkd.in/dYkJw5X7

So far, I mostly see people trying to use #vibecoding to clone existing applications. And they typically fail as they only replicate what they see. And this not much. They only see a #partial #view on the app #behaviour.

What I had to write today in the Teams group: Title: If what you give me is the same an LLM can give me, I don't need you Body: We all use LLMs. But if what you give me is LLM-quality level (i.e. you take the llm output and forward it to me as your own), you're telling me that I don't need you

I know scheduling conferences is hard. But scheduling #MODELS and #ER conferences the same week is a pity. These two confs overlap a lot in terms of topics. The reason why the communities behind them overlap so little has always been a mystery to me. 🤷‍♂️ But I guess we won't get closer this year 😓
