For a few months now I’ve been using a pipeline of four Claude Code agents to take a feature from idea to implemented code: stories-init creates the workspace, spec-builder expands a rough idea into a complete spec, story-creator slices it into INVEST user stories, laravel-feature-builder implements a story in Laravel. It’s not a weekend experiment: I built Chimera Forge with it, a playful kobold-generating API (kaas.procionegobbo.it) and a Discord bot (kichand.procionegobbo.it). It’s tested, it works, and right now it fully fits my way of doing agentic coding.

I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs with my current group for six years. We started online because the group is spread across Rome, Naples and Brazil. One evening a week, almost always, and I’ve never been bored. One of the things I’ve always loved, both as a game master and as a player, is imagining and describing scenes: when it works, what happens during a session becomes almost a real memory, and days later the players retell it with the same casualness of recounting a weekend at the beach. That feeling is worth more than anything else.

What is a real programmer? I’ve been doing this job for thirty years and I thought I knew. But then at Codemotion Roma I heard this: “Those who use frameworks are not real programmers”. Maybe it was just a provocative joke. Maybe. Or maybe our profession, like many others, suffers from a form of elitism where one’s own way of doing programming is the only worthy one.
