Once again this year I spent most of my time in the human skills track. It was a deliberate choice: to learn something, you have to get a little uncomfortable. If we always stay in our comfort zone we never find our limits, and nobody will push us past a limit we don’t know we have.

Paolo Caressa told the story of ELIZA, the first chatbot in history, and how he wrote a BASIC to JavaScript compiler to run the original code in a modern browser. Fascinating, instructive and absolutely mind blowing.

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.
