Codemoo: Demonstrating How Coding Agents Work

1 Share

How do you assemble the core pieces of a coding agent? How are developers defining projects through conversation and introspection? This week on the show, Geir Arne Hjelle returns to talk about his recent project to demonstrate how coding agents work under the hood.

Geir Arne was my first guest on this program and has returned often over the years. He’s been exploring how coding agents work and has built a demonstration tool to explain them.

We also discuss how he is using LLM tools in his work. We talk about moving beyond Spec-Driven Development to using tools that help you build architecture documents through thorough questioning sessions.

Course Spotlight: Modern Python Linting With Ruff

Ruff is a blazing-fast, modern Python linter with a simple interface that can replace Pylint, isort, and Black—and it’s rapidly becoming popular.

Product Owners Who Turn Feedback Into Agile Team Learning | Oluyomi Emmanuel

Oluyomi Emmanuel: Product Owners Who Turn Feedback Into Agile Team Learning

The Great Product Owner: Listening, Investing, and Learning With the Team

"A great product owner is not the person with all the answers. It is the person who creates access to the right evidence." - Oluyomi Emmanuel

 

Oluyomi shares the example of a Product Owner whose strongest habit was asking the team for feedback, listening without defending himself, and then acting on what he heard. In one sprint review, the team looked at internal metrics and raised a difficult concern: they were completing work, but it did not always seem closely connected to what customers needed. The Product Owner could have defended the roadmap or blamed incomplete metrics. Instead, he treated the feedback as evidence worth investigating. He secured a training budget and enrolled both himself and the whole team in behavior-driven development training. More importantly, the training did not remain a certificate exercise. The Product Owner joined the learning and helped bring BDD practices into refinement, stakeholder conversations, and interviews. The team's conversations moved from abstract requirements to specific situations and expected outcomes. Hidden assumptions became visible earlier, and the team could challenge unclear requirements constructively before implementation began.

 

Self-reflection Question: How does your Product Owner show the team that feedback changes real behavior?

The Bad Product Owner: The Absent Product Owner as a Role Design Problem

Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.

 

"An absent product owner is often not an individual time management problem. It is usually a role design problem." - Oluyomi Emmanuel

 

Oluyomi also describes the absent Product Owner anti-pattern. In his example, the Product Owner was not careless or uninterested. The structural problem was that the same person was both Product Owner and line manager, so the Product Owner role kept being squeezed into whatever time remained. Epics existed, but the team lacked enough context to refine them. Questions accumulated, refinement became a place to discover missing information, and important decisions waited for someone who was rarely available. Oluyomi first asked for more Product Owner availability, but that did not change the system because the competing responsibilities remained. He then created a stakeholder map for the major areas of work: who had the business problem, who owned the desired outcome, who had specialist knowledge, and who would be affected by the change. Inviting relevant stakeholders into refinement gave developers direct access to context. The lesson was not to remove product ownership, but to stop making the Product Owner the only messenger between the team and every stakeholder.

 

In this segment, we refer to behavior-driven development, product ownership, and stakeholder collaboration.

 

Self-reflection Question: Are you compensating for an unavailable Product Owner in a way that keeps the real organizational design problem hidden?

Tray-tober Day 9: Tray-MdB

1 Share

When understanding why I am reaching for my phone while on my PC, a common reason is because I want to look up info in the great iOS app Callsheet. What if I had a similar app in my tray for those quick questions in the moment without opening a web browser? That is Tray-MdB (Tray Movie Database). Search for movies and TV shows, as well as actors directors and more!

In addition to getting info about a movie the app can also serve as a list of “want to watch” and “seen” for your content. Now keep the details and the favorite list close at hand for making quick decisions about what to watch, or info about what your watching without interrupting your workflow!

Happy Tray-tober!

Joe
