I recently hosted an episode of Software Engineering Radio called "Samuel Colvin on the Pydantic Ecosystem"!

🚀 Hi! I'm a researcher, teacher, podcaster, and software developer!

Innovating in technical areas such as software engineering and software testing, I teach courses, conduct research, write papers and a blog, give presentations, create software, and serve organizations. Working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Allegheny College, I am an associate editor for the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, an academic editor for the PeerJ Computer Science journal, a program committee member for conferences like the International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation and the International Conference on Software Engineering, and a reviewer for journals like Transactions on Software Engineering and the Journal of Software Testing, Verification and Reliability. Along with media appearances on podcasts like Stack Overflow and Talk Python, I interview the world’s leading experts on software engineering as a co-host of Software Engineering Radio. You can learn more about me and my work by reading my biography, downloading my curriculum vitae, and subscribing to my mailing list.

As a co-host of Software Engineering Radio, I interviewed Kacper Łukawski about the Qdrant vector similarity #Search engine, a key component in an #AI workflow.

Want to listen to this compelling discussion? Check it out at: se-radio.net/2025/10/se-radio-.

And, while my audio or interview skills are not nearly as good as @marcoarment or the other hosts on @atpfm, I'm glad to say that I keep improving.

It was a great conversation, thanks Kacper!

Let me know what you all think. Feedback appreciated!

Put some final touches to Toad's permission request screen.

When the agent has an update, it pops this screen up. You can review the diffs in unified or split view, then decide if you want to accept or reject the changes.

Toad is getting closer to a first release. It will be able to provide a front-end to both Claude and Gemini in the first version.

Watch this space!
