)🚀 Hi! I'm a researcher, teacher, podcaster, and software developer!
Gregory M. Kapfhammer
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.

Status Updates
I think my next laptop will be a linux machine.
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!
@treyhunner my company went all in on uv+ruff about 6 months back. It's been great!
I started playing with ty on a personal project. Been really digging it so far.
I'm going all-in on uv & just for a new project and I'm really enjoying this workflow.
I feel like I may end up using uv for new projects instead of hatch. 😮
