I Gave a Talk at the University of Bayreuth: Beyond the Vibe

My guest lecture on AI coding agents at the University of Bayreuth, in English: why context, verification, and infrastructure matter more than the model you pick.

A pale blue-violet wildflower with five soft, translucent petals stands sharply in focus against a dark, blurred background. Fine dark lines radiate from the center of the lower petals, leading toward a small cluster of white filaments at the flower’s core. Fresh green leaves surround the stem at the base, while the background fades into earthy tones and soft light.

Gentle Violet in Focus

Studentenwald, Bayreuth, Germany

Three small wildflowers arranged in a vertical line, each softly lit against a dark, blurred background. The central flower is in sharp focus, showing pale purple petals with deeper violet centers and bright yellow stamens. Above it, a partially opened purple bud appears softly blurred, while below, a white flower with a yellow center is also out of focus, giving the composition a dreamy, floating appearance.

A slender branch with small white blossoms and unopened buds extends into a dark, shadowy background. The flowers are gently lit, showing their delicate petals and pale yellow centers, while deep green leaves fade into the surrounding darkness. The overall scene has a moody, tranquil atmosphere with strong contrast between light and shadow.

The Slop Fork: Migrating a Python Backend to Bun with Claude Code

I used Claude Code to migrate our entire production RAG backend from Python, FastAPI, and Supabase to Bun, Hono, and Drizzle ORM. 109 commits in 5 days, 14,000 lines of TypeScript, and an 83-test smoke test that actually passes. Here's how I approached it.
