ICYMI: BESSER Skills: Bringing Software modeling to AI Coding Agents modeling-languages.com/besser-agent...

🤖🧑‍🎨🎨 Check out our new #uml #drawing #skill for #coding #agents #Diagrams as code for your #documentation and #communication needs. Our skill teaches your agents to use BESSER to create a #valid UML model to render and embed in your files. 🔗https://github.com/BESSER-PEARL/uml-drawing-skill

BESSER keeps improving non-stop. After the last announcement (just last week!) about the skills for a better Agent integration, we now announce a new modeling perspective: you can now model #business #processes using the #BPMN notation! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

#Agentic #Lowcode development is here 🤯🤩 Start creating reliable software with agents combining #lowcode and #deterministic #codegenerators with #flexible #AI coding. And much #cheaper! www.linkedin.com/posts/ai-bes...

Happy that our #oss #lowcode platform BESSER got the best demo award at @icwe_2026 Try it yourself at editor.besser-pearl.org

New version of my book websites: ☑️ The #lowcode #handbook: lowcode-book.com ☑️ The How to #survive in the #research world research-rants.com Both were previously on #WordPress but that was overkilling for such simple sites so I switched them to #Astro

Vibe coding is the ideal option for the #throwaway category of software apps that you can build in 2h www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

A 6m wide UML model built with BESSER. Because "the bigger the BESSER" :-) (but you can also try it on a small screen -> editor.besser-pearl.org , no signup, no installation required)

📣📢 Announcing the 1st edition of the #workshop on #Quantum #Modeling, co-located with MODELS'26 Join us to explore the combination of quantum for model-driven engineering and #MDE for the development of quantum #hybrid systems Details: ➡️ ➡️➡️ quantum-modeling-workshop.github.io

🤯New Release of BESSER, now with support to create #database #diagrams using the #ER #notation 🤯 See the full list of improvements: github.com/BESSER-PEARL...

From PDF to LMS-Ready Assessments: Combining LLMs and Model-Driven Engineering modeling-languages.com/from-pdf-to-... #pdf #qti #lms #learning #mde

What I had to write today in the Teams group: Title: If what you give me is the same an LLM can give me, I don't need you Body: We all use LLMs. But if what you give me is LLM-quality level (i.e. you take the llm output and forward it to me as your own), you're telling me that I don't need you

Vibe-driven model-based engineering: when low-code and AI had a son Read on to discover how to best combine #lowcode and #AI (#vibecoding) to balance #determinism and #flexibility. #hint: all the paths do not lead to #Rome but to #models modeling-languages.com/vibe-driven-...

Based on advice we got here (linkedin.com/posts/jcabot...) , we have now created an #agent #skill you could use to #review your papers before submitting them: github.com/BESSER-PEARL... (feel free to contribute).

Do you ask an #LLM to #review your paper BEFORE submitting it to a #conference? 🤔🤔 Some interesting comments 👉 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

🚨#SLE (Software Language Engineering) Abstract deadline in 1w!🚨 Remember we accept: ✅Full ✅New ideas/vision ✅Tool papers You can even submit papers that do not talk about #AI 🤯😱 (but no worries, you can also submit AI-related papers 😉) conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2026

📌 📣 TALK announcement: Rethinking the #Future of #Software #Development: What, Who and How 🗓️ March 4st at 18:30 📍 University of Luxembourg, ampus Kirchberg, Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi 6, Room Paul Feidert #Free but need to register: conference-cabot.eventsquare.store/7lqseaxgqng4

I know scheduling conferences is hard. But scheduling #MODELS and #ER conferences the same week is a pity. These two confs overlap a lot in terms of topics. The reason why the communities behind them overlap so little has always been a mystery to me. 🤷‍♂️ But I guess we won't get closer this year 😓

🥳 Yet again, big news from BESSER You can now automatically #deploy an app from your software #models For free. All from your online editor 🤯 🤯 No easier way to play with #lowcode and #modeldriven development. 🔗 Details: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

🎉 Releasing over 5000 B-UML #models for you to "play" with. Each model comes with some metadata and its own #python implementation and can be opened with the BESSER online modeling editor. modeling-languages.com/b-uml-dataset/

😭 1st day at work - 3 papers rejected in 3 diff confs. How is 2026 going for you? Good excuse to revisit my advice 142 - Research is not fair (but neither is life) and 42 - Good research gets eventually accepted (for more real-life #research #advice research-rants.com )

You can now generate #web #apps that embed (some) of the #OCL constraints defined at the model level to guarantee the #quality of the data github.com/BESSER-PEARL...

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...
