Ziad Beyens liked thisZiad Beyens liked thisToday’s technological pace makes one thing clear: companies don’t just need digital vision or constant innovation. They need the right partners to turn ambition into concrete, efficient, and sustainable value. That belief is what led me to join iO, Europe’s leading digital agency, with over 2,000 experts across 12 campuses in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Bulgaria. New context and challenges, same role. What stands out at iO is the combination of strong values, collective intelligence, and the drive to act as a decisive partner for ambitious companies. By bringing strategy, technology, marketing and execution together, we focus on delivering impact, not just ideas. After 4 weeks, I’ve already immersed myself in the iO culture and connected with teams across Brussels, Herentals, Ghent, and Antwerp. This new chapter marks an important step in my career, fully aligned with my entrepreneurial mindset and my drive to create meaningful impact. A new chapter that builds on the previous one with maastery - marketing as a service. I also want to thank the many clients I had the pleasure of guiding over the past 5 years, together with incredibly talented freelancers in Belgium, France, and around the world. Thanks to Szilvia Pakozdi, Els De Troch, Jeff Maes, Isabelle Dengis, Diana Martin, and all iO colleagues for the warm welcome and trust. Looking forward to what’s next. NB: En waarschijnlijk de beste plek ooit om mijn Nederlands actief te oefenen 😉 #io #experienceiseverything

Vingt-cinq années à ouvrir des horizons, à conduire des jeunes esprits là où ils ne se croyaient pas capables d’aller. J’ai vu des étudiants triompher au concours international d’économie, et j’ai eu la joie d’accompagner des collègues, eux aussi professeurs, vers ces sommets qu’ils ont gravis avec leurs élèves. Ces victoires, discrètes ou éclatantes, ont fait battre mon cœur d’enseignant : elles étaient des preuves que le savoir, lorsqu’il est transmis avec foi, peut changer une vie, dessiner un avenir, redonner confiance. Aujourd’hui, un autre défi se dresse devant moi. Non plus celui de guider une seule classe, mais celui d’apporter ma part à tout un système. J’avance avec la même flamme, la même patience, la même certitude que l’éducation n’est pas un métier : c’est une mission. Ce que j’ai donné hier à mes élèves, je veux désormais l’offrir à l’école elle-même. Pour qu’elle se relève, qu’elle s’élance, qu’elle ose à nouveau conduire les enfants plus loin que leurs rêves. Et si ma route change, mon engagement reste le même : aider, transmettre, bâtir… comme on sème une lumière pour demain.

Cycle App has been acquired by Atlassian 🎉 We’re joining the Jira Product Discovery team to keep building our feedback ingestion engine, powered by AI—now with the scale of a tech giant. It took us six years to go from 0 to a couple of hundred clients. Let’s see how long it takes us to reach thousands! On a personal note, I couldn’t have imagined a better story. From cafés in San Francisco with Thibaut and Kevin to late nights in Paris with Mehdi and julien, the ride has been amazing—and full of anecdotes to share when I’m old 👴 Some favorites: 👉 The war-room week we spent in Paris, rebuilding the product’s foundations and data model, enabling us to scale to millions of docs. 👉 Getting a term sheet in New York with Mehdi and Kev after two weeks of pitching in SF, convinced we were toast… until the confirmation came in. 🤯 👉 The sleepless night in Nantes with Julien and Thib on the phone, cracking the autopilot setup and workspace calibration while onboarding customers. 👉 And some I’ll only share over a beer. 😂 This is a new chapter—and one step closer to our vision: closing the feedback loop at every release. Now with Tanguy, Edouard and the whole Atlassian team! Thank you to the Cycle team, our customers, partners, and supporters. Let’s keep enjoying the ride 🚲

Ziad Beyens liked thisZiad Beyens liked thisMon SaaS est prêt à 90 %. Mais je continue à parler aux utilisateurs. Tous les jours. Parce qu’avoir des gens intéressés par ton produit, c’est un luxe. Mais avoir leur numéro WhatsApp ? C’est une arme. Quand j’ai lancé Taxiger, j’ai fait 2 choses simples : 1) J’ai signé un client à 5 chiffres, 2 semaines après avoir commencé à builder. Sur une démo bancale → Validation produit. 2) J’ai pris le terrain. J’ai rencontré des chauffeurs, des gestionnaires, des acteurs réels. Je leur ai montré mon proto. Ils étaient à fond. Moi, j’ai pris un max de feedback. Depuis ? Je bosse. J’améliore. Et à chaque milestone, je leur envoie une vidéo courte. Pas pour faire le show. mais les garder chauds. Pour qu’ils voient que ça avance. Pour que le jour du lancement, ils soient déjà dedans. Tu veux lancer proprement ? Pré-lance intelligemment. Le build, c’est 20 %. Les conversations, c’est le reste. Et c’est souvent ça qui fait toute la diff. Bref, ton meilleur marketing, c’est la preuve que tu avances. --- Hey 👋 J’ai lancé un SaaS sur un marché oublié qui pèse 6M€ ARR, sans vrai leader. Je me propose de prendre la place. → Plus d’infos en commentaires.

Ziad Beyens liked thisZiad Beyens liked thisLes professeurs sont devenus inutiles. Et si on l’acceptait enfin ? 🤔 C’est la petite musique qu’on entend un peu partout en ce moment. La technologie serait là pour les remplacer, pour automatiser l’enseignement, pour effacer le rôle humain. On ne va pas mentir : c’est précisément ce genre d’idée qui nous a poussés à lancer ce projet. Sauf qu’on n’a pas pris ce raccourci. Au contraire. Ce qu’on construit, c’est un outil qui remet l’enseignant au cœur de l’apprentissage. Il ne perd pas sa place, il gagne en visibilité sur la progression de ses élèves. Il voit les échanges, les points de blocage, les réussites. Il garde la main. L’étudiant, lui, avance, se fait challenger, mais il sait qu’il y a toujours un regard humain sur son parcours. On ne va pas faire les malins, c’est un MVP. Mais c’est concret. Et vos retours sont les bienvenus ! Hiliyeh B. / Ziad Beyens #Edova - #Education

Claude Code — coming back: plans, edit-only flow, speed, models Spoiler: I like it — but I still need practice 🙂 1) Billing / tokens (my switch to plans) Two+ months ago I used Claude Code with pay-per-token. Now I’m on Claude Pro, which includes a token package — enough for small tasks (we’ll see later). A small tip from my case: I had to log out and log in to switch from “buy tokens” to “use Pro tokens”. After that, no more prompts to pay separately. For exact rules — better check the official site. 2) Edit-only? Say it explicitly If you want changes only in existing files, be clear in the prompt. I asked for a new script and Claude Code also generated an .md instruction file (as requested). Later I asked for fixes — and it created two new files instead of editing the old ones… until I wrote explicitly: “Edit the existing files. Do not create new ones.” After that, it behaved exactly as expected. 3) Speed (early impression) It’s too early for a final verdict, but for my tasks the result felt faster than with Junie. I’ll keep comparing on real work. 4) Models I used Sonnet 4 (default on Pro for me). Opus 4.1 requires Max. I haven’t tried 4.5 yet — curious to test when it’s available. If you work with Claude Code, what prompt patterns help you most for edit-only workflows? P.S. The text was edited with ChatGPT. The thoughts and experience are mine 😊 #ClaudeCode #AItools #softwareengineering #developerexperience #golang #remotework

Behind the scenes of “admin in Luxembourg”. Every year, companies must upload a mandatory document on MyGuichet. Today the platform rejects the upload and asks for a PDF that doesn’t exist, because the official file is only available in XML. This blocks companies and fiduciaries for no good reason. We’re reporting it and helping our Salary.lu clients through it, but I wanted to share what’s happening in case you’re stuck too. Guichet.lu did we miss something ? I tried to reupload our ECSP files (Salary/ Accounttech) which were fine in january 2026. Now, they aren't anymore. 🤯

I’ve been running some tests this past week with the new Z-Image-Turbo model together with WAN 2.2 and MMAudio, entirely on my local machine — no browser tools, no cloud platforms in the middle. And honestly, the performance jump is noticeable. What stands out is how efficient the Turbo model is compared to typical web-based pipelines (NanoBanana, etc.). Running everything locally gives far more consistency, faster iteration, and full control over the workflow. All of this makes it clear that locally run models are starting to offer something that browser-based systems can’t easily match: full control, predictable behavior, and no dependency on server-side modifications. My tests with Z-Image-Turbo + WAN 2.2 + MMAudio have been surprisingly smooth — and if the upcoming Base model performs as expected, we may be heading into a very interesting year for local, open image generation.

Just watched Victor Rentea’s talk ~ The Psychology of Code. A perfect Friday reminder that being a software engineer isn’t just about code — it’s also about how we think, collaborate, and grow. Victor does a brilliant job capturing the human side of our work — from Impostor Syndrome to Bike Shedding and even the Ivory Tower Architect. As someone who’s transitioned from Engineering and QA to Web Development, I really resonate with this mindset. It’s refreshing to end the week with something that makes you reflect, not just refactor. Highly recommend giving it a watch if you haven’t already. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/dJZs-MHn

Here are the absolute best resources I’ve come across so far on Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters). In my opinion, this series is hands-down one of the clearest and most progressive explanations out there, especially for Java developers. All from Sven Woltmann on HappyCoders.eu – seriously high-quality content: 1 - The foundations (start here!)https://lnkd.in/d2nwk3rw → Excellent explanation of the “why” behind hexagonal architecture, great diagrams + a clear video summary. You’ll finally understand why it beats traditional layered architecture in terms of flexibility, testability, and maintainability. 2 - Pure Java implementation (no frameworks)https://lnkd.in/eTjJsD_M → Hands-on from scratch: multi-module Maven project, domain model, primary & secondary ports, use-case services, in-memory adapters, REST (JAX-RS), ArchUnit to enforce boundaries… Pure, clean Java. Perfect to really grasp the pattern before adding any framework magic. 3 - Spring Boot version https://lnkd.in/dMQvMWQq → Takes the same clean core and plugs in Spring Boot (MVC controllers, Spring Data JPA, etc.) without polluting the business logic. Great to see how to make it production-ready while staying true to hexagonal principles. 4 - Quarkus version (for the cloud-native / performance lovers) https://lnkd.in/dtQJQByZ → Same core logic, but now with Quarkus: super-fast startup, low memory, GraalVM native support, Panache repositories, and dev-mode magic. Ideal if you target Kubernetes or serverless. This series is probably the most complete step-by-step journey I’ve seen (and I’ve gone through many!). Start with #1 to get the concepts, then follow #2 → #3 or #4 depending on your preferred stack. If you try it and get stuck somewhere, feel free to ping me – happy to help debug or adapt it to your context. #HexagonalArchitecture #PortsAndAdapters #CleanArchitecture #Java #SpringBoot #Quarkus #SoftwareCraftsmanship #CleanCode #SoftwareEngineering #Backend

DAY 7 (Senior Developer Series) - Keynotes about MVP Most MVPs don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because “temporary” code becomes permanent. That quick hack ships fast… Then it ships again. Then it becomes the system. Shortcuts compound. Tech debt collects interest. And suddenly, progress feels expensive. Senior engineers don’t over-engineer MVPs. They design with an exit plan: Clear boundaries Replaceable components Decisions that can be reversed An MVP isn’t throwaway code. It’s code you haven’t paid for yet. Build fast — but leave yourself a way out. #Startups #Engineering #MVP #TechDebt #SoftwareArchitecture #SeniorDev codeblazeacademy

9 Months of Vibe Coding with Claude Max — And Whether Anthropic Will “Destroy” Developer ? A year ago, I was deep into Gemini 2.5 Pro. Paired with Firebase Studio, it was genuinely impressive. But after about three months, curiosity got the better of me and I gave Claude a shot. The difference was immediate. Fewer errors. Better context. And — most importantly — Claude actually understood what I was trying to build, not just what I typed. The agents felt well-trained, almost intuitive. That’s what got me hooked. And I never looked back. (Even after Google launched Project Astra and later rolled in Gemini 3.0 support — Claude still felt like home.) Now, I’m not here to talk about how Claude helps with my company projects. This is about something personal — the kind of thing every hobby dev quietly works on at midnight. 😄 For the past 10 months, I’ve been building my own application. From scratch. Alone. It involves: → A socket server built on Erlang + Mnesia → A full-featured web application → A KMM app targeting both iOS and Android …and more I’m comfortable with mobile development and backend. Frontend? Not so much. My original plan was to collaborate with a frontend dev. Claude made that conversation unnecessary. Here’s where it gets interesting — and why I wanted to write this post. People keep asking: “Will AI replace developers?” Here’s my honest answer, after 10 months of building with it daily: If AI was truly replacing developers, why did I still need to spend 10+ months on this project? My effort, my decisions, my architecture — all still required. What changed is that I didn’t need to hire a frontend developer to cover my weak spot. Claude bridged that gap. That’s not replacement. That’s leverage. And this is exactly where the shift is happening — quietly, rapidly, and most people are missing it: “AI won’t replace you. But developers who use AI will.” With MCP server integrations layered on top, the productivity jump isn’t incremental. It’s a different category altogether. So, can Anthropic “destroy” developers? No. But it’s already changing which developers stay relevant. The ones who adapt, experiment, and treat these tools as a multiplier — not a threat — are going to build things that previously required entire teams. I’m proof of that. Love coding. Have a bug-free day. 🐛 #VibeCoding #Claude #AITools #SoftwareDevelopment #IndieHacker #KMM #Erlang #Anthropic #BuildInPublic
