Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for general-purpose programming. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability, notably using significant whitespace

Ever since I started using IRIS, I have wondered if we could create agents on IRIS. It seemed obvious: we have an Interoperability GUI that can trace messages, we have an underlying object database that can store SQL, Vectors and even Base64 images. We currently have a Python SDK that allows us to interface with the platform using Python, but not particularly optimized for developing agentic workflows. This was my attempt to create a Python SDK that can leverage several parts of IRIS to support development of agentic systems.

Senior engineering is defined not by the volume of code produced, but by the strategic avoidance of it. In complex integration environments, the tendency to utilize general-purpose libraries for every niche requirement introduces unnecessary overhead. True architectural maturity requires a commitment to "minimalist tooling"—prioritizing resilient, battle-tested system utilities over custom logic. This assessment examines our PGP encryption/decryption pipeline to demonstrate how shifting from application-level libraries to OS-native delegation enhances system durability.

Today I have published a new Open Exchange package for generation of Synthetic Data directly into IRIS.

 It can be a frustrating process to find decent datasets when you are looking to make a demo app. Maybe the dataset doesn't matter that much, but you still want it to appear somewhat genuine and with several linked tables that are usable directly within IRIS with the neat implicit joins with ->. Maybe you just want linked tables that are easily installable with IPM to benchmark queries, this dataset generation would be perfect.

What is a Microservice?

A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services. Each component is developed around a specific business capability, can be deployed independently, and is typically managed by a miniature, specialized, self-governing team.

Since I started using Claude Code, my motivation to create things has skyrocketed.

Previously, even if I wanted to build something, actually doing the coding felt like a hassle, so unless there was a very strong need, I rarely went as far as programming. But now, if I just jot down the specifications, Claude Code handles the rest automatically, resulting in a dramatic improvement in productivity.

I come from a generation native to ObjectScript, so I used to feel some hesitation when it came to switching to Python.
