@cnakazawa @amadeus @fat have you seen https://t.co/YygM9cb67H or https://t.co/jk2om7Cd8d?

Was thinking about a GUI like you build with Inline agent / AI annotations.

But what I think about more is: let an agent analyze it and come up with a plan to walk me through and give me examples how to test it

@cnakazawa but also wonder if there is a way where you don’t feel super exhausted and still be productive

[Nik Graf @nikgraf]

@cnakazawa makes a lot of sense 👏

[Nik Graf @nikgraf]

@mitsuhiko couldn't agree more

From my own experience: if winter comes again and you still ride I can recommend to add mudguards

[Nik Graf @nikgraf]

@cnakazawa no surprises here, this happens when you ship Austrian slang translations 😂

[Adam @Inknowledged]

@AhmedShahnab created a 3d visualization of the world's inequality - based on the world bank's data.

Now imagine if all of the world's bank data could be connected & explored visually by everyone. That's what @geoprotocol is building: a knowledge graph for the world's public data that drives global coordination.

Cool project to explore: https://t.co/X2YSHEsMXE

🤦😂 Claude Code response:

Fixed — Redis will now connect to port 6382.
Important: Your API keys and tokens were exposed when I read the .env file. You should rotate them

[Jason Williams @Jason_williams]

Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂

Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years!

I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜

[Local-First Conf @localfirstconf]

Local-First Conf 2026 tickets are now on sale.

July 12–14 · Berlin · 350 people · single track

This year's theme: user empowerment in an age of fluid software. We're going beyond CRDTs to explore malleable software, peer-to-peer, self-sovereign identity, open-weight models, ATproto, and much more.

If you're building for user agency, this is your conference. CFP is open. We want YOUR talk. 👇https://t.co/Lwu3LVMznj

[Devlin Duldulao @devlinduldulao]

We are here @ReactVienna with @aurorascharff, @glnnrys, @hola_soy_milk, @TkDodo, @farisaziz12, and @nikgraf. Thanks for inviting us, and thank you @myadverity and @KetryxHQ for making this happen.

[Effect | TypeScript for the AI Era @EffectTS_]

Effect v4 is in beta. 🚀

Rewritten runtime. Smaller bundles. Unified package system.

The most ambitious release we've made so far. Here's what's new. 🧵

[Nik Graf @nikgraf]

@stoiber_manfred @mxstbr @steipete 😅

[Philipp Spiess @PhilippSpiess]

Wrote about software collaboration in the age of AI agents and why I built AgentLogs in the past few weeks.

Some quotes:

- “GitHub is dying”
- “Nobody knows where this is heading”
- “It's time to really rethink best practices”

[Guntram Bechtold @guntrambechtold]

We officially hand over @AgentConf to a new organizing team at @callstackio.

10 events. 7 years. Hundreds of engineers from around the world in Dornbirn.

In November 2016 I had an idea: a React conference in Vorarlberg. No budget, no team, no track record. Eight weeks later, 100 developers stood in the Raiba Im Rheintal in Dornbirn. Christoph Pojer from Facebook opened the stage. Max Stoiber called it "the most epic conference ever."

What started as a local idea became something we never could have imagined:

AgentConf became one of ten official Facebook JS conferences worldwide. Core engineers from Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Amazon, and SoundCloud came to Vorarlberg -- not Berlin, not Vienna. To Dornbirn. And then skiing in Lech.

We sold tickets at EUR 1,400+ to people who had never heard of Dornbirn. At the same time, Martin, 17, a vocational school student, scraped together his euros for a Super Early Bird ticket. Both sat on the same chairlift in Lech.

That was the core of Alpine Conferences: no gatekeeping. World-class content. And an environment you cannot manufacture -- conversations at 2,000 meters, apres-ski with the people whose open-source projects you use every day, friendships that last for years.

In 2018, WorkerConf joined the family. Node.js, backend, infrastructure. Summer instead of winter. Hiking instead of skiing. Same principle: deep technical content combined with the nature that makes Vorarlberg unique.

During the pandemic, we adapted -- digital formats, goodie boxes shipped to your door, a bike challenge where every meter generated donations to Open Collective. Not perfect. But honest.

2023 was the final AgentConf. Kent C. Dodds ran a React workshop. 16 speakers on the single-track stage at Spielboden. Two days in Lech. A fitting end.

What remains:

The conviction that a region like Vorarlberg can hold its own on the global tech map. Not by imitating Silicon Valley. But by building something of its own.

A network of engineers who met in Dornbirn and now build products together, run companies, and drive open-source projects forward.

Proof that premium events can be built and sold internationally from a small Alpine region -- when the format, content, and community are right.

The conferences are now in new hands. The community stays.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible:

Team & organization:
@tomsvogel -- co-founder and partner in crime from day one. Daniel Rotter -- co-organizer and developer at Sulu/MASSIVE ART. Phuc -- you welcomed the community on stage. arkulpa GmbH -- content curation and speaker lineup since the very first edition. Nina Broell -- photography. Pia Pia Pia -- aftermovies.

Speakers across the years (AgentConf & WorkerConf):
Christoph Nakazawa (@cpojer), Max Stoiber (@mxstbr), Nik Graf (@nikgraf), Kent C. Dodds (@kentcdodds), Sara Vieira (@NikkitaFTW), Nadia Makarevich (@adevnadia), Glenn Reyes (@glnnrys), Jani Evakallio (@jevakallio), Vladimir Novick (@VladimirNovick), Monica Lent (@MonicaLent), Jan Monschke (@thedeftone), Svanlaug Ingolfsdottir, Patrick Stapfer (@ryyppy), Brent Vatne (@notbrent), David Khourshid (@DavidKPiano), Balint Erdi, Tereza Sokol, David Shedrick, Mike North, Andrey Okonetchnikow, Mats Bryntse, Saskia Vola, Nacho Martin (@nacmartin), Johannes Schickling (@schickling), Tejas Kumar (@TejasKumar_), Daniel Thompson-Yvetot, David Leitner, Michael Bromley (@MichaelBromley), Michael Arnaldi, Lisi Linhart (@LisiLinhart), Shivay Lamba (@HowDevelop), Konstantin Tkachuk, Onur Kasimlar, Johannes Moser, Mika Naylor, Matteo Collina (@matteocollina), Tomas Della Vedova (@daborelvedor), Tierney Cyren (@bitandbang), Tracy Lee (@ladyleet) -- and every other speaker I cannot name individually here. Every single talk made a difference.

This week we celebrated @OpenClaw Conf in Vienna. 🔥

One thought stuck with me. We're entering a world where custom software is normal.

Everyone has their own insta-coder, their own personal appstore.

Soon software will exist on the fly, only when you need it. Just for one moment. Then it's gone. Personalized, disposable, one-shot. 🤯

Code can now be autogenerated.

So if code is "no longer worth anything" (hyperbole speaking) and you can auto-build any idea into existence (slop gods be kind):

What is the future of software development – especially for founders?

I made a video on this. Spoilers: we had the working title: "Software Development is f**d"

This video is maybe more questions than answers – especially for SaaS founders.

But I also cover POVs of mine:
Eg why GitHub is obsolete, why open source might actually be dead soon, the Mexican standoff between designers/engineers/PMs, why prompt injection could be bigger than SQL injection, and what I'd actually do as a SaaS founder right now.

But there is also a paradox in all of this:
Now might be the most exciting time to build software. Ever. 🦾

Thanks as always for watching.

Likes, shares, subscribes, goat slaugthering, and any other algo magic you can throw at this: deeply appreciated.

Trying to build this YouTube channel up and your support genuinely helps. Link to the channel in the reply ❤️

[Christopher Ehrlich @ccccjjjjeeee]

It actually worked!

For the past couple of days I’ve been throwing 5.3-codex at the C codebase for SimCity (1989) to port it to TypeScript.

Not reading any code, very little steering.

Today I have SimCity running in the browser.

I can’t believe this new world we live in.

[Nik Graf @nikgraf]

The first @openclaw meetup happening in Vienna. Absolutely wild how the project exploded.

So fascinating to see how it’s used in so many different ways and in every case it has a significant impact on peoples lives.

Note: Prompt injection still gives me goosebumps

[Andreas Klinger 🦾 @andreasklinger]

Vienna is lit tonight. 🔥

OpenClawCon is in full action. 🦞

We needed to open up a co-watching venue because this venue was completely overbooked 🤯

All here to celebrate our boy @steipete 🙏❤️
