on the train ride home after @theo's talk yesterday, I deployed my first shitty app on lakebed, at https://t.co/dIaJvmNdbd
it's a barcode generator but the barcodes aren't scannable!
i.e they're the encoded plaintext that gets output from the standard barcode algorithms, useful for pasting into text fields in other apps (like a spreadsheet or notes app). make it scannable by using an appropriate barcode font (like Libre Barcode 128, etc)
fantastic talk from @darius_cepulis about composable apis and how to design good ones, in the right way(s). I've been theorycrafting a homelab IaC framework lately, and this has been extremely relevant info for me ๐ค @CascadiaJS
have come across this issue a few times, even when using @mattpocockuk's skill files. a feedback loop of spec->code->back to spec seems empowering
very interesting talk from @JI from Expo about "linked literare programming", aka an attempt to solve the persistent issue of spec docs drifitng from code during implementation @CascadiaJS
second talk of the day was just @joelhooks listing off all the cool ppl and things I've also learned about and started using from here on twitter, which was honestly very fun!
the one agent -> many agents -> back to one agent pipeline is real
one of the big AX wins I do love is sites doing context negotiation and returning markdown when an agent tries to parse content from a url - wayyy better than getting the full html
first talk of @CascadiaJS is matt biilmann of @Netlify talking about AX, so-called "agent experience." skeptical of how important this is as the models get smarter / more independently capable, but probably still worth thinking about especially if you're an open weight enthusiast
