The result of a little research project I conducted over the last weeks. How efficient is augmented development really?

Are AI and vibe coding the end of digital agencies? https://t.co/qvNe8HN2nO

My tests run faster than you can click "Next" → "Next" → "Submit" → wait → "500: Internal Server Error"

Everybody needs a good tin-hat opinion! Mine is about rendering React components. Crazy, I know. https://t.co/fIHZSY13xD

The holidays finally gave me time to sort my thoughts and experiences around agentic development. How work has changed and why traditional software quality standards are more important than ever: https://t.co/jBCn2TVeCP

Oryx combos are a game changer 🤯 https://t.co/VnP72rYutX Invested in Planck and Ergodox by @ErgoDoxEZ years ago, and the return is still growing.

@wimleers @nod_ @GabeSullice The difference is that we can now reliably structure the whole document from the root. And that puts it on par with entity-based solutions. But far better performance (bc a million tables with paragraphs).

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@wimleers @nod_ @GabeSullice A more polished editing experience, and other maintainers besides us 😂 It was more a question of investment. Both CKEditor 5 and ProseMirror would be better alternatives from a pure engineering standpoint. But you have to invest a lot more upfront.

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@wimleers @nod_ @GabeSullice CKEditor 4 was built on HTML editables, and therefore hard to control for these use cases. 5 has a proper document model that better supports structured documents. So, imho we didn’t have it 🙃

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@wimleers @nod_ @GabeSullice @reinmarpl Yep, thats what we prototyped: https://t.co/MkdlOEpLg9

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@wimleers @nod_ @GabeSullice On which part? 😀

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@nod_ @GabeSullice We built something like that based on CKEditor 5, which has the capabilities. But we switched to Gutenberg by now, since we didn’t have the resources to compete with the editing experience there.

[Philipp Melab @pmelab]

@GabeSullice Couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen too many paragraphs-nightmares.

@ronaldborman @amazeelabs @Cypress_io Thanks, glad to hear that 😃 The last webinar even contained some cypress/react unit tests. But the topic would deserve a webinar on its own.

@_klausi_ @thefubhy 👏 thank you @_klausi_ for taking the lead here! 4.0, i can’t believe it 😇
