I almost couldn’t do this talk at #CascadiaJS.

I persisted through absolute weariness and exhaustion to make it to this stage.

To all the kind folks who said such wonderful things afterwards:

Thank you, it really means so much and makes it all worthwhile. ❤️

@_christinacodes As someone who lives by CLI tools and feels comfortable with them, I'll take a dashboard UI for anything I can.

And you're on point for sure with the general population.

GitHub Copilot is no longer just an autocomplete tool.

Had a really interesting conversation with @cassidoo on Talks with Ido Evergreen about how Copilot is evolving into an agentic coding tool.

Here's a snippet from our conversation 👇

@fharper I used to believe docs were the killer feature that decided whether I’d adopt tech and now I think it’s the humans communicating and supporting it as the deciding factor. They were always important but even more so.

@cmgriffing @codetv_dev 3 for me!

Proud of my guy Lars for giving his first conference talk, at @ReactAdvanced no less.

We met 2 yrs ago at @ReactRally and quickly realized we were both from Colorado. We got him to speak at @ReactDenver and I knew it was a matter of time for him to be on stage sharing his work.

[Lars @energyblazer]

Just finished my conference talk at @ReactAdvanced!

@Dayhaysoos For me it was when Vercel copied Apple’s marketing videos (launches).

Then everyone else copied Vercel.

Now mix that with AI generated copy and here we are.

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@blackgirlbytes Oh I need to start doing this.

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@TejasKumar_ Absolutely not, it’s the other way around.

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@focusotter I appreciate the lore. 😆

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@adocomplete Thanks so much. 🙏🏽

[Will Klein @willklein_]

My daughter asked to play D&D! I know nothing though.

Any advice for getting started as a family where everyone is new to the game?

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@Dayhaysoos Ever play @SatisfactoryAF?

That’s our job now.

[Will Klein @willklein_]

@nstlopez Working from Coffee Shop is the best. ✌🏽
