I built a a real-time game backend with Firestore database to manage live player state. Then, @goose_oss connected the frontend to our backend. Just had to pass it our API keys and config, and it brought the code to life. From @codetv_dev w/ @jlengstorf, & @techgirl1908

How can #GenAI be used for reliable development if it can sometimes hallucinate? 1. Try using GenAI for query generation, not result generation 2. Fine places in your data pipelines with more error tolerance 3. Always double-check before production! x.com/i/status/1825923071116…
