Today I tried a new AI workflow - "Rolling Wave Engineering" by @rijkvanzanten 🙌 Most of the AI workflows base on the idea that you develop a plan with your AI from start to finish. So you know exactly everything that is coming out the end. And then let AI write the whole thing. For people like me, who like to be more in the code rather than just writing a plan document for 3 days that doesn't work. What Rijk is proposing is a system that uses AI to help you do a workflow very closely as you would do in the pre-AI era. Instead of planning everything out beforehand, you build our feature step by step. Or "slide by slice" to use the framework nomenclature. You prepare a slice, implement it, test it, review it. There are nice guards to make sure each of the parts you build is solid (from start to finish). You also don't need know which pieces exactly you need to move/implement for your feature to work. You start with a general idea and in each slice explore and concreticize together with AI what you exactly need. You can also just skip the implementation of a step and do it yourself. And let AI do everything around it. I feel like this keeps me way more in the driver seat as other methods. I'll let you know the coming days or weeks how this experiment continues. If you want to give it a whirl, here's the repo 👇 github.com/rijkvanzanten/rol…

ICYMI - our docs got a MAJOR upgrade last week. Alongside our V12 RC release, we've also totally rebuilt our documentation from the ground up. Cleaner structure, better search, and a customization option so you can get docs tailored to your specific stack. Just want a quick answer without digging through pages? Say no more. We've ALSO added a new AI assistant to fetch what you need, right when you need it. Whether you're just getting started or going deep on the API, it's all there. Happy building! 👉 directus.com/docs

There are so many exciting things going on at @directus, it’s mental! Very soon we will be able to show you what we’ve been working on besides the incredible Directus v12. It feels unreal being a part if all this 🥹

Loving @rijkvanzanten 's presentation at @frontendnation. Very cool mix of determinism and non-determinism for flexibility and reliability

Most backends are built for developers. But the rest of the team is building, too. Directus v12 is out today. A major upgrade built around one idea: the whole team should be able to work on the same backend without getting in each other's way. Here's what shipped: An improved content editing experience. Native draft and publishing workflows built into the core. AI-assisted translations. Scale across languages with schema scaffolding handled for you. Granular access control for AI. Agents act on behalf of real users with the right permissions applied. Oh...and we launched a new website (what up .com!), clarified our license with the new Open Innovation Grant, and completely revamped our documentation today too.

With the raise of AI and how it's changing the way we work I wonder if people is still interested in consuming content to learn new things (videos, articles, conferences, courses) 🤔

As I have mentioned a few times already, we still need GREAT ENGINEERS. At @directus we are looking for Senior Rust engineers 🦀 Check out this opportunity to work with a phenomenal team 👇 directus.io/careers/senior-b…

Join our team, it's fun!!!
