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. ❤️

This is exactly why @EntireHQ has my full attention.
“I don’t prompt Claude anymore. my job is to write loops.”
Devs are getting the ick from this practice because it takes the human out the loop
If we're building systems that prompt agents for us, visibility becomes non-negotiable.
Here's my strategy to get that visibility 👇

The future of developer communities is more in-person.
Sounds counterintuitive when everything is moving digital, and AI can generate unlimited content. But that's exactly why. When content costs zero to produce, the value of content approaches zero. When AI can send hundreds of cold DMs a day, the value of a human message goes up.
The scarce thing becomes the valuable thing. Right now, the scarce thing is a real person giving you their time. That's never going away.
If anything, it's getting rarer and more valuable.

This talk on compostable APIs by @darius_cepulis absolutely captivated me!
Choosing the right abstraction is often challenging, but I agree that composition is a powerful and effective strategy. Darius described this incredibly well across different examples.

The most practical CSS talk on color tokens, theming, and color functions by @jdsteinbach for us at @CascadiaJS!
I have some refactoring to do to simplify my CSS now. 👏

“Developers are going to be more needed in the future, not less.”
@biilmann not just saying what we want to hear, but backing it up with a slick breakdown of Agent Experience (AX) design.
Devs are needed to build this, creating good AX alongside traditional DX.

Great examples: Netlify’s CLI worked well for devs, but broke down for agents trying to pipe bash commands into the interactive wizard/workflow.
Just adding one line of instruction - how to perform the desired action in a single shell command - fixed the agent experience.

Fascinating talk by @biilmann, starting with what AI enables us to do differently.
At Netlify, they built tools instead of buying them, which created budget to hire more devs & continue the cycle.
I’m a big fan of building bespoke tools that fit our unique processes. 🔥

I have to share this with anyone that shops at @amazon before they make the same mistake.
My order for a $5,100 mower 7 weeks ago was NOT delivered - their order status claims it was while FedEx confirmed otherwise - and after weeks of calls to Amazon, they promised a refund was being issued two weeks ago.
Today, their executive customer service walked that back and said they are unable to issue a refund. They asked for documentation which I already provided from FedEx.
Lesson: be careful what you order from Amazon. Small stuff is easy to return but if it’s a freight package, you may be rolling the dice.
I don’t know what else to do. 😣
