It was such a pleasure to share a stage with @cybette.bsky.social at #OpenSearchCon, and even more so to share the work of the #Docling team and how it can be integrated with #OpenSearch. Check out the video of the talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUJ...

I'm simultaneously proud and ashamed. Ashamed to find out that I've been using a password from a data breach for my RubyGems account. I have 2FA enabled too, don't worry! But seriously 🤦‍♂️ I am proud though, because I know that this feature used my pwned gem (rubygems.org/gems/pwned) to check.

Remember that article "Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up"? mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the... Turns out the observations were too early. App releases are on the up! I just spotted this graph of iOS app releases. Domains are ticking up too.

Cumulative Layout Shift has finally been recognised by sketch comedy, thanks to SNL UK. youtu.be/YQYtnkvMtL4?...

Just popping to Shanghai for a few days 🛫

Congratulations to everyone who has worked on Temporal to get it to this stage. And hooray for all the developers that can confidently use Temporal in their apps and never deal with Date again! 🎉

Nothing amuses me more than asking LLMs for a joke. Because they are so so bad at them. Today's I asked for a joke about sausage dogs: "Why don't sausage dogs ever play hide and seek? Because good luck hiding when everyone knows they're always being "sausage-ed" in the park!"

All my tips for giving better presentations are condensed into one five minute musical lightning talk at www.kryogenix.org/days/2022/10... :-)

I've written a post containing some tips for giving better presentations! None of these tips can replace great content, but they will help you start strong and keep the energy going all the way through to the applause at the end. philna.sh/blog/2026/03... Do you have any more tips to share?

My coding agent is using console.log debugging and I've never felt more validated.

I updated an npm package to publish using @npmjs.bsky.social /@github.com trusted publishing, but it took me a few goes to get it right. These are the things that I needed to do to get trusted publishing to work for me: philna.sh/blog/2026/01...

A React app that has a useEffect that listens to the window resize event and returns whether the screen is mobile or not so that different images can be displayed? These are the lengths that React developers will go to to avoid learning about the <img> tag's sizes and srcset.

Discovered the contact form on my website was broken and ended up learning how to set up trusted publishing to npm. So that was quite the rabbit hole of an evening.

Hurrah for Temporal now shipping in Chrome! Better update this blog post already.

I really enjoy speaking at conferences and trying to share what I've learned. It's really nice to be recognised by @sessionize.com for doing it quite a lot. I guess I need to get some talks accepted for 2026 now!

On 9 January 2026 mine and my family's lives changed forever. I tell the full story in this video: youtu.be/mNEPSWcOheY If you want to support my family as well as our local community, consider sharing this post, or donating here: www.gofundme.com/f/we-lost-al...

Wrote a new blog post. This is the story of how I tried to add one month to a JavaScript date and discovered the result was 9 months earlier. Yes, the problem was time zones. Even though the time didn't matter. philna.sh/blog/2026/01...

Excited to see the AI Engineer conference is coming to Melbourne next year! webdirections.org/ai-engineer/

This might be the simplest Langflow flow I've ever built, but it's still really cool. It uses Docling to parse PDFs and return Markdown. You can choose between Docling's standard pipeline, using OCR and other models, or use a vision language model. And you get great results!

I built a @langflow.org workflow and bookmarklet to help me summarise and categorise articles for the AI++ newsletter. It saves me time, so I thought you might like to see how I built it. www.langflow.org/blog/langflo...

Ever wanted to build your own coding agent? I just built one in @langflow.org using 3 components and 2 MCP servers. Sure, it's no Cursor, Codex or Claude Code, but it's a start! See how to build your own here: www.langflow.org/blog/ai-codi...

Just had a cold call from an AI career coach. It refused to coach me on how to bake a pie, even though I emphasized that it would both help with stress and improving my career. Kept it on the line for 4 minutes before the AI decided it no longer wanted to speak to me.

Power cut on my street. I can’t prove it, but it feels like this has something to do with us-east-1.

Hey! Did you know you can expose your Langflow flows as MCP servers? It's as easy as: 1. Create flow 2. Get MCP server details and install in MCP client 3. There is no step 3 Or in more detail: www.langflow.org/blog/build-m...

We will be having a friend visiting London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @philna.sh in two weeks giving a talk on #WEBAI builtin browser that is brilliant! Register now lnkd.in/dG28rb9Z

This view doesn’t get old.

📣 @langflow.org 1.6 has been released 📣 There's a bunch of new features that will help you build incredible AI-powered applications, including: 🔐 OAuth for MCP 🤝 OpenAI responses API compatibility 📄 Docling-powered parsing 👀 Traceloop observability 🎨 Better UX

Ooh, I got a new email! 😐

After 2 days of conference and 2 days of hackathon, I’m on my way home 🛫 from @cascadiajs.com. It was a pleasure and a privilege to get to keynote, and to spend the event meeting so many people. I’m tired but so happy to have been a part of the events. 😃😴

It’s @carter.rabasa.com kicking off the largest @cascadiajs.com ever!

It’s @cascadiajs.com time! It’s going to be a great day of web, AI, and most importantly meeting people. Come say hi at the @langflow.org booth and grab stickers or t-shirts!

I knew this week was going to be good as I’m on my way to @cascadiajs.com , but starting with a business upgrade on my MEL-LAX flight is just a wonderful start. 😊

Just 1 hour until AI-Driven Development Day kicks off!🚀 Join experts @danielkelly.io, @kentcdodds.com, @tej.as @debbie.codes, @jpschroeder.com, @philna.sh, @mosaid.bsky.social, Garrison Snelling & Benedikt Stemmidlt for a day of AI-powered dev insights! 👉 Sign up to join: aidd.io/ai-driven-de...

Got stuck debugging something on Friday. Kick off Monday and I fixed it. By asking a coding agent. Really could have left the week with a win, but at least I'm starting with one!

Oh sure, we've got assistants in all the IDEs and terminals now, but when I write `mdkir new-project` do they help? No, they just laugh mercilessly until I type it out correctly myself.

I built an alt text generator with @langflow.org and @nextjs.org. Alt text isn't something that an LLM will get right first time, so I tried to build this application to be collaborative, with space to guide the model and edit the result. Can collaborating with AI help accessibility?

I wrote up a quick post on how you can use the new OpenAI in Langflow. Get experimenting with the new models now! www.langflow.org/blog/openai-...

Wow, I must be important. I've been an IBM employee for less than a week and already the CEO is asking me for help.

What are the things your coding agent says that make you worry that the vibe coding session isn't going well? I'll go first: "I see the file is now corrupted. Let me fix it by rewriting the entire file:"

Back to work after a 3 week holiday and immediately the internet at home goes out. Guess it's time to make coffee already.

Only from the BBC 😅

Ooh look! I’m speaker of the day on @sessionize.com sessionize.com/speakers-dir...

Holiday vibes

Hello London!

How do you keep up with news on how to build with AI? This week the @langflow.org team rebooted the AI++ newsletter and send a new edition. It's full of articles and code for building with #AI, #Agents and #MCP. 👀 Check it out and subscribe! langflow.kit.com/posts/ai-ema...

If you're in Sydney and interested in AI/MCP you need to get down to this event.

@philna.sh MCing on the #JSNation stage 🎤

After a phenomenal time at @jsnation.gitnation.org and @reactsummit.gitnation.org I’m on my way back to Australia. So happy to have caught up with many friends and met many more new ones.

Learning about the new built-in AI APIs in Chrome from @tomayac.com. He’s popped open dev tools and is coding it all live. #JSNation @jsnation.gitnation.org
