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

On the residents track at #JSNation we’re learning about Long Animation Frames (LoAF 🍞🍞🍞🍞) and how to use it to improve INP. And we’re hitting our metrics for time to first performance talk. @jsnation.gitnation.org

The MC team is ready for @jsnation.gitnation.org! #JSNation

The one sentence pattern that makes me stop reading an article immediately: "In the fast-paced world of software development..." "In today's data-driven world..." "In the fast-paced world of the digital age..."

This has to be the easiest way to set up AI voice agents. Twilio ConversationRelay 🤝 Langflow blog.langflow.org/ai-phone-cal...

It's @jsnation.gitnation.org week and I am looking forward to a great event! Just got to get to Amsterdam from Melbourne first. Who else is going?

PSA: if you're working with Node.js, don't use undici and expect it to work with the built in FormData object. You've got to go full undici, or fight unhelpful errors until you realise what you've done.

It may look like I’m praying to the demo gods, but I’m really just looking way up at the steep sitting arrangements and the audience up above me!

Actually making it to a talk for a change, seeing if @philna.sh can make my life easier teaching us how to build an AI agent at @ndcconferences.com

It’s so awesome to be here in Oslo and be just a small part of @ndcconferences.com Oslo. Look at this place!

Here comes a busy couple of weeks! Right now I’m about to take off for San Francisco and Twilio SIGNAL where I’m giving a workshop on building AI email agents. Then it’s on to @ndcconferences.com Oslo for more workshops and talks!

Vector search and keyword search and reranking makes your search more accurate with almost no effort*. I've written up a post on how to build with hybrid search in Python using Astra DB: www.datastax.com/blog/improve... *Ok, it's a little bit of effort, but the database does most of the work!

Have you heard about @firebase.com Genkit? It's an open-source framework for building and testing AI features in TypeScript. It's got a great interface for working with models, flows, prompts, indexers, and retrievers. Today we announced the Astra DB plugin for Genkit.

Took a little step outside the comfort zone today and published a @datastax.dev blog post in Python. Here's several ways you can create vector embeddings for all your RAG needs in Python: www.datastax.com/blog/how-to-...

Last week was Langflow launch week, a whole bunch of new features to help you build AI agents, including: ⚡️ Full support for MCP (client & server) 💾 File systems & data pipeline improvements 🎙️ Voice mode 🕸️ New GraphRAG component blog.langflow.org/langflow-lau...

JavaScript dates are playing April fools jokes on me 😖

It’s Langflow launch week! New features to make building agents better and easier. What do you want to see? blog.langflow.org/announcing-l...

Sometimes I look down while working and this silly girl is just looking right up at me. 😍

This is fun! @sonicdmg.bsky.social built an app using Langflow and image generation models that creates a personalised CodeBeast based on your @github.com profile. Mine came out looking pretty happy and cute!

Vibe coding is great for building low stakes, personal projects, says @simonwillison.net: simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/19/.... Makes sense 🙂‍↕️ Meanwhile, a Y Combinator start up looks for a vibe coder to work 12-15 hours a day on automated debt collection 🙃 www.ycombinator.com/companies/do...

So this is cool, Astra DB is already good at vector search, now it's getting lexical search and reranking, powered by NVIDIA. You can combine vector and lexical search into a hybrid search that, with reranking, means more relevant results and better RAG. Check it out here: dtsx.io/3Foy6uZ

If you've got an MCP client (Claude desktop, Cursor, etc) you can now have it interact with @datastax.dev Astra DB. Check out the MCP server that @tej.as built for it. www.datastax.com/blog/astra-d...

Another blog post from me to close out the week: www.datastax.com/blog/five-ge... This is all about what @datastax.dev Astra DB can do for your GenAI app. It's more than just basic vector search, it's integrations, performance and even generating vectors for you.

New blog post for anyone using Langflow to build genAI apps. Here’s how to stream responses from the Langflow API in Node.js www.datastax.com/blog/how-to-...

Oh yeah, if your programming language is so good, can it parse integers out of emoji? www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com/blog/parsein...

What I love about working in the AI space is that sometimes I see a summary of a paper and I think, "I understand most of that, let's take a look" and then it's just wall to wall mathematical symbols. 😵‍💫
