Is anyone using MIDI controllers in their IDE? As a DJ this always made a lot of sense to me but with all the new AI workflows (suggestions, reviews, …) I want this modality more than ever.

I loved this conversation with Seph! He worked on Google Wave over 10 years ago which was a huge inspiration for me. Seph also recently published the eg-walker paper which we also talk about.

Took me two weeks to write 100 lines of C. Sure, I wrote a few thousand lines to test it and pages of conversation, but most of my time was spent understanding, not writing. Reminder that *writing* code is a tiny minority of the time we spend on “programming.”

Local-first development is still evolving and may not suit every startup, but it offers real benefits. We asked @prisma.io founder and startup advisor @schickling.dev for his thoughts on its opportunities and why startup founders should consider local-first. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Had a wonderful chat with Adam Wulf who's behind the inspiring local-first Muse. We talked about what it takes to build software as a "team of one" and other local-first related topics including analytics and the Apple ecosystem.

With AI agents on the horizon, we'll need better authn/authz primitives to grant access to agents in a fine-granular way beyond just "Login with Google". Who is doing interesting work in this regard?

Super excited to announce that local-first conf is back for a 2 day conference in Berlin! Based on all the great feedback for last year, we've decided to extend the conference to 2 full days of talks covering the latest technologies and ideas in local-first. See you there!

Increasingly impressed how Cursor/AI isn't just making me more productive but helps resolve non-trivial bugs with ease. Yesterday, I was facing a gnarly memory corruption bug in a SQLite WASM build. Cursor with GPT4o one-shotted the solution.

What's the closest equivalent for Jupyter notebooks for TypeScript developers? Use case: I'd like some kind of markdown files where I can import/reference TypeScript definitions e.g. to document/plan my application architecture. This should also serve as context for AIs.

Building a sync engine is like a HIT workout for your brain. Last time I experienced this level of mental intensity was studying numbers theory in university. 😵‍💫 I kind of like it though.

Fascinating conversation about apps vs files. Very relevant in the context of local-first.

“Craft’s truth emerges only through the friction of material engagement.” This piece by Ryo poetically captures the nature of my journey through the last 4 years crafting both Overtone and LiveStore. Must read for any creative out there! 10/10 ryolu.notion.site/how-to-make-...

Are there some resources on good Otel trace design? Specifically I'm interested in how to model advanced use cases like streaming, multi-thread processing, UI application sessions etc.
