    Episode 148 - Moar AI Coding

    It has been a little while… but I am back! and as ever, the subject is AI - of course it is! This one became (unintentionally!) a bit of a weekend ramble… Some links from the podcast: GitHub Copilot - get all of the main AI models in one place and for $10 :) Traycer AI - Sure, VS Code and other platforms all have skills and planning mode, but Traycer goes a wee bit further… VS Code AI Toolkit - Seriously, the stuff you can do here and play around with is awesome! Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions. Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here! Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?): https://www.youtube.com/@justfifteenmins but don’t worry, no ugly face to worry about (yet!).

    Episode 147 - Javascript Frameworks vs Web Components

    The ebb and flow… “this is great”… “this is bad…” the neverending movement. Well, there isn’t anything wrong with Javascript frameworks… use what you need and what you love. However, given the modern state of Javascript (and Typescript if that is your thing), do you really need the frameworks? What about just plain web components? web components have been around for years and so has LIT (link here) to help build web components (reactive and all that good stuff). LIT is really just a small library (not a framework) weighing in at just 5kb. Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon.

    Episode 145 - Vibe Coding and then what?

    So, where is all of this vibe coding taking us? Serious question, and I am not knocking the whole vibe coding thing - it does really does help anyone build apps, but what kind of apps? and how are they working in production/live? Some links from the show: Lovable Replit Google Antigravity - actually, it is a downloadable app… I might have mixed up Google Firebase studio! :) which, in turn, is probably Windsurf now Google own it :) Hey, this is a free podcast.
