React Native developer, I like to make my own products
I had a great time talking at the Callstack AI meetup!
Still wrestling with generic tools for your dev workflow? It's time to build your own.
In this talk from our AI Meetup, @raf.dev shows you how to create custom, AI-powered tools like a personal slide generator with React and an AI dev notebook with Astro ➡️ youtu.be/MWGeGtIhf7o?...

Tomorrow I'm giving a small talk about how to get hired as a software eng in 2025. I built my self a slide presentation webapp, and I can get Claude Code to automatically generate images for the slides for me using the OpenAI API. This is so much better than Keynote.

I recently switched from Cursor to Claude Code and I like it way more. I'm a terminal person who uses Vim, and I didn't want to go back to VSCode for AI coding. Let me tell you what I like about Claude Code. 🧵

I've been thinking a lot about the future of software developer jobs. I wonder what's going to happen.
On one hand there's going to be a lot of pressure to produce more.
But on the other hand, AI gives developers a lot of power and freedom to build whatever they want.

Amazon developers saying that their work is starting to resemble warehouse work.
I think that's going to be a sad outcome of AI tools, and I hope people recognize they can go towards more fun and creative programming careers now.
