Hello World
It’s the classic sterotype: the car mechanic’s car is beat up, rusted, barely running, and in need of repair. As a tech worker, I should definitely be able to have a website dedicated to my work and have it showcasing the tip-toppiest, shiniest, brightest, and best frontend framework out there. As I am not a frontend developer anymore, I don’t really have a big desire to wow and captivate with moving CSS tricks and subtle JS pulses, so I chose Astro (with the help of LLM Research to host my content. Seems zippy so far.
This page will link to all of my content that is cast into the public throughout the years; mainly videos, some articles, and perhaps I can actually do the thing where people write thoughts into a blog thing. I can barely even do a bluesky, so it’s not likely. But you never know.
Currently I’m exploring the LangChain DeepAgents framework. I created a simple demo with the Elastic Agent Builder protocol to perform deep research on popular frameworks and emerging technologies. Want to compare two open source repos and just get the nuts and bolts and metrics? Want to get a thought-out, prescriptive report of what technology to watch in the coming months? It does that. Whether or not it has the actual validity in its assertions has yet to be seen, but I’ve been keeping every report it generates so I can check in on it.
I gave a talk last week at one of our meetups and had an audience member elect two technologies: Kafka and Kinesis. A report was generated and I was quite pleased to see that it gave valid critiques, sound observations, and even touched on the concerns that the audience member shared. The fact that it was able to share those on its own without interaction from us gave it some clout to me and the people attending. I’m excited to continue working on it!
And as I alluded to above, I tasked it with finding a “simple, efficient, clean framework that prioritizes speed and performance over heavy javascript componentry.” Kudos to the LLM for understanding componentry, or at least ignoring it.
Give it a try and let me know via PR/Issues what you think:
