This is our first live recording (with other people) ever!

Kent C Dodds welcomes us to his Epic Web Conf to interview some of the speakers.

We go into the dynamic landscape of developer tools and community engagement, reflecting on the evolution of DevRel roles with insights from industry experts. We also explore the profound influence of AI on creativity, discussing the ethical implications and the fusion of technology with artistic expression.

This week we have Maggie Appleton, a designer and developer who is working on a new research tool called Elicit. Maggie is a masterful visual storyteller and has been creating images that are both beautiful and informative for years. She is also a proponent of Digital Gardening, a new way of building a personal website that is both beautiful and informative. We talk about how we should be building AI into our apps, and how we can use the power of local first development to make our apps more accessible to everyone.

This week we have Johannes Schickling, the founder and former CEO of Prisma. We talk about what he's been up to in the last few years and what he envisions for the future of software development. He is a contributor to the Effect library which is a new way to write asynchronous code in TypeScript. We also talk about the rise of local first development, how it's changing the way we build software, and how he's using it to build his new app Overtone.
