Good ole @danielroe.dev rocking the stage as always. He is probably one of the nicest persons I know and he also gives great talks and is incredibly talented. Good person to know 😉

Testing in the AI era is evolving fast. Carl & Richard talk with @debbie.codes about how LLMs help build and validate tests, improve workflows with Playwright, and even read your documentation. Great conversation on keeping quality high as AI enters the toolchain. www.dotnetrocks.com/details/2011

😂😂 thats fine. Normally in the past i would go through the tutorial myself over a few days then ask a few friends to do it normally over a call and see if they were successful. But using AI really helps in ensuring students can be successful at getting through the tutorial. 🤷‍♀️

I had to re-create my slides for talk next week after my saving them to the cloud failed. So I used goose coding agent to read the transcript from my recorded talk and create some slides for me which it surprising did. In reveal.js and they are really good. And it took minutes.

I was trying (and failing 😅) to install the Goose CLI on macOS. Everything looked correct… but the goose command just wouldn’t work. Instead of spending hours debugging Zsh configs and PATH issues, I let Gooese help. Check it out: youtu.be/fk6S4yLxzYU?...
