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.

Okay, it might sound a bit sad recording a JFM on Christmas day, but there we go :)

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 :)

Well, more agent stuff then! but what are you all doing with these AI agents?

Open AI just released agent builder. If you believe their documentation, codex (their coding AI offering) wrote 80% of the agent builder itself… if that is indeed true, it is rather amazing.

However, building out agent solutions other than hobby projects or small PoC’s, is probably more involved. That is where A2A protocol comes in from Google. Along with MCP (model context protocol), it provides a complimentary protocol to handle the authorisation/authentication and so on between agents.

Anyway, take a listen for more!

Who doesn’t like FREE ?

Well, JetBrains (the folks who created WebStorm, PyCharm and Rider etc.) have now released one of my favourite database management tools free; DataGrip.

Free for non-commercial use, but what a great tool to get across. So many different databases you can connect to not to mention a more lovely experience connecting to SAP HANA :)

Okay, a little experiment. Okay, I have been researching how LLMs work with vectors and how AI search works for a while now. But rather than me warble on for a while (and more than 5 mins!), I have tried an AI approach to explain the research ;)

In fairness, I did listen back to this, and personally I was quite impressed. The explanation about quantization methods was particularly useful.

If vectors, AI search and quantization mean nothing to you - take a listen :)
