Providing context for AI agents is the latest generation of making the mistake of doing the computers work for it.

@jamonholmgren And here I am writing regexs to parse AI responses 🙃

Whole classes of cases where we use regex could probably just be replaced by AI.

@Steam I would like to give you lots of money to purchase some Steam Decks in bulk. Unfortunately, I'm being told this isn't possible. Any chance to get some help with this?

@bbeldame Nocode is in every generation of technology. This is the Web 2.0 version. It is a vital part of the lifecycle of a technology. It brings capabilities of the technology to those that can't afford custom development. It is just getting started, but not the end of the story.

@brechtbilliet @ManfredSteyer @mgechev @jeffbcross @victorsavkin Importing components like React and others would be neat to see in Angular. But if we are keep template based references then the prefix also helps ensure that components and directives don’t conflict with w3c naming standards.

I'm wondering if #angular prefixes for component and directive selectors are still relevant when using standalone components. What do you think @ManfredSteyer @mgechev @jeffbcross @victorsavkin ?

@jelbourn I've been a big fan for some time. But it is still hard to convince purchasers who are only looking at a feature comparison chart :(

@ericsimons40 Libraries such as Angular Material come to mind as a good example. They are already architected so that the consumer supplies the native elements for the purposes of a11y. Additionally, their careful choices of what components NOT to make are well done.

@ericsimons40 The element that we would attach such an onClick to is not exposed to the consumer. We have to find it at run-time with a query selector and hope the internal implementation of the library doesn't change over time.

Note to future component library authors. The bar has moved again. A good component library must also include tooling for telemetry.

I believe the industry, in aggregate, is just now at the point with tools such as React and Angular that they are able to consider the need for front-end telemetry implementations. Unfortunately, this need is arriving after third-party component sets have stabilized.

@ericsimons40 One random example...We have a third-party grid with an Excel export button. Our client wants to know how often that export operation occurs. We have to hack around to get a hook on the user press.

@TheEvergreenDev Interesting… what kind of component telemetry tooling are you seeing in the wild? And what purpose(s) is it being used for?

@mikecallaghan IMO, the better we get at writing code, the more we realize software isn't really what solves real problems.

Why does it seem that the more experience you have with software development, the less they want you to do of it?

Are any of my #Angular friends hiding out #AWE2022 this year?

@saniyusuf Spoiler Alert! 😡

@JediBravery @NgXP_Show I had a blast hanging out with y'all. Thanks for having me!

All I want to do is code!... But working with a difficult boss can add some seriously unwanted stress & distraction @TheEvergreenDev came on @NgXP_Show to share his tips & advice for how to positively deal w/ difficult bosses & get back to the code 💥 🦊 spoti.fi/3wDoLIN

@mkristensen Prettier support in the box

If you could add a new Visual Studio 2022 feature, what would it be?

NX Console also received a nice facelift since I used it last. The generator interface is 🔥. Loving the terminal dry-run preview.

@NxDevTools Also, per project library config files 🤩 I was able to rescope a few libraries with only a mild irritation. I would have normally given up and lived with my earlier bad decisions.

@NxDevTools I haven't written NG code in a while. Why didn't ya'll tell me the tooling has gotten so much more robust. I've been slinging lazy-loaded features all morning and haven't had to restart the editor or CLI once!
