    Episode 149 - Get Yo Skills

    You need skills… from making coffee (decent coffee at least!) to whatever you do in your day job. Skills for AI has been introduced by the claude folks Anthropic. Skills are really useful and powerful, and in essence, just a set of folders in your code project (but not limited to code! could be a folder for marketing and what not). You can define certain aspects, detailed specifications including code/text/document snippets. What really makes skills efficient is they a progressively loaded as needed. None of this massive context window chomping through your AI subscription tokens! Anyway, further info below in the links: Skills, Instructions and Moar Anthropic Skills Info Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions. Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here! Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?): https://www.youtube.com/@justfifteenmins but don’t worry, no ugly face to worry about (yet!).

    Episode 148 - Moar AI Coding

    It has been a little while… but I am back! and as ever, the subject is AI - of course it is! This one became (unintentionally!) a bit of a weekend ramble… Some links from the podcast: GitHub Copilot - get all of the main AI models in one place and for $10 :) Traycer AI - Sure, VS Code and other platforms all have skills and planning mode, but Traycer goes a wee bit further… VS Code AI Toolkit - Seriously, the stuff you can do here and play around with is awesome!

  3. Episode 147 - Javascript Frameworks vs Web Components

    Episode 147 - Javascript Frameworks vs Web Components

    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. Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon.

    Episode 145 - Vibe Coding and then what?

    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 :) Hey, this is a free podcast.

  8. Episode 142 - Agents Agents MCP and A2A

    Episode 142 - Agents Agents MCP and A2A

    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!
