🤩 From Generation to Composition: A New Era in AI Coding🤩
AI code generators excel in benchmarks but often fall short in the real world. Why haven’t they revolutionized development? Because they generate code snippets that lack context, duplicate functionality, require manual integration, and can introduce errors.
This talk presents a new approach to code generation that reuses existing code, follows company standards, tests for impact, and generates fully executable components ready for integration.

🤩 React Metaframeworks Behind the Magic🤩
Metaframeworks bring a lot of innovative concepts to the table with the purpose of simplifying our DX when building web applications. These days with Nextjs\Remix\Tanstack, getting a website up and running has never been easier.
But… Magic isn’t free- this DX comes with tradeoffs. Tradeoffs which we must be aware of while developing.
Alongside the magic there is a set of limitations- http requests modifications, error management, server components and server actions allowed data types- and more.
The goal of this talk is to shed light over React's inner workings and architectural choices so we can enjoy the magic and also understand it's guidelines.
