When I joined @elevenlabs.io three months ago, I didn't expect the autonomy and mandate for change to ship a major version bump in a package with 300K weekly downloads 🤯 I'm really proud of this release!

ElevenLabs@elevenlabs.io

Introducing ElevenAgents React SDK v1.0 A re-architecture of the JavaScript and React SDK to include granular hooks, a unified API across web and React Native, and a stable public API. These changes improve both the developer experience and performance for your end users.

Imagine the loss of confidence when some kid tries to build this for the third time 😢 what a shame ...

Spotted at my kid's kindergarten today. AI slop is slowly making its way into my kids lives via adults that lack critical thinking, and I hate it. "Building Instructions Age 3-6"

Tried agentic coding via the #claude connector in #xcode - can't say I'm impressed 🙄 Would expect editing project files as the primary use-case for choosing a built-in xcode experience over just editing source files in another editor / agent harness.

That feeling when you accept defeat and trash your starved out #sourdough. Bittersweet as it also frees up mental space and eliminates the reminder of your carelessness, every time you open the fridge to see the corpse of what you once hoped would bring your family fresh bread on a weekly basis ...

For a service with very complicated entities where the schema for an "update" call would overwhelm the LLM, I'm contemplating breaking it into more focused tools for each of the less complicated parameters of that update which are arguably more focused to the "job to be done".

I've been writing #TypeScript professionally for many years now ... And I Was Today Years Old When I Realised that #TypeScript private members are class and not instance scoped 🫠

Voice agents are more than speech in, speech out. Luke Farrell has recently talked to @kraenhansen.dk about perceived latency, turn-taking, interruption handling, and the tradeoff between speed and expressiveness. Watch their conversation ⬇️ clstk.com/4v3o7iK

clstk.comHow Voice Agents Handle Latency, Turn-Taking, and Safety With Kræn HansenKræn Hansen (ElevenLabs) talks voice-agent UX, from turn-taking and safety to layered SDK design for React and React Native.

Voice Changer transforms any speech into a different voice while preserving the original timing, emotion, and delivery. Send an audio file to our API and get back the same performance in a new voice, ready for character work, localization, or fixing lines in post.

I've always enjoyed pair programming as a way to spend time with my colleagues and collaborators, while building something useful. As assisted software engineering is moving up the chain of abstraction, I'm wondering if "Pair Planning" is going to be a thing?

11k people are using the ElevenLabs MCP server in Claude. It connects to your ElevenLabs account and lets you generate speech, sound effects, and music directly in Claude. All the friction of generating audio with ElevenLabs is gone.

If your data and language model live on the device, why should the app need a network round trip to interact with them? @psyche.social & @kraenhansen.dk talk about: 🔹 local-first software 🔹 mobile security practices like certificate pinning 🔹 voice AI and real engineering stories Listen now 🎧

I'm wondering if we shouldn't start formalizing a move of the review process "up the chain"? Reviewing code is largely decoupled from the plan which generated it and incorporating architectural feedback on a PR largely generated feels more like passing messages between prisoners 😬

I've been used to relaxing while coding ... And the excitement of hitting a flow state of mind, was what got me addicted to all of this. I'm unsure if I'll ever get to experience either again.

Tune in to the latest episode of React Universe on Air where @psyche.social‬ and I have a jolly conversation about a mixed bag of topics dear to my heart 💙 #local-first, #ai powered toys for my kids, #hacking my bank, #stoicism and #parenting to name a few 😂

Callstack@callstack.com

Some of the best tech stories start at home. Local-first software, security trade-offs, and thoughtful AI discussed through real experience. New React Universe On Air episode with @psyche.social and Kræn Hansen coming soon. YouTube premiere link below👇

@elevenlabs.io just announced raising $500M at an $11B valuation to transform how people interact with technology 🎉 Valuation doubling since I signed my contract ... coincidence? I think not 🤔 This place has so much talent and so much potential and I'm really happy to be a part of the journey!
