Leaving @cityjsconf.bsky.social with nothing but gratitude. I was able to hang out with very cool people, got inspired a lot and had amazing conversations (sadly forgot to take a selfie from my talk).

On my way back, I also had a nice surprise upgrade to business class (thanks Turkish Airlines) so I can say my overall experience was reminding me how lucky and grateful I am to do this job! 🙌🙌 @maxedapps.bsky.social @francescociulla.bsky.social @erasmo.dev

I promised you many cool things. Here's the first one: a feature on my website that almost nobody will use. 😀 salih.dev now has eight WebMCP tools. I asked Codex where I'm speaking next. It called three tools and answered without reading the HTML. dev.to/aws/making-m...

Heading to Athens for one of my favorite conferences, @cityjsconf.bsky.social Greece 🇬🇷 I'll show how to build a multi-agent game master setup with TypeScript, and I have gifts for cool questions. Around and want to chat? I'm in Athens until Saturday!

It's been a while since I posted here. Since September it's been trips, conferences, workshops, and some personal stuff too. So, I'll share a short update every day, event by event. 🧵

To celebrate, I ran the Berlin Marathon (yes, 42.2km) and then went to Oktoberfest with my friends 😄

Next up: some cool content I'm working on, plus the first event from September. Stay tuned.

I've been giving a talk called "It's Dangerous to Code Alone" at conferences this year. People kept asking me to write my learnings down. So I did. Every example comes from the prompts that I created for a link-sharing platform that I built. Want to know more? 👇 builder.aws.com/content/3Hjs...

Most people talk to AI like they're texting a friend. Then wonder why results are not matching what they have in mind. How you talk to AI matters. Using markdown, caps, headers, negative prompts. The AI reads structure like a human reads tone. New video explaining how 👇

My domain sat unused for months because "rebuilding a website" felt like a weekend project. Yesterday I wrote specs for what I wanted, handed them to GPT 5.6 Sol with Astro, and had a working site in 60 minutes. Code and walkthrough in thread 🧵

Built an app that roasts your World Cup team after they get eliminated during my talk @wearedevelopers.bsky.social AI writes eulogies, generates roasts, and mediates so you don't go too far. Tried to demo it live at WeAreDevelopers. But no chance at first shot. github.com/salihgueler/...

Modern TDD can be hard to implement when we spend too much time wrestling with infrastructure mocks and unclear requirements. I wrote a blog post on using AI to generate spes that drive your tests and implementation. I take you through 🧵

- Closing the loop with cloud-based integration testing using CDK. By making the specs the "source of truth," you ensure your documentation never goes out of date and your edge cases are covered before you write a single line of business logic. Curious to know more?

I’ve been experimenting with local LLMs on iOS and Android to automate tasks. By luck, I saw the discussion on HN about the same topic as well about the Google AI Edge Gallery app. I wanted to ask, if you all are running your models locally and if so what are your device specs?

It has been 4 weeks since Ricardo Sueiras and I started the livestream series called "Fullstack for Noobs". We are building a game live over Twitch, YouTube and LinkedIn by using Kiro and discussing a lot of technical points to build this game. (1/3)

We also give tips and tricks on how to use the AI assistants properly. When do we go live? Tuesdays and Thursdays 13:30 CET. So you can join during or right after your lunch (or dinner depending on where you are) to learn more about it. (2/3)
