AI Show + Share Recap

Had a good first informal AI Show + Share yesterday. I think for any future ones if there's interest I'll split into two different tracks:

• Topics for software folks and what's working well for building (engineers, designers, PMs, etc)
• Topics for non technical folks but who might want some input from or discussion with some of us who live in the technical weeds.

Summary recap:

• I talked about my experience and how impressed I am with github's speckit framework for spec driven development, and Matt Lievertz discussed his lighter weight approach for spec driven development

• Jeff Wraley showed off what he was building in Lovable as a non technical founder and how he was doing his first real merge request using Devin

• Justin Lacey discussed how he was trying to find the right balance of prototyping vs. engineer hand off and how the role of front end engineers are evolving now and what might need to change - and whether the prototype should become the actual MVP

• Francois-Xavier 'FX' Jammes discussed exploring automation of workflows generally and we discussed as a group whether we were seeing more "brownfield" automation of existing work vs. "greenfield" workflows where AI makes things feasible that weren't before - the group seemed to agree that greenfield workflows have a lot of opportunity that may be under-discussed.

Thanks to all who could make it!
