#datasette — Public Fediverse posts

🎙️ New Talking Postgres podcast Ep42 is out!

With guest Simon Willison @simon (an #OpenSource developer, co-creator of #Django, & creator of #Datasette) on how AI is changing software development.

We covered a LOT of territory, this was so much fun, including:
-- why Simon's test for shipping AI-generated code is “Could I explain this to somebody else?”
-- how engineering management skills can be surprisingly useful when managing AI agents
-- how the bottleneck is no longer writing code but understanding it.
-- Also: personal credibility, deep research, the Winchester Mystery House, slop proxies, and Simon’s observation that “Features are cheap. That doesn’t mean you should build them all.”

Listen here (& if you enjoy it, which I think you will, be sure to tell your developer friends):

Nur, damit ihr mal eine Ahnung habt, womit ich meine Jugend verbracht habe. Um nur einige Begriffe zu nennen. Könnt ihr gerne vervollständigen.😍

Datasette has launched a new Apps plugin, allowing users to host custom HTML and JavaScript applications directly within a sandboxed iframe.

These apps can run SQL queries against your data, making it incredibly easy to build custom interfaces on top of your self-hosted datasets without leaving the ecosystem.

Oh joy, just what we needed: more HTML apps that can nestle inside #Datasette like digital Russian dolls 🤹‍♂️. Because, clearly, unifying identity with #Teleport wasn’t enough excitement for one day. 🚀 Next up: how to put a toaster inside your fridge for maximum efficiency! 🥳
