What I'm working on
Let's Vision talk, RocketSim 15.0, and a new Agent Skill
Yes, I've had a busy week!
This Wednesday, I'll be flying towards Shanghai to present my talk "What 15 Years of Coding Didn’t Prepare Me For: Agent-Driven Development". Besides preparing slides and animations, I'm working hard on the next RocketSim release.
This week's article showcases a video of that release already, but it's essentially a major release with many improvements. One of the biggest new features is an actual post-editor for screenshots and videos:
I'd love for you to try it out, so I can release it right after returning back home from the Let's Vision conference.

Finally, I'm working on a new Agent Skill. I've already been trying it out with several developer friends, but I'm looking for more teams to try it out. If your team is using Agent Skills already and willing to try it out, reply to this email with your GitHub handle and I'll get you onboarded. I can't share much about it yet, but let's say it will speed up your development workflow quite a bit!
