Said on Front-End Fire

“They're trying different things to keep conferences relevant, but this is not unusual. From what I hear, coding conferences in particular are off by like 50%. But AI conferences are kicking butt.” — Jack Herrington, Front-End Fire

“The whole decision-making process with the TypeScript team going with Go, I mean, we covered that on an entire episode. It was a whole thing… And it's funny how just a matter of months later, it just seems so moot because people can just tell their agent, hey, just actually just make it work in Rust instead.” — TJ Van Toll, Front-End Fire

“Don't share your session with me. I do not want to read that. I'm not going to read that. It's just the honest truth. I don't read all of my Claude sessions myself, so I'm not going to read somebody else's.” — Paige Niedringhaus, Front-End Fire

“Due to AI, I have disabled external pull requests on all of my repos. Open Source, as we have known it, was fun while it lasted… It simply makes no sense for me to spend time reviewing and going back and forth on a low-quality PR when I can generate, verify, and ship the fix faster myself.” — TJ VanToll, Front-End Fire

“There's a lot more that people are trying to shove in as requirements than there ever was before. And it's because AI is making it possible time-wise, but people are still people at the end of the day and only have a finite amount of time and energy and focus. And that's not really being accounted for in this new era.” — Paige Niedringhaus, Front-End Fire

“We're starting to learn again that code, the velocity of coding was never truly the problem in our systems. You can make a whole lot of features and give them a QA and they're just going to be swamped.” — Jack Herrington, Front-End Fire
