A casual weekly virtual chat mostly focused on web and software development.
Weekly Dev Chat is a place to ask questions, hear different viewpoints, and get to know your fellow developers. Every week there is an initial topic posted to get the discussion started. Sometimes we discuss the initial topic the entire chat, and other times the topic changes several times through the natural flow of the conversation.
Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

In today's (2026-03-17) chat I'll get the chat mob to review my 99% vibe code Word Games is Dumb app and/or vibe code some more of it. This is the first application I've vibe coded and accepted most of the clanker (AI) recommendations unless they were really dumb. It's in TypeScript which is a language I'm not familiar with, so I'm curious to hear what TypeScript experts think of the generated code.
I found the clanker was good at quickly creating a proof of concept (PoC) for my game ideas. For example, I had one idea that I PoC in an afternoon, tried for a couple days, then ditched it.
