Using an AI agent to migrate a codebase sounds great in theory, but in practice it can feel like an orchestrated lie.

@blackgirlbytes.bsky.social breaks down the messy, real steps she used to prompt goose to migrate a React and Node app to Next.js.

Nature of my job. As a dev advocate, i need to interact with developers..esp so i can learn about meetups and what’s new in MCP world etc..just reading wouldn’t be as effective. Also i used twitter since i was 15..tough habit to break i guess

This week for @magnolia.boo I'm excited to unveil a new talk, with a special twist for this spooky event.

I've heard wonderful things about MagnoliaConf (formerly MagnoliaJS). Thanks @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social for getting me hyped about it!
