Use AI to audit your site as a user or a group of users!
Are you using AI like this?
This is one of my favorite things to do with AI because the value is just on another level.
It's one thing to just audit how things work, It's another to make AI try it with user personas!

I’ve literally loved the last year building EventConvo, and today, the hard work paid off with these Lighthouse scores!
EventConvo is hitting Beta soon, and it’s blazing fast.
Vercel & Next.js 15, React 19, TanStack, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Appwrite, Stripe, and Resend!

I wasn't planning on a redesign, but after a bit of inspiration from @dthompsondev.bsky.social, the wheels started turning. I knew I had to create something more impactful and story-driven.
I’m locking the editor on this portfolio for at least 6–12 months.

After using COUNTLESS AI agents & LLM-powered IDEs, my takeaway is simple:
We're obsessed with benchmarks, but developer adoption will come down to one thing: UI/UX.
The BEST EXPERIENCE will win, NOT just the highest score.

Still trying to leak sensitive data?!
Instead of a 'safelist' for WHAT TO INCLUDE, you need a 'blocklist' for what to exclude!
Meet Omit. It's the perfect utility type for when you want to return ALMOST everything from an object, but need to guarantee you hide sensitive fields:

The scariest bug in production?
Accidentally exposing sensitive data!
Don't just hope you filtered your objects.
Enforce it at the type level!
Here's how TypeScript's Pick utility type acts as your security guard. It lets you create a "safelist" of properties.
