@petermasking.bsky.social and I are creating a new version of our #jitar introduction video.
It's fully generated from Google Slides with a few #python scripts that transforms the slides into an animation and add a voice-over using #ai
This is what we have so far...

The audience was full of energy, which made it a real pleasure to speak to them, even right after a fantastic lunch!

I love abstractions, but I also fear them. Good ones reduce complexity, while bad ones add it.
Telling them apart isn’t always easy, so avoidance is the widely accepted guideline.
Since I couldn’t find a practical, unified source, I decided to create one.

Just created my first scale-when-needed full-stack app example with server-side rendering using @solidjs.com and Jitar.
Aside from the manual build steps (which I'll automate), this combination is very powerful!
