Here is an article that reflects on how we #architects should look at #tools -- it offers a perspective that is usually not understood at all. It should give you some insight on how a tool such as TAD really got developed.

I coded new kind of front-end generator. You can "kaizen" into your HTML frontend/website with at least 40% less typing. It allows separation of concerns and you can code using HTMX and AlpineJS (or equivalent tech)

We've had #pre-recordedvideos and #podcasts. I now bring a new method of communication: #flauntfiles -- PDF flipbooks with #audiotrack on each page. Zoom/pan/click on links as you flip thru the PDF and hear the audio. Something that pre-recorded videos cannot do.
