Hello, happy Friday!I am looking to do some in-person developer boot-up workshops, and seek your suggestions for modern tooling .The background of the participants range from motivated newbie ( I heard you can make your own app with AI! ) to existing software developers who want to get up to speed on modern development for the purposes of building stuff, and getting jobs where AI tools are being used.For those who have been doing software development tech lately using AI tools, and feel they have a great setup flow - I would love to hear what your dev setup is, what tools you re using and what workflow has been working best for you (and your team).// My BackgroundI have been programming / building for 20+ years, but have not been using AI tools much (aside from hitting up LLM APIs on a few projects).I value open-source, and aim for long-term quality and supportability. Techniques like test-driven development (TDD), using proven / well documented tools, customer-centric development (often pairing with clients), make it easy to do the right thing. If you are familiar with Pivotal Labs, agile XP - that s the style.These are some of the Upcoming uses-cases for the workshop, and my own personal IT backlog :- Create a static one pager personal/professional website- Setup a Blog / Static site generator (Pelican), create a simple but stylish theme- Create a simple web app / backend API (FastAPI) tool - form-based calculator, convert X data to PDFs, etc.- Figure out how to have SyncThing autosync the home folder of 3 Linux computers in the house- Backup archive the photos video from my iPhone// Tech stack I am currently using:- Operating system: Linux Mint Debian (LMDE)- Editor: VSCodium- Code: Python, HTML/CSS- Server platform: Amazon AWSI am guessing that most workshop participants will be using MacBooks Windows computers - but a few are on Linux, as I recently did a Linux install party .I haven t used any AI harnesses , agents or anything like that - but curious what s a good starting point to take best advantage of these tools.Thanks for sharing the knowledge!// JRO
