A+ Show S11E7 | SolidJS, AI and Everything in Between with Atila Fassina

Angie Jones joins The Ai Dev Craft Show to talk about what it really takes to move AI from experimentation into everyday engineering work. She shares lessons from helping thousands of developers adopt AI, why tools alone aren’t enough, and how teams can use agents, guardrails, open standards, and better context to build AI systems they can actually trust.The conversation also dives into MCP, WebMCP, agentic commerce, AI-powered workflows, and why developers need to think far beyond coding assistants as agents become a bigger part of how we work and interact with the web.You can also hear Angie live at Ai Dev Craft, October 27–28 in Las Vegas, where she’ll be joining other leaders shaping the future of AI development.https://x.com/techgirl1908https://www.linkedin.com/in/angiejones/https://chatgpt.com/work/https://angiejones.tech/leading AI enablementhttps://angiejones.tech/tools-arent-enough-scaling-ai-adoption-for-engineering-teams/the agentic webhttps://aaif.io/blog/designing-websites-for-ai-agents-with-webmcphttps://aaif.io/blog/how-does-agentic-commerce-workany and all things agents: https://aaif.io/author/angie-jonesThe Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.

In this episode of The Ai Dev Craft Show, Manfred Steyer joins Jay Bell and Mike Hartington to explore the next evolution of AI-powered applications: interfaces that do more than return walls of text. They dig into generative and agentic UI, A2UI, AG-UI, MCP Apps, CopilotKit, and how developers can build AI experiences that dynamically generate useful, interactive interfaces while still maintaining control, consistency, and guardrails. Manfred also demonstrates real-world examples and discusses why emerging standards and protocols could be key to building AI applications that can evolve without constant rewrites.If you want more expertise from Manfred, check out his book!"Agentic UI with Angular“: https://agentic-angular.com/The Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.

In this episode of Angular Plus Show, the hosts sit down with Doguhan Uluca, Director of Software Engineering at Capital One and Angular author, for a candid conversation about how AI is reshaping software development. From vibe coding, multi-agent workflows, and AI-assisted architecture reviews to token economics, open-source models, and the future of engineering careers, the discussion explores both the excitement and uncertainty surrounding AI in tech. It’s a thoughtful, funny, and occasionally existential deep dive into where the industry may be headed next.The Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.

In this episode of the Angular Plus Show, Lara, Jay, and Jan sit down with Tomasz Ducin to dig into how AI and LLMs are reshaping software architecture, Angular development, and the day-to-day role of developers. The conversation moves from practical AI workflows and deterministic tooling to deeper architectural choices like vertical slices, local state, plugin-based design, and “removability” as a new advantage in AI-assisted codebases. Along the way, the group discusses why communication, product understanding, and architectural judgment may matter more than ever in a world where code is becoming cheaper to generate—but still expensive to maintain.The Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.
