It’s Google’s code editor with Gemini built in, so I’m guessing it’s a similar experience to Claude code plus an IDE!
So funny - I am literally coding a drone synth/sequencer with Antigravity right now

I just completed it - thanks for the nudge 🙏 Perhaps it was down temporarily?

Had a very enjoyable top deck, front seat bus ride to work, chatting on Signal to @duncanjbrown.com about this absolute banger of a talk he gave
Oh god we literally bought a fridge from them yesterday and I’ve already fielded one cold call to upsell me insurance

It was SO good!
Hera on stage with a pram, the slide says "The transformative power of participatory and trauma-informed design" and the wall says "Camp digital"
The flipping legend @herahussain.bsky.social kicks off #campDigital with her 3 month old in a pram by her side 🌟💪🏽
See you all there!
Outstanding work
Thanks for having us! I’d really like us to start sharing what we’re learning about how to design for and with AI
Oooooh so sorry Martín - hope it heals quick and didn’t hurt too much
