I had a great time at @halfstackconf.bsky.social! Check out my slides to build lightning fast data viz on millions of rows with Mosaic and DuckDB-Wasm!
It was great to get to know more of the Phoenix dev community and I picked up some new ideas around AI as well.

A speaker stands on stage at a tech event, lit by warm red and purple lights, in front of a projected slide filled with text listing their many niche interests. The audience watches attentively in a small, dark venue. A "HalfStack" banner is visible on the side of the stage. Slide reads: I get obsessed about user agent strings, northern lights, lego, clocks, astrophotography, osollloscopes, receipt printers, reverse engineering bluetooth devices, video's about watch repair, evolution of germanio languages, DMX controlled stago lIghts and pyrotechnios, browser compatibility before 2000, the space shuttle, publio transport in London - but less than Leo, how the browser parses HTML, history of writing. watohing reaction videos to the musio of Ren, typography, making perfeot sorambled eggs.

Really enjoyed the first session of #Halfstack 2025.
It highlighted some of pitfalls of being an occasional front-end full-stacker... and left me feeling hopeful. Yes, hopeful.
