By Claudio MasoloPresentation: Local First – How To Build Software Which Still Works After the Acquihire
Alex Good discusses the fragility of modern cloud-dependent apps and shares a roadmap for "local-first" software.

Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .
