Greetings, GatorJUG!
This month we'll talk about OSCON 2012. I ran into Clint Collins of GatorLUG there. Clint and I had the fortune to have lunch with Ward Cunningham, creator of the wiki wiki website, eXtreme Programming and Design Patterns co-author. Loads of new topics were explored and I hope to convey many to you.
This meeting is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design (CWD) ::: Working Software Developers!
Please invite some friends and RSVP here so we'll know how much pizza to order. Note: you must join Codetown to enable the RSVP - otherwise you won't see it!

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Cloudflare released vinext, an experimental Next.js reimplementation built on Vite by one engineer, with AI guidance over one week, for $1,100. Early benchmarks show 4.4x faster builds, but Cloudflare cautions it's untested at scale. Missing static pre-rendering. HN reaction skeptical, noting Vite does the heavy lifting. Already running on CIO.gov despite experimental status.

Patrick Debois discusses the evolution of software engineering in the age of AI. He shares four key patterns: transitioning from producer to manager, focusing on intent over implementation through spec-driven development, moving from delivery to discovery, and managing agentic knowledge. He explains how these shifts redefine seniority, team roles, and the future of the DevOps workflow.
