A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Frameworks and libraries are nice but I encourage everyone to try building with nothing but standard libs at least once.

Most modern languages already come with good http libs, encoders/decoders, etc. so it's not too much work to setup an http server to handle requests, serving static files, json, etc.

See how far you can get.
Even on the client side you can just use standard dom manipulation and css.

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

good side effect is that it's gpt friendly maintenable code

I guess there are some exception like async rust lol (personally, probs skill issue)

That's a good point.

Also, LLMs can help you gain the dev velocity that using a lib or framework could've.

ai is a tool, it accelerates things
frameworks are human created abstractions, sometimes the ai doesn't know every abstraction in its training data so sticking to stdlib as much as possible makes sense

not using ai cause it's cheating is such a dated way of thinking, "ai shouldn't be used in schools and workplaces"

someone still needs to verify its output is specification correct, that's an understanding/learning/discovery process in itself 

that being said, give a bad coder an acceleration tool, you get bad code ...faster

if the point of the exercise is to get more familiar with stdlib, doesn't using an llm kind of defeat the purpose? or are you thinking of using the llm in a more conversational/rubber duck kind of way?
