Mornin folks. Anyone eyeing BOBconf 2027? Seemed like a fun low-key event when I went a few years ago.
Good morning

I might make it to BOBconf... speaking of conferences, I'd like to apply for a Clojure devroom at FOSDEM (30&31 january 2027). Any folks interested in helping with that?

I have been upgrading my MQTT broker the last few days thanks to Claude and things have improved a lot. More testing, build in web server with stats, more performance (200k mesg/sec). lots of goodness.
50k clients tested as well.
oh and the design of the web page is claude design. with http-kit as an in build web server
Looks better than most vibe-coded designs IMO.
Claude design is quite good IMHO. and when you start a new project it asks lots of relevant questions
I did try using it once and I can definitely see the appeal, but unfortunately it doesn't really fit my own design workflow. I tend to begin with a highly semantic HTML structure and then I adapt a design to that HTML structure. The more common way (I think) is to design first and then create an HTML structure that fits the design, but that often results in div soup or at least a lot of non-semantic elements scattered in the HTML source. And I want that perfect semantic HTML document, so the design just needs to be limited in that way 😛
I know you can retrofit the semantic HTML, but in my experience doing it as the first step locks you into a good path with regard to accessibility. It can be hard to bolt on accessible design to a mature frontend.
