The Myth of Icarus and the Modern Dilemma of AI-Augmented Coding
Once upon a time—well, in a land of myth and melodrama—a young chap named Icarus got the ultimate upgrade: wings. Handcrafted by his ever-wise (and occasionally overly ambitious) father, Daedalus, these wings were a marvel of ancient engineering, crafted from feathers and wax. Icarus, thrilled by his newfound ability to defy gravity, soared into the sky with the enthusiasm of a kid on a sugar rush.
What does it mean to go serverless?
It’s time to look closely at serverless development. Come on a journey to investigate the serverless development model with Typescript. This article will take you through a potential framework, ORM, relational database provider, how to test, and our conclusions.

The guide to integrating Google MyMaps onto your website with React
If you want to put the custom map you’ve created with MyMaps onto a website you have two options:
🚘 SmartInspect with React Native 📱
Our Rapid Projects team developed this mobile app in three months. We used React Native and found it fast and efficient. Watch a demo of SmartInspect. Hear what Naiki Pearl and Kate Norquay found as they developed using React Native.
Accessibility, error handling and service workers
Kate’s favourite talks include Julie Grundy on accessibility, Theresa Ma on improving the way designers and engineers work together, and Diana Mounter from GitHub on the interaction of colour systems.

Enspiral Dev Academy meetup
A big thank you to Shaun O'Connell from Abletech for giving a Tech Talk recently. Shaun’s been enjoying the latest Enspiral Dev Academy meetups and gave us some feedback on what he found interesting and useful after the first one about using TypeScript.
React On Rails with Devise: Two Ways
Hi, I’m Kate! I’ve been working as a web development intern at Abletech for the last two months. Recently I’ve been investigating using React together with Ruby on Rails. My task was to discover common ‘gotchas’ and figure out what it would take to use React in our next project.
Elixir for JavaScript and Ruby developers
This talk will be an introduction to Elixir in the form of a walk-through of a real-world application (Addressfinder).
Controlling MIDI hardware from the browser
The purpose of Kalo’s app is to control external hardware synthesizers or samplers. WebStep should work fine with any MIDI enabled synthesizer or sampler that’s visible to your operating system.
HTTP/2 accelerates Addressfinder
Last week we upgraded the software that powers Addressfinder. We turned on HTTP/2. It’s made the autocomplete even faster.
