Dev Log 1
Joined Stardance at the start of June — now it’s about to end. Spent a month learning a language that took its developer 10 days to prototype!
Finally shipped my first JS project: a Slack bot.
Still a bash loyalist at heart, so I built a CLI parser (a minimal implementation) that lets users interact with the bot like a command-line tool.
I’ve added a /summarize command to help me triage unread messages across Slack. It fetches the last n hours of messages (-time flag) from a target channel (selectable via -channel flag), pipes them to the Gemini API, and lets users fine-tune the AI’s output with a custom -prompt flag.
The dopamine hit of shipping this without blindly dumping AI-generated code was unmatched — the kind of serotonin you only get from debugging your own stack traces at 1 AM. And somewhere along the way, I learned to collaborate with the weirdo.
