Barefoot developers

[L]ocal software that means software that is built close to the home and serves the needs of the home.

It’s software someone might build for themselves, their family and friends, their neighborhood and community.

It solves local problems for local people.

Maggie Appleton explains in the video what is local software, why it’s important and how the current trend of LLM-powered developer tools could enable a new generation of “barefoot developers”.

I won’t spoil you the definition of barefoot developers. The story is so great, you’ll have to watch the video to understand. You won’t regret it since the presentation is well crafted with illustrated slides.
