Watch three teams of developers compete in a timed coding challenge to build web applications using unconventional inputs like voice commands, gestures, and facial expressions—no keyboards or mice allowed. Follow Team Epic Geese (Kent C. Dodds & Joel Hooks), Team Waffle (Billy Jacobson & Andrew Zigler), and Team R.C. (Leon Noel & Erica Mendez) as they race against the clock to create innovative apps that push the boundaries of user interaction. Learn how each team leverages codename goose, an extensible AI framework for developers, to automate development tasks and create specialized subagents for their builds. Observe the complete development process from initial planning and brainstorming through live coding sessions, progress check-ins, and final app demonstrations. Discover creative solutions including sensor-based interfaces, VS Code extensions, and voice-controlled applications that challenge traditional web interaction paradigms. Gain insights into rapid prototyping techniques, team collaboration under pressure, and innovative approaches to accessibility and user experience design. See how modern AI tools can accelerate development workflows while exploring the future of human-computer interaction in web applications.
