A Day of Code & Connection: My Throwback to DevFest Prayagraj 2025 By Vaishnavi Mishra As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on the moments that truly sparked my enthusiasm for technology. One day stands out vividly: November 29th at DevFest Prayagraj - My first time participating in a Devfest. Events are often just about sitting in a dark room watching slides, but this felt different from the moment I arrived. Walking into the venue at the United Institute of Technology , the energy was palpable.

Beyond the Slides: Active Witnessing What made this DevFest unique for me was the shift from passive listening to active witnessing. I got to experience Parallel Hands-on Labs . Instead of just hearing about code, I watched it run. Seeing fellow developers build real-time solutions with the Gemini CLI and MCP Se...

For Kiro-ween the theme was 'Frankenstein,' so I took that literally. I didn't want another polished, polite chatbot. I wanted to stitch together a bunch of messy, incompatible tech stacks into something that felt alive—and maybe a little dangerous. We are currently living in the era of "Chat." We ask an LLM a question, and it gives us text back. But the future of AI isn't just about retrieval; it's about agency . It's about agents that can reach out of the chat window and touch the operating system, the file structure, and the hardware. For the Kiro-ween Hackathon , I entered the "Frankenstein" category with a specific goal: To stitch together incompatible technologies—Local File Systems, IoT simulation, and Reactive Frontend Animations—into a single, cohesive entity. The result is...
