In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, we welcome back Erik Hanchett, Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, to dive into his experience at VueConf. From the energy of the Vue community to lightning talks on AI and Nuxt updates, Erik shares his insights on where Vue is heading and why in-person conferences are still so valuable for developers. We also explore the balance between “vibe coding” and spec-driven development, plus Erik introduces us to Amazon Q CLI and its powerful MCP integrations for smarter AI-assisted coding.

Along the way, we discuss the evolving state of Vue, the rise of Nuxt 4, Evan You’s projects (including Vite and RollDown), and how Amplify is simplifying full-stack app development on AWS. Whether you’re a Vue developer, curious about AI in frontend workflows, or just want to catch up on what’s happening in the broader JavaScript ecosystem, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
