Episode 34: What We’ve Been Building: Web viewers and Javascript
This episode of the DevCast looks at how JavaScript, HTML, JSON, Web Viewers, and AI can work together to build more flexible and dynamic FileMaker solutions. A few of our devs walk us through real-world examples, like a multi-image upload and rotation tool and a dynamic dining room and table management interface.The conversation strides into a bigger question: How much do you really need to understand when AI is writing the code for you? Our devs discuss finding the right balance between letting AI handle the heavy lifting and understanding enough of what's happening under the hood to build, test, troubleshoot, and maintain a reliable solution.Multi-Image Upload Blog Pt. 1: https://www.portagebay.com/blog/multi-image-uploading-with-gallery-and-rotation-free-demo/Multi-Image Upload Blog Pt. 2: https://www.portagebay.com/blog/using-webviewers-to-add-functionality-for-field-technicians/

Episode 32: The Intelligence Limits of Confidently Incorrect AI
In this episode of DevCast, our devs share their firsthand experiences using AI tools like Claude and Gemini for FileMaker development. They spotlight where they excel, where they fall short, and what developers need to watch out for. They cover AI hallucinating FileMaker functions and scripts, misinterpreting FileMaker Server logs, context window limitations, memory persistence, and the importance of verifying AI-generated code before putting it into production. They also discuss practical advice on improving AI-assisted workflows, using skills and agents, keeping conversations focused, building better prompts, and why testing is more important than ever in an AI-driven development process.
