Building OpenCode
Luke Parker, known online as Hona, is a software engineer at Anomaly, where he builds OpenCode and its open-source developer tooling. His career spans government and education consulting, in-house financial services, venue and event management software, and startups. Luke spent most of his career working with C# and the Microsoft ecosystem. Throughout it, he maintained a passion for open source, contributing across roles and technology stacks to projects including .NET Runtime and ASP.NET Core. Today, Luke builds OpenCode in the JavaScript ecosystem. That work often takes him down the stack, contributing fixes and detailed investigations upstream to Bun, TanStack, Windows Terminal, and other open-source projects. He specialises in architecture, performance, stability, cross-platform support, and tracing difficult production problems to their root cause.
Come steal my best lessons about vibe coding and agent workflows, distilled into simple, practical tips. They come from my daily work building OpenCode, constant experimentation within the team, and shared learnings across my wider AI and open-source network. Everyone will leave with actionable ideas they can experiment with and adapt to their own work. We'll explore what works, what doesn't, and why through real-world examples, comparisons, visuals, and clear ways of thinking. No technical background is required, though having experimented with vibe coding will help you get even more from the session.
