Intro: Welcome to Syntax. Welcome to a brand new episode of the Front End Happy Hour podcast. Welcome to this week’s JS Party. Live from Ship Shape Studios, this is Whiskey Web and Whatnot. With your hosts, Robbie the Wagner, and me, Charles William Carpenter III. That’s right Charles. We drink whiskey and talk about web development.
Intro: I mean, it’s all in the name. It’s not that deep. This is Whiskey Web and Whatnot. Do not adjust your set.
Robbie Wagner: Hey, what’s up everybody? Welcome to a live whiskey web and whatnot. I don’t have a catchy name for it today. cabernet code and something. Chatter. Chatter
Brian Douglas: It’s literally Cabernet.
Nick Taylor: Yeah, I’m, I’m impressed.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. yeah. So we are, we are live here. I have my guest host Nick Taylor. How’s
Robbie Wagner: it going, Nick?
Nick Taylor: Not too bad. Doing pretty good. It’s been, it’s been a minute. It’s been like, what, 12 hours since I last
Nick Taylor: c We’ve
Robbie Wagner: Yes. Seen a lot
Robbie Wagner: of
Robbie Wagner: each other.
Nick Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: And our guest.
Robbie Wagner: today is be Dougie.
Robbie Wagner: How’s it
Brian Douglas: Uh, I am super, well, I’ve actually no more talks. I’m just, uh, eating salty popcorn and, uh, in the Cabernet corner.
Robbie Wagner: Nice.
Robbie Wagner: Nice, nice. Cool. Well, yeah, before we get into anything else, let’s start with some Cabernet. We got some Josh, everyone’s a fan of Josh, just ‘cause I, I think it’s a silly name to just be
Brian Douglas: Josh,
Brian Douglas: I actually, I’m not familiar with Josh.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: know about his
Brian Douglas: game.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah, I always, uh,
Robbie Wagner: like
Nick Taylor: apparently he brings his game.
Robbie Wagner: yeah. Speaking of games, I will play games with my friends and like, like, Hey, Josh is gonna join us tonight to play. here, pass that down.
Brian Douglas: pass that down.
Brian Douglas: Here
Nick Taylor: I, I have never heard of Josh.
Brian Douglas: No. Is this like
Brian Douglas: regional?
Robbie Wagner: It must be, I guess I didn’t know it wasn’t a,
Brian Douglas: no. Like, does it have a, a winery, like what’s the, uh, location of the winery?
Robbie Wagner: I dunno. Let’s,
Robbie Wagner: let’s
Nick Taylor: Aside from the location in my cup.
Robbie Wagner: Nope. Got a bunch of my pants.
Nick Taylor: Oh,
Nick Taylor: Josh.
Robbie Wagner: Oh, Josh. Yeah. You’re always messing with my pants.
Brian Douglas: Sloppy Josh.
Robbie Wagner: Okay. Yeah, let’s, let’s try some. All right, so I’ve got a, uh, do you have a toast for us? All right.
Robbie Wagner: Here’s the open sauce, the platform that reminded us, our commits actually mattered even if our bosses never noticed. You helped us track our GitHub glory and now you’re just another repo and the great archive of acquisitions.
Robbie Wagner: So today we pour one out for all the green squares and the spicy little startup that made open source. Feel delicious. Cheers to open sauce. You pushed, you merged, you shipped your legacy. Amazing
Brian Douglas: Amazing.
Brian Douglas: I’m tear
Robbie Wagner: up.
Brian Douglas: man.
Brian Douglas: What a
Brian Douglas: toast. Yes.
Brian Douglas: That
Brian Douglas: was a good
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: AI’s good at making toast if you didn’t know.
Nick Taylor: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Amazing.
Nick Taylor: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: Open
Nick Taylor: sauce
Nick Taylor: was good times.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. I don’t know if how we’re starting this podcast, but yeah. Nick worked with me at Open Sauce for a good year.
Brian Douglas: At that point you were,
Brian Douglas: you were
Brian Douglas: half
Brian Douglas: the journey. yeah, now the journey is
Brian Douglas: completed.
Brian Douglas: I actually
Brian Douglas: got,
Brian Douglas: I got word that the last person who came over in the Lennox Foundation acquisition just, uh, announced a departure last week. So
Brian Douglas: it,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: literally
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: finished.
Robbie Wagner: Okay.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. I tried to go to it earlier and it was like,
Robbie Wagner: no. So I was like, oh, that’s sad. But yeah. Yeah. The end of an era.
Robbie Wagner: We may get a little more into that here in a little bit, but we got some hot takes, which we maybe did with you before you’ve been on the show before.
Brian Douglas: Uh, Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Honestly, I
Brian Douglas: still have that
Brian Douglas: bottle. I haven’t finished it,
Brian Douglas: so,
Brian Douglas: um,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t remember
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: talked about,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: yeah, the
Brian Douglas: whiskey was
Brian Douglas: good.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Yeah. , So yeah, I have a condensed list, but let’s just do a few here.
Robbie Wagner: Get rebase
Robbie Wagner: or get merge,
Brian Douglas: rebase.
Robbie Wagner: Okay.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. I like,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: know, pure history. , But you know, actually I’m a, I am a squasher,
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: squash first and then rebase. And you always have historical
Brian Douglas: record merge.
Brian Douglas: Commits are messy.
Robbie Wagner: Oh, they are? Yes. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: The worst is when you’re actually squashing and doing things really clean.
Robbie Wagner: But then. Still merging. So it’s like really nice history of what you actually wanted, but merged, merged, merged. It’s like, yeah, I get ya.
Robbie Wagner: is H-T-M-L-A programming language?
Brian Douglas: that’s a good question. , You do
Brian Douglas: cool things
Brian Douglas: with it.
Brian Douglas: It is a template that
Brian Douglas: you could
Brian Douglas: write
Brian Douglas: in language,
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: natural
Brian Douglas: language.
Brian Douglas: Not even lang. It’s not even natural. It’s semantic. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: yeah. Okay. That’s not afraid. There’s no right answer. Yeah. It’s just to spark conversation. So then.
Robbie Wagner: Is CSSA programming language?
Brian Douglas: I think it’s getting there. You can do some , performative things in there. , Not just like animations, but like, yeah, you can do some cool things.
Brian Douglas: So yeah,
Brian Douglas: I don’t
Brian Douglas: know.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: turn
Brian Douglas: complete, like
Brian Douglas: yeah, there’s no like zeros and ones or like no reasoning or,
Brian Douglas: sorry,
Brian Douglas: what’s
Brian Douglas: the turn Complete so I
Brian Douglas: didn’t
Brian Douglas: get a cs.
Robbie Wagner: I don’t,
Robbie Wagner: yeah,
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: don’t,
Nick Taylor: it, it’s always the
Nick Taylor: cool thing to say though. Yeah.
Nick Taylor: Something something tur complete.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Non-deterministic
Brian Douglas: and,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: AI.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: I dunno. You’ve run outta Chatt BT
Brian Douglas: tokens.
Brian Douglas: Please
Brian Douglas: check
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: 10:00 PM
Robbie Wagner: You’re
Robbie Wagner: absolutely right.
Robbie Wagner: ,
Robbie Wagner: Okay. Sidebar on the left or
Robbie Wagner: right in
Robbie Wagner: vs. Code.
Brian Douglas: sidebar
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: the left.
Brian Douglas: Agent,
Brian Douglas: editor thing
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: the right.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. I’ve been a, a right side, I dunno, cursor’s like gone back and forth like cursor. I think a lot of cool kids are doing on the left side.
Brian Douglas: but I do like
Brian Douglas: having
Brian Douglas: my, my
Brian Douglas: file menu on the left. Like
Brian Douglas: I’m just so used to
Brian Douglas: that.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. That’s the default. And yeah, so I think the only person who has said the right, like taking the time to move it to
Robbie Wagner: not the
Robbie Wagner: default is Jason
Robbie Wagner: Langsdorf. He’s like, this is objectively the correct answer. Like it is not a subjective choice. And I’m like, no, it, it
Robbie Wagner: is.
Nick Taylor: I, I
Nick Taylor: got bad news. I’m, I’m one of the right side boys
Nick Taylor: too. Oh, are you?
Nick Taylor: The, the main, the main reason why I do it is when I’m live streaming and you’re live coding. It keeps bumping it back and forth if you open and close it. And if you have it on the
Nick Taylor: right
Nick Taylor: side,
Nick Taylor: it doesn’t
Nick Taylor: affect it as much. Yeah. And I,
Nick Taylor: but I also do weird stuff.
Nick Taylor: Like, like I do stuff on purpose to hurt my brain, so it makes me think, you know, kind
Nick Taylor: of,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Uh, you
Brian Douglas: know?
Brian Douglas: I might be tempted,
Robbie Wagner: honestly.
Nick Taylor: All
Nick Taylor: right. You heard it
Nick Taylor: here first. You
Nick Taylor: heard it
Brian Douglas: side,
Robbie Wagner: I agree with that reasoning that it, like, it doesn’t bounce your coat around when you’re opening and closing it.
Robbie Wagner: I just don’t open and close it that
Brian Douglas: Yeah. So it’s like
Brian Douglas: you know, I
Brian Douglas: might be
Brian Douglas: with you.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: actually keep it
Brian Douglas: closed a lot. Like, unless I’m like, okay, what happened here again, like, let me navigate. But usually I got a mental
Brian Douglas: model of like where
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: are or what
Brian Douglas: names are
Brian Douglas: that.
Robbie Wagner: I don’t
Robbie Wagner: actually
Robbie Wagner: open. And if you
Robbie Wagner: have more than like 10 files, you’re just searching for ‘em anyway.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Like,
Brian Douglas: oh
Nick Taylor: oh yeah, I’m
Nick Taylor: definitely Command P Gang. even though I love Visual Studio Code, I’m like always using shortcuts. we were talking about this yesterday, about like people talking about vim and stuff and shortcuts and it’s. I don’t know. I’m, I basically, DS code for me at this point is just like glorified, like terminal editor kind
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: yeah.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: used the, uh, IntelliJ, key bindings, unfortunately I started out with WebStorm and learned all of that and I was like, I don’t wanna change. I should have changed though, because. Now everybody’s like, oh, hit this thing. And I’m
Robbie Wagner: like, nah, my, my, keys
Robbie Wagner: don’t do
Robbie Wagner: that.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. And it’s a bit awkward. I, I’m a Vim user as well, and, uh, I’ve got the Vim
Brian Douglas: bindings, but
Brian Douglas: none of
Brian Douglas: my key
Brian Douglas: bindings and Vim transferred over. Honestly, I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: even use vs code anymore.
Brian Douglas: I’m in Zed and Neo. Vim.
Brian Douglas: Okay.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I go back and forth ‘cause ZI
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: plugins
Brian Douglas: on there. So it’s
Brian Douglas: like fast, no
Brian Douglas: bloat
Brian Douglas: vs. Code
Brian Douglas: opposite problem.
Brian Douglas: Too
Brian Douglas: much
Brian Douglas: stuff in there
Brian Douglas: and I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: have the time to go
Brian Douglas: clean
Brian Douglas: it up. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Yeah. I’ve been hearing, uh, I think Adam Argyle, my new, uh, co-host is, uh, using ZA good bit. He’s saying it’s, uh, come a long way. ‘cause like when I first tried it, I don’t know, two, three years ago or something.
Robbie Wagner: When did
Robbie Wagner: it come
Robbie Wagner: out?
Robbie Wagner: It’s
Robbie Wagner: been
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: little
Robbie Wagner: while. Uh,
Robbie Wagner: it, Yeah, it was
Brian Douglas: open
Brian Douglas: source like
Brian Douglas: 2019.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: it was pretty
Brian Douglas: early.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: been
Robbie Wagner: Maybe it’s been longer than I thought.
Brian Douglas: because,
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: you know,
Brian Douglas: the history of z
Brian Douglas: it’s
Robbie Wagner: the, uh,
Robbie Wagner: team
Robbie Wagner: that
Robbie Wagner: built Adam
Robbie Wagner: at
Robbie Wagner: GitHub.
Robbie Wagner: Yes. Uh, and GitHub, you’re
Robbie Wagner: jogging
Robbie Wagner: my
Robbie Wagner: memory. We’ve
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: guy,
Robbie Wagner: uh,
Robbie Wagner: what’s his name?
Robbie Wagner: The guy that,
Robbie Wagner: uh, started
Robbie Wagner: it. I can
Robbie Wagner: see
Brian Douglas: his face.
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: he was
Brian Douglas: on the
Brian Douglas: show
Brian Douglas: and told
Brian Douglas: us
Brian Douglas: all about it,
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Yeah. So this kind of
Brian Douglas: like, had a cool project they were working on
Brian Douglas: and they
Brian Douglas: didn’t really
Brian Douglas: take funding until like 20,
Brian Douglas: 22, like
Brian Douglas: kinda later. and like it was at that point it had so many users, but then they kind of figured out what the product was gonna be that would make money, don’t ask me
Brian Douglas: what it is. I have no idea how they make money.
Robbie Wagner: How
Robbie Wagner: does anyone
Robbie Wagner: make money
Robbie Wagner: really
Robbie Wagner: show
Robbie Wagner: up
Robbie Wagner: every
Robbie Wagner: day?
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Nick Taylor: I just asked Josh.
Robbie Wagner: Yes.
Brian Douglas: Just
Brian Douglas: look
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: bottom of
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: cup and that’s
Brian Douglas: where the money
Brian Douglas: comes Yep. Yeah. Josh is probably doing okay, I would think.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Um,
Robbie Wagner: Rails or Laravel?
Brian Douglas: I don’t know,
Brian Douglas: Laravel.
Brian Douglas: So I
Brian Douglas: guess rails.
Brian Douglas: like, You
Brian Douglas: don’t have to know either. You can just have
Brian Douglas: an opinion.
Brian Douglas: I don’t use either
Brian Douglas: of them.
Brian Douglas: Laravel seems really cool. Like they seem to be cool, like a lot of cool
Brian Douglas: kids
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: over there.
Brian Douglas: I just don’t
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: like the
Brian Douglas: brain power
Brian Douglas: to do
Brian Douglas: another thing.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: built a
Brian Douglas: couple Rails apps recently just
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: kicks
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: giggles.
Brian Douglas: Right. Really?
Robbie Wagner: Really? Yeah.
Brian Douglas: see what, what’s still
Brian Douglas: there.
Brian Douglas: That was
Brian Douglas: my first
Brian Douglas: sort of framework,
Brian Douglas: honestly. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: think the batteries included framework model has gotten kind of lost and now everything is just a react component
Robbie Wagner: of some
Robbie Wagner: sort, cobbled
Robbie Wagner: together.
Brian Douglas: Seriously. Yeah. I mean, Nick,
Brian Douglas: you’re a
Brian Douglas: rails person.
Brian Douglas: Like I feel like
Brian Douglas: the AI world
Brian Douglas: leans
Brian Douglas: into
Brian Douglas: like of strong
Brian Douglas: opinions.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. ‘cause then
Brian Douglas: the agent
Brian Douglas: won’t go off the rails.
Brian Douglas: Pun
Brian Douglas: intended.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. But I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: know. You’re,
Brian Douglas: have you
Brian Douglas: written
Brian Douglas: Rails recently?
Nick Taylor: Not recently, like when I worked at Dev two, uh, they were a rail shop and like the thing I found about Rails was the, to your point about the batteries included and stuff, even though I hadn’t really done any rails until that point, it was very approachable.
Nick Taylor: And
Nick Taylor: the thing is, like you’ve heard this, at least in the React world, people have been trying to mimic what Rails does in React land, like a. I know, like the remix guys, they’ve been like trying to do that kind of stuff. And Laravel, I think kind of modeled themselves
Nick Taylor: on
Nick Taylor: like the rails, batteries included.
Nick Taylor: , It’s
Nick Taylor: one
Nick Taylor: of
Nick Taylor: those,
Nick Taylor: it depends
Nick Taylor: like, people who like to customize literally everything. Like it’s, it’s cool for a while, but like at the end of the day, you gotta ship stuff and like, making some bespoke react combo of stuff. Like when we used to have like react boiler templates or stuff, it’s like.
Nick Taylor: I don’t really care that much anymore. Now I’m just like, I just need to ship something and this is good enough. You know,
Nick Taylor: like Yeah,
Nick Taylor: I think
Nick Taylor: a lot
Nick Taylor: of
Nick Taylor: people
Robbie Wagner: disagree though. They
Robbie Wagner: don’t wanna
Robbie Wagner: ship stuff,
Nick Taylor: they
Nick Taylor: wanna
Nick Taylor: spend two years making
Nick Taylor: that
Nick Taylor: bespoke
Nick Taylor: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: well, well how is you gonna get those zero users,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know,
Brian Douglas: right?
Brian Douglas: Alright.
Brian Douglas: Or keep
Brian Douglas: ‘em. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: honestly,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: spent all summer
Brian Douglas: building a bunch
Brian Douglas: of projects
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: them,
Brian Douglas: actually the one I
Brian Douglas: talked about
Brian Douglas: in the keynote, finally has users,
Brian Douglas: not intentionally,
Brian Douglas: it is just more.
Brian Douglas: Uh, I’ve
Brian Douglas: got a
Brian Douglas: weird
Brian Douglas: following where people
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: look
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: GitHub.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: And they’re
Brian Douglas: like, oh,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: saw you ship a thing.
Brian Douglas: Why are
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: looking at
Brian Douglas: that?
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: public. ’
Brian Douglas: cause I
Brian Douglas: need a free
Brian Douglas: repo
Brian Douglas: and I need
Brian Douglas: free
Brian Douglas: access.
Robbie Wagner: Ah,
Brian Douglas: actions.
Brian Douglas: Otherwise it’d be
Brian Douglas: private. But actions
Brian Douglas: is expensive
Brian Douglas: when it’s a private repo. Especially if you
Brian Douglas: gotta run a Mac
Robbie Wagner: os one. Those Things
Brian Douglas: Oh, yeah. Never. Uh, Funny
Brian Douglas: enough, I
Brian Douglas: I was at GitHub
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: were, uh,
Brian Douglas: trying to figure out the
Brian Douglas: Maco Westing
Brian Douglas: and it was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the trash
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: Mac
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Uh,
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: legitimately just a bunch of trash
Brian Douglas: cans.
Robbie Wagner: like
Robbie Wagner: the, That’s
Robbie Wagner: what it
Robbie Wagner: ran on.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: That was how it,
Brian Douglas: how we
Brian Douglas: probably got it
Brian Douglas: out there. That’s Apple does it too.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. All
Brian Douglas: of
Robbie Wagner: stuff runs on Mac
Robbie Wagner: Minis
Robbie Wagner: under
Robbie Wagner: desks, so
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Well, make way more sense,
Brian Douglas: but the trash can thing
Brian Douglas: they can’t stack
Brian Douglas: trash
Brian Douglas: cans. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. The logistics are
Robbie Wagner: harder. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Well, we come a long way.
Nick Taylor: those, uh, those mac os runners cracks me up. ‘cause like we’ve got, like our product is open core, so we’ve got a open source repo public, and we have Mac Runners that run.
Nick Taylor: And when, what’s the new version of Mac called the Tahoe? Is it
Nick Taylor: Tahoe? Yeah, it, so like I was doing work and like my PR was like all the build stuff, steps were passing and then Tahoe got released and I’m like, what’s going on? Like, the builds are failing now. And like that classic thing that you see on your actual Mac where it says you gotta update the tools for
Nick Taylor: X code for like get, like that was happening on the Mac runners
Robbie Wagner: Mm,
Nick Taylor: and I didn’t clue in right away.
Nick Taylor: But, uh, so anyways.
Robbie Wagner: Oh, that thing is so annoying.
Robbie Wagner: Like I
Robbie Wagner: just
Robbie Wagner: want to
Robbie Wagner: use get, don’t make
Robbie Wagner: me
Robbie Wagner: agree
Robbie Wagner: to something.
Brian Douglas: Well,
Brian Douglas: nowadays,
Brian Douglas: like I actually get my agent,
Brian Douglas: so I’ll
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: continuous CLI to basically set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: system.
Brian Douglas: So I
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: set up
Brian Douglas: tux for me.
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: done a
Brian Douglas: couple
Brian Douglas: other
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: I, my
Brian Douglas: machine
Brian Douglas: was like
Brian Douglas: taking
Brian Douglas: off
Brian Douglas: all the
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: Mm-hmm.
Brian Douglas: Turns out
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: had a
Brian Douglas: docker running,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: multiple
Brian Douglas: docker images
Brian Douglas: running
Brian Douglas: do it.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I was like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: I don’t know what’s going on,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: could you
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: check to see
Brian Douglas: like what’s
Brian Douglas: taking all the
Brian Douglas: CPU usage? I guess I
Brian Douglas: could have opened up
Brian Douglas: the the little, uh, box thing, but
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: you do
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: and, uh,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: works. So like, I, I honestly don’t set up anything like
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: vim, my
Brian Douglas: neo vim config was
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: port from
Brian Douglas: my,
Brian Douglas: was Janice
Brian Douglas: Vim from back
Brian Douglas: in the day.
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: had the
Brian Douglas: same template, the same dot files, but
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: I’d never
Brian Douglas: really updated it,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was like,
Brian Douglas: take
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: convert
Brian Douglas: it to
Brian Douglas: neo them. ,
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: took a couple
Brian Douglas: couple tries, but
Brian Douglas: yeah, cleaned up my dot files for me.
Robbie Wagner: nice. nice. Very nice.
Robbie Wagner: Okay. Related to ai, is AI to blame when people do
Robbie Wagner: dumb
Robbie Wagner: shit with it?
Brian Douglas: honestly,
Brian Douglas: it’s usually,
Brian Douglas: I’ll honest,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: gave a
Brian Douglas: whole talk
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: this, which
Brian Douglas: is like, it’s
Brian Douglas: literally
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: person at the
Brian Douglas: end of
Brian Douglas: the keyboard.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like if
Brian Douglas: you’re bad at
Brian Douglas: writing tests,
Brian Douglas: you’re gonna write
Brian Douglas: bad
Brian Douglas: tests with ai.
Brian Douglas: If you’re
Brian Douglas: bad at
Brian Douglas: documentation or
Brian Douglas: bad
Brian Douglas: at figuring
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: even shipping code,
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: probably
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: ship
Brian Douglas: pretty
Brian Douglas: bad
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: with ai.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: when,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: what you don’t
Brian Douglas: know,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: you do a better job.
Brian Douglas: sorry.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: heard
Brian Douglas: a, story of
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: company that a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: people
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: about. , And there was an engineer who was like re-implementing
Brian Douglas: a,
Brian Douglas: programming language.
Brian Douglas: using
Brian Douglas: AI
Brian Douglas: credits
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: at the company.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: pretty fascinating.
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: work
Brian Douglas: there anymore,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: like, when you
Brian Douglas: just do
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: dumb
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: that, like
Brian Douglas: why
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: need a new programming language for
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: problem?
Brian Douglas: It’s like
Brian Douglas: AI
Brian Douglas: can,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: build
Brian Douglas: something,
Brian Douglas: bespoke for
Brian Douglas: this situation. Like It’s
Brian Douglas: probably not the, the right
Brian Douglas: tool for the job.
Robbie Wagner: I dunno, there need to be some kind of disclaimers maybe because like. People don’t think about what they’re doing, AI just wants to
Robbie Wagner: solve the problem. It’s not caring if
Robbie Wagner: it’s
Robbie Wagner: like
Robbie Wagner: secure or good. It’s just like, yeah, all right, I’m gonna expose all your secret keys because I need to like push ‘em up to this like
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: The script that
Brian Douglas: has
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: literally the
Brian Douglas: service
Brian Douglas: token
Brian Douglas: directly
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the script. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: well
Brian Douglas: I’ve, I’ve,
Brian Douglas: got
Brian Douglas: that, but I, I’ve created rules
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: never do that
Brian Douglas: again.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: have like
Brian Douglas: 20
Brian Douglas: tests fail because
Brian Douglas: of some
Brian Douglas: legitimate
Brian Douglas: change and like you gotta update the
Brian Douglas: test. AI
Brian Douglas: doesn’t really know,
Brian Douglas: well,
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: least
Brian Douglas: I’ll, I’ll, pick
Brian Douglas: on Claude.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: the Claude
Brian Douglas: sonnet
Brian Douglas: model
Brian Douglas: doesn’t
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: to like
Brian Douglas: refactor.
Brian Douglas: It just knows
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: add.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: always
Brian Douglas: add
Brian Douglas: screen code
Brian Douglas: around
Brian Douglas: the place.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: then it’ll
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: okay,
Brian Douglas: 20
Brian Douglas: tests
Brian Douglas: fail.
Brian Douglas: 17
Brian Douglas: are passing,
Brian Douglas: we’re
Brian Douglas: good,
Brian Douglas: let’s move
Brian Douglas: along.
Brian Douglas: The
Brian Douglas: three
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: not,
Brian Douglas: they don’t, don’t, worry
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: those. Let’s
Brian Douglas: just like
Brian Douglas: move forward.
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: dude,
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: talking
Brian Douglas: about?
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: fix
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: test.
Brian Douglas: make. So
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: rule
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: basically,
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: touch
Brian Douglas: it, make
Brian Douglas: it better.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’s actually
Brian Douglas: pretty
Brian Douglas: good
Brian Douglas: because it will actually look
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: and it’s like the
Brian Douglas: first one
Brian Douglas: up. And if like, if
Robbie Wagner: you
Brian Douglas: it,
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: better.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: a 17 test pass.
Brian Douglas: Well, if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: touch
Brian Douglas: it, make
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: better.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: fix
Brian Douglas: as three
Brian Douglas: tests.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’s like, oh, you’re
Brian Douglas: absolutely right.
Nick Taylor: Yeah.
Nick Taylor: The class, you’re
Brian Douglas: absolutely right.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Great.
Nick Taylor: Oh I actually had Codex come
Brian Douglas: back and be like.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: OMG or
Brian Douglas: something
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: that.
Brian Douglas: It was something
Brian Douglas: dumb because
Brian Douglas: it’s trying to
Brian Douglas: be cool.
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: it was like
Brian Douglas: OMG. I can’t
Brian Douglas: believe I
Brian Douglas: did that.
Brian Douglas: I was like, what the,
Brian Douglas: please stop It’s like
Nick Taylor: that Steve Buscemi with the skateboard. Hello?
Brian Douglas: Yeah. That, That’s
Brian Douglas: GBT five
Brian Douglas: right
Brian Douglas: now.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: does a, it’s, it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a gar darn
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: whatever,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: dude, you’re trying too hard. Just
Brian Douglas: like ship the
Brian Douglas: code, dude.
Nick Taylor: Yeah. As the fries
Brian Douglas: in the bag as
Nick Taylor: long as
Nick Taylor: it’s not saying six, seven, that’s all like my,
Brian Douglas: oh boy.
Robbie Wagner: All right, so
Robbie Wagner: we’re at All Things
Robbie Wagner: Open.
Brian Douglas: Yes, we are. Tell me
Brian Douglas: about
Robbie Wagner: Open
Robbie Wagner: Source
Robbie Wagner: has
Robbie Wagner: influenced
Robbie Wagner: your life,
Brian Douglas: man. Open
Brian Douglas: source.
Brian Douglas: Uh,
Brian Douglas: I don’t
Brian Douglas: think I’d
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: here
Brian Douglas: without open
Brian Douglas: source,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: back when I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: just a
Brian Douglas: struggling artist and I’m just kidding.
Brian Douglas: actually mentioned in the
Brian Douglas: keynote, my
Brian Douglas: intro into programming was always
Brian Douglas: copy
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: pasting from
Brian Douglas: stuff I could find in
Brian Douglas: open source.
Brian Douglas: So, so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: used
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: play a
Brian Douglas: lot of like, uh, counterstrike or um,
Brian Douglas: rainbow
Brian Douglas: Six
Brian Douglas: Rogue Spirit. Like you would
Brian Douglas: mod it and find
Brian Douglas: something
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: Source
Brian Douglas: Forge.
Brian Douglas: And I
Brian Douglas: was like,
Brian Douglas: oh, cool.
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: copy paste,
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: something.
Brian Douglas: Or
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: when action
Brian Douglas: script
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: a thing with
Brian Douglas: flash
Brian Douglas: games, like, oh, copy and
Brian Douglas: paste,
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: a thing,
Brian Douglas: or MySpace, copy and
Brian Douglas: paste,
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: a thing.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: I decided I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: actually gonna like, try to build something
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: real,
Brian Douglas: ,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: ended
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: just like
Brian Douglas: taking,
Brian Douglas: existing code
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: remixing
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: into like. making
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: work
Brian Douglas: for me.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: which
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: didn’t know
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: was like,
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: a real
Brian Douglas: thing.
Brian Douglas: People
Brian Douglas: did it all
Brian Douglas: the time. Like stack overflow
Brian Douglas: development.
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: I learned
Brian Douglas: was like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: solve
Brian Douglas: problem,
Brian Douglas: copy
Brian Douglas: and paste
Brian Douglas: and shift
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: into
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: I can make it,
Brian Douglas: which
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: perfect for
Brian Douglas: ai.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: a hundred
Brian Douglas: percent like, oh
Brian Douglas: shape
Brian Douglas: of what I wanna do.
Brian Douglas: Read
Brian Douglas: this file,
Brian Douglas: build
Brian Douglas: it again
Brian Douglas: for me, but
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: it match
Brian Douglas: my design
Brian Douglas: system.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: unlocked,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: where I didn’t have a CS
Brian Douglas: degree.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: able
Brian Douglas: to like
Brian Douglas: just get
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: feel
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: could
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: something.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: been
Brian Douglas: managing my
Brian Douglas: imposter syndrome
Brian Douglas: ever since.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Nice, nice.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: So
Robbie Wagner: you mentioned your talk
Robbie Wagner: a few times.
Robbie Wagner: You wanna give us the, the highlights
Brian Douglas: Yeah. So I, I gave
Brian Douglas: two
Brian Douglas: talks.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: one was about finding future maintainers in the world of
Brian Douglas: ai
Brian Douglas: focus around like
Brian Douglas: ai, agents are
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: really
Brian Douglas: good job
Brian Douglas: of doing things, but that’s not
Brian Douglas: always
Brian Douglas: the right thing.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: like this a
Brian Douglas: bit
Brian Douglas: of like,
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: always
Brian Douglas: an
Brian Douglas: epidemic
Brian Douglas: around
Brian Douglas: open source
Brian Douglas: maintainer and like,
Brian Douglas: people being
Brian Douglas: burnt
Brian Douglas: out.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Like
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of people left over,
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: actually write
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: code.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’s even worse now with
Brian Douglas: ai.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was like encouraging folks to like write issues, do pr review, like introduce
Brian Douglas: the human in the loop. Like don’t
Brian Douglas: always trust the AI to do everything
Brian Douglas: for you.
Brian Douglas: cause
Brian Douglas: then that’s
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: knowledge transfer.
Brian Douglas: so like
Brian Douglas: once
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: prs merge, the story ends
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like that’s
Brian Douglas: at the point
Brian Douglas: where the story
Brian Douglas: starts
Brian Douglas: where you can
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: go back and be like, Hey agent,
Brian Douglas: let’s
Brian Douglas: go read
Brian Douglas: some prs
Brian Douglas: together.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: told
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: story
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: when I joined
Brian Douglas: GitHub, day
Brian Douglas: one,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: would sit
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: a room
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: people onboarding, and
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: would teach
Brian Douglas: you how to
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: GitHub for 90 minutes.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: had already
Brian Douglas: been like,
Brian Douglas: coding full time
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: point. So
Brian Douglas: most other
Brian Douglas: engineers
Brian Douglas: are like just doing a bunch of stuff.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: going
Brian Douglas: to PRS
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like going
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the way back
Brian Douglas: and paginating
Brian Douglas: and then
Brian Douglas: looking at all
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: founders code.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: looking
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: the issues that
Brian Douglas: were open,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the incinerated
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: that I
Brian Douglas: knew
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: outside, I was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: looked for those issues.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: crazy how easy it is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: see
Brian Douglas: that. when you work at GitHub because it’s
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: repo,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: nothing’s
Brian Douglas: deleted.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t think when Microsoft acquired
Brian Douglas: us,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: David deleted
Brian Douglas: anything,
Brian Douglas: it’s just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: there in
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: open,
Brian Douglas: full
Brian Douglas: value.
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: like storytelling
Brian Douglas: through
Brian Douglas: code.
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: but don’t
Brian Douglas: forget to
Brian Douglas: like write docs. If you’re
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: vibe code
Brian Douglas: the product,
Brian Douglas: at least write
Brian Douglas: some docs
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: vibe coding can
Brian Douglas: still happen the next time you’re in
Brian Douglas: a session.
Brian Douglas: and then this afternoon I get a 45 minute keynote on continuous ai.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I work at continuous my
Brian Douglas: day job.
Brian Douglas: I do DX there. And
Brian Douglas: the focus
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: can build, custom agents for bespoke
Brian Douglas: situations. So like if you
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: an agent
Brian Douglas: that just code reviews
Brian Douglas: or if an agent
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: only
Brian Douglas: fixed TypeScript
Brian Douglas: errors
Brian Douglas: and like,
Brian Douglas: make sure
Brian Douglas: your TypeScript
Brian Douglas: files are pristine.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: could build
Brian Douglas: agents for just that
Brian Douglas: thing.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: whether
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: ar,
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: like, there
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: like doing. like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: like writing
Brian Douglas: types. Yeah,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: honestly,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: the any
Brian Douglas: person,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the way AI is like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: put
Brian Douglas: any
Brian Douglas: there or unknown
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Is like,
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: me.
Brian Douglas: me
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: AI
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: we’re synergistic.
Brian Douglas: but I gotta force
Brian Douglas: AI to be like, no, let’s write
Brian Douglas: some types.
Brian Douglas: I have
Brian Douglas: rules around
Brian Douglas: how types,
Brian Douglas: this is how
Brian Douglas: we use types around
Brian Douglas: the project.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: gave like a 45
Brian Douglas: minute demo
Brian Douglas: that actually kind
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: failed,
Brian Douglas: because
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: shipped
Brian Douglas: some
Brian Douglas: stuff that broke,
Brian Douglas: broke
Brian Douglas: the build.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I had to do some ham waving on our hosted thing. But I showed
Brian Douglas: a bunch
Brian Douglas: of,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: local stuff. Nice,
Robbie Wagner: nice. nice. Yeah. I hadn’t considered like
Robbie Wagner: making
Robbie Wagner: specific agents
Robbie Wagner: to be like, you
Robbie Wagner: just care
Robbie Wagner: about
Robbie Wagner: types.
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: is actually
Brian Douglas: very rewarding
Brian Douglas: when you
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: very
Brian Douglas: granular
Brian Douglas: on that.
Brian Douglas: Where like
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: one at your
Brian Douglas: company that’s gonna
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh, I’m the types grip person.
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: probably gonna
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: fired,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: dude,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you spent all your day
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: massaging types
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: reviewing types,
Brian Douglas: like that’s not gonna happen.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: like for
Brian Douglas: an
Brian Douglas: agent,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: why
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: just have
Brian Douglas: TypeScript
Brian Douglas: agent?
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: this is
Brian Douglas: how,
Brian Douglas: like when
Brian Douglas: I worked at
Brian Douglas: GitHub,
Brian Douglas: they had specific,
Brian Douglas: knowledge
Brian Douglas: people.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: had the graph
Brian Douglas: qo, internal
Brian Douglas: GraphQL
Brian Douglas: team.
Brian Douglas: Like that
Brian Douglas: was not their
Brian Douglas: full-time
Brian Douglas: job,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: they were
Brian Douglas: like the
Brian Douglas: torch bearers of
Brian Douglas: like how
Brian Douglas: GraphQL worked at GitHub
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: payments team,
Brian Douglas: which
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: didn’t have a
Brian Douglas: payments team, but there
Brian Douglas: were some folks would go other places
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: come
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: for code
Brian Douglas: review.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: there were like
Brian Douglas: certain individuals, or when it came
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: like system
Brian Douglas: architecture
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: database design
Brian Douglas: where like
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: open
Brian Douglas: an
Brian Douglas: issue,
Brian Douglas: like everyone stops
Brian Douglas: and reads it.
Brian Douglas: Because
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: this is the future of GitHub.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: when we ship
Brian Douglas: GitHub actions, like there was an architecture design, a long dock, , and a couple issues and
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: couple demos
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: were recorded
Brian Douglas: of like, this is what we’re building.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: this is
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: future.
Brian Douglas: Same
Brian Douglas: thing, copilot
Brian Douglas: When
Brian Douglas: Uge
Brian Douglas: Uge
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: a CEO
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: expo, he left, , to go do
Brian Douglas: in a company,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: he also
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: the first,
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: funny,
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: a lot
Brian Douglas: of people
Brian Douglas: who
Brian Douglas: claim
Brian Douglas: to be
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the p
Brian Douglas: creator
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: copilot
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: the, the folks who
Brian Douglas: named it and like, that’s all true.
Brian Douglas: It
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like a,
Brian Douglas: a, team
Brian Douglas: of like
Brian Douglas: six
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: 7,
Brian Douglas: 6, 7.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: Uge
Brian Douglas: was one
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: kicked off
Brian Douglas: the idea of
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: taking
Brian Douglas: OPI
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: Mm-hmm.
Brian Douglas: so like
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: you started
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: demos, they
Brian Douglas: were
Brian Douglas: pretty bad
Brian Douglas: demos,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: they were
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: really interesting
Brian Douglas: and like, there was like
Brian Douglas: interesting story there that
Brian Douglas: you can like
Brian Douglas: stop and listen and learn. So like,
Brian Douglas: , We’re losing
Brian Douglas: a bit
Brian Douglas: of that
Brian Douglas: in the
Brian Douglas: AI revolution
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: should,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: if you’re
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: decision
Brian Douglas: with ai,
Brian Douglas: write
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: down
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: least
Brian Douglas: the next
Brian Douglas: person’s not
Brian Douglas: gonna be very
Brian Douglas: confused on like, why this code
Brian Douglas: is like
Brian Douglas: weird.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: no, you mentioning, well, I know you work at continue, but you’re talking about the agents, so does that mean you guys, I know you shipped a, a agent runner for like CICD pipelines. When you’re talking about the agents, like the TypeScript agents and stuff, are those
Nick Taylor: subagents kind of like Claude
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: honestly
Brian Douglas: that’s,
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: actually the
Brian Douglas: best
Brian Douglas: way
Brian Douglas: to kind of mental
Brian Douglas: frame.
Brian Douglas: This
Brian Douglas: is subagent and Quad. but.
Brian Douglas: Subagent
Brian Douglas: and Quad
Brian Douglas: that you could host and
Brian Douglas: share
Brian Douglas: across your team. So like with Quad, you
Brian Douglas: can host those
Brian Douglas: specifically in your quad,
Brian Douglas: folder, in
Brian Douglas: your repo. but
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: love about
Brian Douglas: subagent and quad
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: they’re
Brian Douglas: bespoke,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: also
Brian Douglas: ephemeral.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: a refactoring agent in Claude,
Brian Douglas: like I’ll
Brian Douglas: delete that all
Brian Douglas: the time.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: change
Brian Douglas: all the time.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: like, let’s just delete that and
Brian Douglas: we continue.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: less
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: deletion,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it’s more
Brian Douglas: about sharing.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: if you have
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: team,
Brian Douglas: like we
Brian Douglas: talk, we
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: work
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: enterprises across
Brian Douglas: multiple teams, like.
Brian Douglas: Most
Brian Douglas: of our
Brian Douglas: enterprise sales is like a hundred
Brian Douglas: minimum, a
Brian Douglas: hundred seats.
Brian Douglas: so your platform engineering, trying to scale AI within an
Brian Douglas: organization,
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: a chance that
Brian Douglas: you figured some stuff
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: that you
Brian Douglas: want to
Brian Douglas: go into
Brian Douglas: the room
Brian Douglas: and start training other engineers. So like you build all these other sub agents or what we call ‘em, agent workflows,
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: basically say,
Brian Douglas: okay,
Brian Douglas: this is the
Brian Douglas: TypeScript experience.
Brian Douglas: this is if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: ever have a TypeScript or
Brian Douglas: a JavaScript
Brian Douglas: thing,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: the thing you pull
Brian Douglas: for.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: could also make a
Brian Douglas: cho choice of like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: go
Brian Douglas: like.
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: sonnet, but
Brian Douglas: Haiku 3.5
Brian Douglas: because
Brian Douglas: like it’s cheaper.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: much
Brian Douglas: cheaper
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: you have
Brian Douglas: rules
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: bunch of other
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: prompts set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: your agent
Brian Douglas: being successful.
Brian Douglas: We don’t have to use the biggest
Brian Douglas: model all the time.
Brian Douglas: And I think
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: our difference between
Brian Douglas: like quad, quad selling models. Like they’re literally
Brian Douglas: a foundational
Brian Douglas: model. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: they’re always gonna
Brian Douglas: push
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: the biggest model.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: enterprise you
Brian Douglas: might
Brian Douglas: not have access
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: all that. So
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: we can
Brian Douglas: get you
Brian Douglas: getting that same experience
Brian Douglas: on a smaller
Brian Douglas: model.
Nick Taylor: so you support like open ai,
Brian Douglas: Yep.
Nick Taylor: do you do local models too? I
Brian Douglas: local
Brian Douglas: models is
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: we started.
Brian Douglas: So,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: our CTO came outta MIT.
Brian Douglas: Uh, he
Brian Douglas: actually went to
Brian Douglas: school with the
Brian Douglas: CEO of Cursor.
Brian Douglas: so graduated
Brian Douglas: same
Brian Douglas: class.
Brian Douglas: But he built a
Brian Douglas: VS. Code extension to make a LAMA work in vs code. so
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: predates, copilot, predates, almost everyone.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: that was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the focus for like 18 months.
Brian Douglas: , And
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: earlier this year we
Brian Douglas: built a SaaS product, you
Brian Douglas: could
Brian Douglas: also bring your own tokens in the, the local version. but the
Brian Douglas: SaaS product basically
Brian Douglas: gives you a hosted experience. So
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: SaaS product that enterprises use.
Brian Douglas: The
Brian Douglas: hub,
Brian Douglas: hub do continue dev.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like if you want to deploy
Brian Douglas: this to your, your a thousand
Brian Douglas: engineers across
Brian Douglas: your,
Brian Douglas: global
Brian Douglas: team, distributed
Brian Douglas: team,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: would be
Brian Douglas: the product
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: sort of have
Brian Douglas: that data
Brian Douglas: plane orchestration on.
Robbie Wagner: Okay. So
Robbie Wagner: I’m not
Robbie Wagner: sure I
Robbie Wagner: fully
Robbie Wagner: understand.
Robbie Wagner: So
Robbie Wagner: like, is,
Robbie Wagner: it, um,
Robbie Wagner: it’s
Robbie Wagner: like if, if you have a team of engineers and they all want to do a certain task, like the TypeScript thing you were
Robbie Wagner: talking
Robbie Wagner: about, Yeah. like
Robbie Wagner: they
Robbie Wagner: would log
Robbie Wagner: into
Robbie Wagner: this
Robbie Wagner: hub
Robbie Wagner: choose the
Robbie Wagner: TypeScript
Robbie Wagner: one
Robbie Wagner: and be like,
Robbie Wagner: I wanna
Robbie Wagner: do
Robbie Wagner: this thing
Robbie Wagner: in
Robbie Wagner: that,
Robbie Wagner: or
Robbie Wagner: like, yeah, more than likely you’re
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: even choosing
Brian Douglas: like it,
Brian Douglas: it get kicks
Brian Douglas: off. So
Brian Douglas: unfortunately
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: demo
Brian Douglas: failed
Brian Douglas: that I
Brian Douglas: didn’t
Brian Douglas: get to depart of the code review,
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: Code Rabbit and CODO are
Brian Douglas: both sponsors here and
Brian Douglas: like you could just
Brian Douglas: like install
Brian Douglas: those
Brian Douglas: code review
Brian Douglas: tools or
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: copilot off like for face
Brian Douglas: value. But the
Brian Douglas: interesting part about
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: is like,
Brian Douglas: where’s
Brian Douglas: that data
Brian Douglas: go?
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: it’s a hosted
Brian Douglas: server,
Brian Douglas: your entire code
Brian Douglas: base goes
Brian Douglas: off into the, like the,
Brian Douglas: it’s hard to
Brian Douglas: use in enterprise
Brian Douglas: basically. So
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: I have a
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: review
Brian Douglas: agent
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: basically I have
Brian Douglas: rules on how my
Brian Douglas: code is written
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the project and
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: we write
Brian Douglas: documentation.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I will have a
Brian Douglas: code review
Brian Douglas: agent
Brian Douglas: workflow
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: kicks
Brian Douglas: off
Brian Douglas: every time the PR
Brian Douglas: opens.
Brian Douglas: So it’s
Brian Douglas: funny
Brian Douglas: ‘cause
Brian Douglas: I didn’t
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: this part, but my entire talk
Brian Douglas: was gonna talked about the get up action
Brian Douglas: workflow that this kicks off
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: agent.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: way
Brian Douglas: we power this
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: through our CLI.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: quad code
Brian Douglas: ACL
Brian Douglas: I.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: RCI
Brian Douglas: is that
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: meant
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: like deliver for the
Brian Douglas: agent,
Brian Douglas: give an experience, it’s
Brian Douglas: meant
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: really just give
Brian Douglas: you a custom bespoke config. so
Brian Douglas: then you
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: like rules
Brian Douglas: for your
Brian Douglas: specific
Brian Douglas: situation. So
Brian Douglas: I’ll,
Brian Douglas: I’ll land the plane
Brian Douglas: with,
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: Germany
Brian Douglas: they have
Brian Douglas: car
Brian Douglas: manufacturers that
Brian Douglas: use continue.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: the reason
Brian Douglas: why it’s
Brian Douglas: important
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: them
Brian Douglas: is they
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: specific
Brian Douglas: bespoke language
Brian Douglas: that runs
Brian Douglas: on your
Brian Douglas: computer
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: Mercedes.
Brian Douglas: Oh, sorry,
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: runs on your
Brian Douglas: computer
Brian Douglas: in in your your your luxury,
Brian Douglas: luxury
Brian Douglas: car
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: unknown noise. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Whatever
Brian Douglas: car. Who knows what
Brian Douglas: German
Brian Douglas: luxury
Brian Douglas: brands there are, But
Brian Douglas: basically
Brian Douglas: those languages
Brian Douglas: that car
Brian Douglas: manufacturers use
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: to be me, like,
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: memory.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: language
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: trained on cursor, it’s
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: trained
Brian Douglas: in copilot.
Brian Douglas: It’s bespoke.
Brian Douglas: Has to run
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: own
Brian Douglas: models, your own training.
Brian Douglas: Okay. We
Brian Douglas: work
Brian Douglas: with that
Brian Douglas: situation. So if
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: okay, memory safe,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: like very specific to
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: cars
Brian Douglas: need
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: run a hundred miles or
Brian Douglas: an hour
Brian Douglas: or a
Brian Douglas: hundred
Brian Douglas: kilometers
Brian Douglas: an hour
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: crash.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: you cannot
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: stack
Brian Douglas: overflow
Brian Douglas: while you’re trying to
Brian Douglas: pump
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: brakes. Uh,
Brian Douglas: so there’s like
Brian Douglas: regulatory
Brian Douglas: places and like
Brian Douglas: finance
Brian Douglas: and stuff
Brian Douglas: like that where continue works very well
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: box ’
Brian Douglas: cause we’re open source first.
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: having
Brian Douglas: your custom cursor s
Brian Douglas: included experience,
Brian Douglas: but you ship it for your
Brian Douglas: team
Brian Douglas: within the enterprise. Okay.
Robbie Wagner: Olympics. Okay.
Brian Douglas: it’s hard
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: gr if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: work
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: a large
Brian Douglas: company
Brian Douglas: that has
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: bunch
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: these
Brian Douglas: like.
Brian Douglas: Best
Brian Douglas: practices or like thing like
Brian Douglas: rules and
Brian Douglas: regulations. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: works very
Brian Douglas: well
Brian Douglas: in places
Brian Douglas: that are highly regulated.
Robbie Wagner: Okay.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Interesting. I don’t know, I’m never
Robbie Wagner: allowed to
Robbie Wagner: use
Robbie Wagner: any
Robbie Wagner: fun things.
Robbie Wagner: I work
Robbie Wagner: for IBM,
Robbie Wagner: so
Robbie Wagner: it’s like, Oh, yeah. hey IBM
Robbie Wagner: use us.
Robbie Wagner: Oh, do they? Yeah. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: We,
Robbie Wagner: well then maybe I can
Robbie Wagner: do
Robbie Wagner: fun
Robbie Wagner: things.
Robbie Wagner: We
Robbie Wagner: did
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: co
Robbie Wagner: launch with,
Robbie Wagner: uh,
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: he’s talked
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: Gabe
Brian Douglas: Greenberg. He’s
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: he’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: dev
Brian Douglas: rel architect
Brian Douglas: guy.
Brian Douglas: I chat so I’m HashiCorp, so
Robbie Wagner: we
Robbie Wagner: just got
Brian Douglas: Oh, you’re on the other
Brian Douglas: side?
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I don’t like we’re having to change everything we do to, like
Robbie Wagner: everything they do
Brian Douglas: Yeah. I experienced
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: were
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: small
Brian Douglas: startup
Brian Douglas: inside of
Brian Douglas: Microsoft.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: called
Brian Douglas: GitHub
Brian Douglas: and,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Robbie Wagner: wait
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: minute, GitHub
Robbie Wagner: still
Brian Douglas: uses
Brian Douglas: Slack
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: day.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: imagine
Brian Douglas: because GitHub’s, all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: chat apps and the deploys happen in Slack.
Brian Douglas: You can’t do that
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: teams.
Robbie Wagner: Same.
Robbie Wagner: Same
Robbie Wagner: with us.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Like we
Robbie Wagner: had
Robbie Wagner: to
Robbie Wagner: switch from
Robbie Wagner: Zoom
Robbie Wagner: to
Robbie Wagner: teams
Robbie Wagner: for
Robbie Wagner: meetings,
Robbie Wagner: but
Robbie Wagner: like
Robbie Wagner: still
Robbie Wagner: chat
Robbie Wagner: in Slack
Robbie Wagner: and do all the stuff there. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: but what
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: love is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: we like
Brian Douglas: the, the,
Brian Douglas: Terraform,
Brian Douglas: MCP,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: if you
Brian Douglas: gotta like
Brian Douglas: spin
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: like an environment
Brian Douglas: or do a
Brian Douglas: thing that’s
Brian Douglas: ephemeral, what’s
Brian Douglas: great
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: this,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: you could
Brian Douglas: hook
Brian Douglas: the MCP
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: in the continue
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: your models
Brian Douglas: and run this
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: deployed on
Brian Douglas: the cloud
Brian Douglas: without needing to have
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: DevOps
Brian Douglas: behind
Brian Douglas: the scenes experience.
Brian Douglas: One of
Brian Douglas: the hardest
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: ever
Brian Douglas: did
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: when we
Brian Douglas: migrated
Brian Douglas: off of
Brian Douglas: Heroku at a GitHub,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: knowledge
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: DevOps,
Brian Douglas: but we had to all
Brian Douglas: move the
Brian Douglas: Kubernetes.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: ran this
Brian Douglas: your, your
Brian Douglas: sweater
Brian Douglas: was stars.github.com. Oh yeah, yeah.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: I had to
Brian Douglas: migrate that
Brian Douglas: that site
Brian Douglas: off
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: Heroku. ’
Brian Douglas: ‘cause
Brian Douglas: Heroku
Brian Douglas: had a vulnerability
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: found.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: before we
Brian Douglas: could
Brian Douglas: disclosed
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: move all
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: our
Brian Douglas: stuff off Heroku for
Brian Douglas: security
Brian Douglas: reasons. Oh
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Nick Taylor: Okay. Okay. Okay.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: didn’t
Brian Douglas: know how
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: Kubernetes.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I had
Brian Douglas: to like go, I
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: go beg engineers
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: re so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: had like
Brian Douglas: beg engineers
Brian Douglas: to be like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: hey,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: job, but
Brian Douglas: like, I have
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: idea
Brian Douglas: what I’m
Brian Douglas: doing.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: these docs
Brian Douglas: are,
Brian Douglas: like, they’re
Brian Douglas: cooked.
Brian Douglas: Like I have no idea what
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I I think
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: used cooked right?
Brian Douglas: I might even used that backwards.
Brian Douglas: Um, last chat.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: chat. Did I use cook, right?
Nick Taylor: Yeah. Are we
Brian Douglas: Are we cooking? Yeah,
Brian Douglas: So basically I had to like
Brian Douglas: beg
Brian Douglas: an engineer
Brian Douglas: and be
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: Hey, can we
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: pair on this?
Brian Douglas: but it’d been great to
Brian Douglas: have an
Brian Douglas: agent
Brian Douglas: and be like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: check out,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: call
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: Moda. If
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: take the
Brian Douglas: Moda MCP like in
Brian Douglas: conjunction to like your Terraform thing. ‘cause we also leveraged a lot of that stuff.
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: you just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: me
Brian Douglas: unblocked
Brian Douglas: and like
Brian Douglas: deploy
Brian Douglas: my thing
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: make it
Brian Douglas: work? so
Brian Douglas: it might’ve took me like, I think it was like a,
Brian Douglas: it was like around Christmas
Brian Douglas: time. I might’ve
Brian Douglas: spent
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: months,
Brian Douglas: January to
Brian Douglas: March,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: trying to figure
Brian Douglas: out myself.
Brian Douglas: And then finally
Brian Douglas: just like shout out to
Brian Douglas: Mike
Brian Douglas: McQuaid,
Brian Douglas: who’s like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: co-founder
Brian Douglas: of,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: work Brew.
Brian Douglas: also
Brian Douglas: maintainer
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: home
Brian Douglas: Brew.
Brian Douglas: He
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: did
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: me.
Brian Douglas: I’m like, dude,
Brian Douglas: thanks
Brian Douglas: so
Robbie Wagner: much.
Brian Douglas: Like, I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: know what
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: doing here. Like, I’m just
Brian Douglas: like, I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: stand on
Brian Douglas: stage
Brian Douglas: and talk
Brian Douglas: about cool things
Brian Douglas: like Beyonce.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Shout out to all the people that have helped all of us with all the things.
Robbie Wagner: ‘cause that’s part of like being a senior engineer, I feel like, is knowing the people that know the answers. or knowing the way to find the answers. That’s the
Brian Douglas: Yeah, the
Robbie Wagner: The everywhere you might wanna look,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Robbie Wagner: just trying to
Robbie Wagner: do
Robbie Wagner: it yourself
Robbie Wagner: is like
Robbie Wagner: you are gonna waste
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: lot
Robbie Wagner: of
Robbie Wagner: time.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: And it’s
Robbie Wagner: like,
Robbie Wagner: man,
Robbie Wagner: in
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: remote
Robbie Wagner: company it’s
Robbie Wagner: even
Brian Douglas: It’s like
Brian Douglas: perpetuated to
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: you’re like,
Brian Douglas: man, I wanna
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: DM
Brian Douglas: people
Brian Douglas: on Slack and be like,
Brian Douglas: hi,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: lemme
Brian Douglas: disengage.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I’m
Brian Douglas: too
Brian Douglas: scared
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: say I’m
Brian Douglas: dumb,
Brian Douglas: but hey,
Robbie Wagner: hi.
Robbie Wagner: I’m dumb. I
Robbie Wagner: do
Robbie Wagner: not
Robbie Wagner: know
Robbie Wagner: how DevOps DevOps works at this company. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: don’t
Robbie Wagner: tell
Robbie Wagner: anybody,
Robbie Wagner: but also
Robbie Wagner: can
Robbie Wagner: you
Robbie Wagner: do
Robbie Wagner: this
Robbie Wagner: for
Robbie Wagner: me?
Brian Douglas: Like,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: There
Robbie Wagner: goes
Robbie Wagner: your review. Yeah.

Robbie Wagner: more, Josh? Anybody?
Brian Douglas: Uh, I
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: take
Brian Douglas: another, Josh.
Brian Douglas: I’ll say hi to Josh. Shout out to
Brian Douglas: the render.
Brian Douglas: A
Brian Douglas: TL
Brian Douglas: popcorn that’s downstairs.
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: branded
Brian Douglas: popcorn?
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: they,
Robbie Wagner: had, oh, lemme pour this
Robbie Wagner: up here. And it was, uh,
Brian Douglas: And it was, um,
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: quite
Brian Douglas: salty.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: got like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: bottom
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: the batch,
Brian Douglas: but, man,
Nick Taylor: Okay,
Brian Douglas: it was good
Brian Douglas: though. I,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: needed
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: didn’t
Brian Douglas: do lunch.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: missed the,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: the Salads
Brian Douglas: and uh,
Brian Douglas: sandwiches. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: I, uh, remembered about lunch when they were like pushing all of the lunch away on
Robbie Wagner: carts as fast
Robbie Wagner: as
Robbie Wagner: they could. I was like, I’m gonna just skip that.
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t know if
Brian Douglas: this is
Brian Douglas: like a,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: are these
Brian Douglas: team
Brian Douglas: stores,
Brian Douglas: but they’re like on the money on this, uh, this venue.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Nick Taylor: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Oh, Yeah. Yeah. They’re like cleaning up stuff,
Brian Douglas: putting stuff away,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: Hey, I
Brian Douglas: wanted that
Brian Douglas: sticker. Like, where’s that
Brian Douglas: going?
Nick Taylor: Yeah, I, I gotta say though, shout out to Todd Lewis and the whole crew here. ‘cause this is my second year. I was at the AI one too, uh, in March. But like, they run a tight ship. Like it’s, it’s really well executed. Like I get my talk just before this and the AV people just came in. They’re like, boom, set up lights.
Nick Taylor: They’re like, I
Nick Taylor: said, uh,
Nick Taylor: there’s
Nick Taylor: something up with the projector. They just went boom, boom, boom. And I was go time
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Brian Douglas: Shout
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: to white mode
Brian Douglas: too
Brian Douglas: as well. I
Brian Douglas: love
Brian Douglas: this,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: community.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I, I
Brian Douglas: tell everyone
Brian Douglas: before
Brian Douglas: my talk, like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: interrupt me. ask
Brian Douglas: me
Brian Douglas: questions.
Brian Douglas: This
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: You
Brian Douglas: could
Brian Douglas: have like
Brian Douglas: literally bounced and
Brian Douglas: like did
Brian Douglas: something else cooler than
Brian Douglas: listening to AI talk. one
Brian Douglas: of the,
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: attendees
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: shouted
Brian Douglas: out and like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: switch
Brian Douglas: to light
Brian Douglas: mode.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause the,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: room
Robbie Wagner: was
Robbie Wagner: so
Brian Douglas: I didn’t realize
Brian Douglas: how bright it would be.
Brian Douglas: and I had
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: figure
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: how to change the
Brian Douglas: light
Brian Douglas: mode. ‘cause like, who uses that anymore?
Brian Douglas: oh dude. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: I don’t, I
Robbie Wagner: mean, I, I said everything to dark. Sometimes I’ll like do it based
Robbie Wagner: on
Robbie Wagner: the time of day,
Robbie Wagner: but
Robbie Wagner: like.
Robbie Wagner: It’s usually
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: used
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: that,
Brian Douglas: for, uh,
Brian Douglas: GitHub. I would switch
Brian Douglas: to light
Brian Douglas: mode,
Brian Douglas: in the
Brian Douglas: daytime
Brian Douglas: and then dark mode.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: actually had.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: forgot
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: plugin
Brian Douglas: it was,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: change
Brian Douglas: your,
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: system.
Brian Douglas: dark
Brian Douglas: mode. the light
Brian Douglas: mode
Brian Douglas: based on the time
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: day.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t think
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: actually works
Brian Douglas: anymore.
Brian Douglas: I, it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: too
Brian Douglas: many
Brian Douglas: versions of Mac os uh,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Yeah. A
Robbie Wagner: lot of
Robbie Wagner: private
Robbie Wagner: APIs
Robbie Wagner: there
Robbie Wagner: probably,
Robbie Wagner: but uh, no. I’m gonna buy
Robbie Wagner: code
Robbie Wagner: that.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah, Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: And
Robbie Wagner: Apple script.
Robbie Wagner: Oh man.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. I just
Nick Taylor: yeah,
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: thing one time. you run bootcamp before, I assume on a Mac where you can run windows.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, in, on the Windows side you can just click the little thing and like restart into Mac os
Robbie Wagner: Easily.
Robbie Wagner: But on Mac os it’s like you gotta go into settings, you gotta change your startup dis you gotta press all these buttons. You gotta put in your password. You gotta like, it won’t just let you restart.
Robbie Wagner: So I wrote a little like automation script thing that like clicked all
Robbie Wagner: that
Nick Taylor: nice.
Robbie Wagner: a thing in the menu bar
Robbie Wagner: to do it.
Robbie Wagner: But
Robbie Wagner: it
Robbie Wagner: stopped working
Robbie Wagner: after like a day. It did not, yeah. Very
Robbie Wagner: unreliable.
Robbie Wagner: That’s
Robbie Wagner: how I write
Robbie Wagner: software.
Robbie Wagner: I why? Yeah,
Nick Taylor: Consistently unreliable.
Robbie Wagner: yeah.
Robbie Wagner: yeah.
Robbie Wagner: So you tweeted that, I’m convinced there will not be a clear winner in the new AI coding era. Just a lot of happy devs getting new toys all
Robbie Wagner: the
Robbie Wagner: time.
Robbie Wagner: I’m curious what
Robbie Wagner: makes you say that you don’t
Robbie Wagner: think someone will win
Robbie Wagner: and, everyone else will fall by
Robbie Wagner: the
Robbie Wagner: wayside?
Brian Douglas: No, I,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: think who takes
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: most
Brian Douglas: money
Brian Douglas: will win.
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: opening eyes is like, what a bazillion dollar company and like a cursor took
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: $900 million round.
Brian Douglas: but it doesn’t promise
Brian Douglas: people to
Brian Douglas: be like
Brian Douglas: actual winners.
Brian Douglas: ,
Brian Douglas: It just
Brian Douglas: gives
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: lot of momentum
Brian Douglas: into
Brian Douglas: their
Brian Douglas: camp.
Brian Douglas: but I actually tweeted that because
Brian Douglas: I think,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: it was
Brian Douglas: like the week that
Brian Douglas: GitHub announced a bunch of stuff and then
Brian Douglas: OpenAI
Brian Douglas: announced
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: Codex
Brian Douglas: model
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: Their Codex
Brian Douglas: product
Brian Douglas: as well.
Brian Douglas: SONET four five,
Brian Douglas: shipped, and
Brian Douglas: then a
Brian Douglas: bunch
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: other
Brian Douglas: stuff like
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was a week before
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: Granite
Brian Douglas: four
Brian Douglas: models launch.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: when it
Brian Douglas: comes
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: models
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: tools, I
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: that we’re
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: we’re
Brian Douglas: good.
Brian Douglas: Like there’s so
Brian Douglas: many
Brian Douglas: cool
Brian Douglas: things around like.
Brian Douglas: Ai.
Brian Douglas: So like,
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t want do it in the
Brian Douglas: command line,
Brian Douglas: What was
Brian Douglas: it? Sculptor
Brian Douglas: came out
Brian Douglas: a couple
Brian Douglas: weeks
Brian Douglas: ago.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: also the, uh,
Brian Douglas: conductor.
Robbie Wagner: That sounds
Nick Taylor: Yeah, I haven’t heard of
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: sculptor is
Brian Douglas: like extremely
Brian Douglas: new.
Brian Douglas: It’s a
Brian Douglas: company
Brian Douglas: that like
Brian Douglas: raised $200 million
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: train
Brian Douglas: models
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then they’re
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: entry
Brian Douglas: point into the
Brian Douglas: market.
Brian Douglas: Is This like
Brian Douglas: really
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: Nice.
Brian Douglas: experience
Brian Douglas: when it comes to
Brian Douglas: like UIs for like interacting
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: Quad code? But
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: like.
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: tools are out
Brian Douglas: there,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: could just
Brian Douglas: leverage
Brian Douglas: them. And a lot of them are
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: gotta pay for some
Brian Douglas: stuff.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: a lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: shockingly
Brian Douglas: cheap. So
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: pay
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: Codex, I pay
Brian Douglas: for, they can’t
Brian Douglas: stay that
Robbie Wagner: way though.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
Robbie Wagner: well
Robbie Wagner: at
Robbie Wagner: the
Brian Douglas: Google
Brian Douglas: Open AI
Brian Douglas: Microsoft
Brian Douglas: level,
Brian Douglas: 20
Brian Douglas: bucks a
Brian Douglas: month is
Brian Douglas: fine.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. But for
Brian Douglas: companies
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: gotta
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: real
Brian Douglas: money,
Brian Douglas: probably
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: Devon’s
Brian Douglas: like 500
Brian Douglas: bucks a
Brian Douglas: month.
Brian Douglas: I’ve never used
Brian Douglas: it,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: enough
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: won’t use
Brian Douglas: it.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: just
Robbie Wagner: don’t like
Robbie Wagner: the
Robbie Wagner: concept,
Robbie Wagner: like
Robbie Wagner: the
Robbie Wagner: whole
Robbie Wagner: branding ’
Robbie Wagner: around.
Robbie Wagner: It’s like, fuck
Robbie Wagner: you. Like
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Robbie Wagner: yeah,
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Brian Douglas: It’s, it’s
Brian Douglas: real
Brian Douglas: Because, I
Brian Douglas: don’t know,
Brian Douglas: man,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: interviewed
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: company
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: felt
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: didn’t
Brian Douglas: know.
Brian Douglas: what they
Brian Douglas: were doing.
Brian Douglas: They’re just kind of
Brian Douglas: like, they
Brian Douglas: had
Brian Douglas: a really good
Brian Douglas: moment
Brian Douglas: that they had
Brian Douglas: momentum
Brian Douglas: from.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: shout
Brian Douglas: out the team.
Brian Douglas: Uh, they have
Brian Douglas: Windsurf.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: So used
Brian Douglas: it since.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Switch
Brian Douglas: Is
Brian Douglas: there.
Brian Douglas: They, I
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: Switch
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: excited
Brian Douglas: about what they’re
Brian Douglas: shipping soon. So like
Brian Douglas: we’ll
Brian Douglas: see,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: end
Brian Douglas: of the
Brian Douglas: day,
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: I’ll
Brian Douglas: eventually use
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: I was
Brian Douglas: never
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: cursor user
Brian Douglas: until I joined,
Brian Douglas: continue. cause I’m like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: should
Brian Douglas: probably
Brian Douglas: use a
Brian Douglas: bunch of other
Brian Douglas: stuff.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: very
Brian Douglas: much
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: chat with
Brian Douglas: chat
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: copilot
Robbie Wagner: Sure. And like,
Brian Douglas: edit
Brian Douglas: my code, just
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: tell
Brian Douglas: me
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: and I’ll write
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was perfectly
Brian Douglas: fine with
Brian Douglas: that,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: got a job
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the space and I’m like,
Brian Douglas: oh, okay,
Brian Douglas: let’s
Brian Douglas: skull all in.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. see
Brian Douglas: far it can take me.
Robbie Wagner: take.
Robbie Wagner: Well, it’s annoying when it’s doing it for you, but doing a bad job. Because it does a lot of that, and I’m like, just
Robbie Wagner: stop,
Robbie Wagner: please, like,
Robbie Wagner: give me a little
Robbie Wagner: suggestion and then we’ll
Robbie Wagner: iterate from there. Instead
Robbie Wagner: of like,
Robbie Wagner: oh,
Robbie Wagner: I just
Robbie Wagner: edited
Robbie Wagner: a hundred files.
Robbie Wagner: Like,
Nick Taylor: Yeah.
Nick Taylor: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Oh
Brian Douglas: man.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: have like,
Brian Douglas: um,
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: pre-commit hook.
Brian Douglas: ’ I,
Brian Douglas: ended up
Brian Douglas: starting
Brian Douglas: a project,
Brian Douglas: uh, contribute info. I
Brian Douglas: started as
Brian Douglas: bolt new,
Brian Douglas: it was
Brian Douglas: vibe code. I was Like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: let me see
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: can like, repeat
Brian Douglas: some,
Brian Douglas: some
Brian Douglas: things
Brian Douglas: that I
Brian Douglas: like. I
Brian Douglas: want in
Brian Douglas: open
Brian Douglas: sauce
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: has
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: been
Brian Douglas: sunsetted,
Brian Douglas: but I’m like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: need
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: chart,
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: chart with the faces.
Brian Douglas: Can
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: happen?
Nick Taylor: Oh, you still on that one?
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: dropped
Brian Douglas: a,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: Figma,
Brian Douglas: attempt, like basically a
Brian Douglas: Figma
Brian Douglas: design and it made it,
Brian Douglas: I’m like,
Brian Douglas: cool,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: this AI
Brian Douglas: stuff.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: it had like
Brian Douglas: any
Brian Douglas: types everywhere,
Brian Douglas: so it
Brian Douglas: was just
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: really
Brian Douglas: bad
Brian Douglas: type
Brian Douglas: script code.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: I’m like
Brian Douglas: cool,
Brian Douglas: lemme
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: linter so I can start
Brian Douglas: fixing stuff,
Brian Douglas: 3,500
Brian Douglas: linting
Brian Douglas: errors.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: okay,
Brian Douglas: lemme
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: rule
Brian Douglas: that
Robbie Wagner: you don’t
Robbie Wagner: fix
Robbie Wagner: any linting stuff you touch
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: file. Yeah. So
Brian Douglas: if you touch
Brian Douglas: it,
Brian Douglas: fix
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: but every
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: and then
Brian Douglas: it’ll forget.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: will
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: touch
Brian Douglas: 300
Brian Douglas: plus
Brian Douglas: files. ’
Brian Douglas: ‘cause
Brian Douglas: GitHub
Brian Douglas: now doesn’t tell
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: how many
Brian Douglas: files
Brian Douglas: it touch.
Brian Douglas: It’s 300
Brian Douglas: plus.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: it’ll
Brian Douglas: touch every file
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: fix
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: thank
Brian Douglas: you.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: thank
Brian Douglas: you for so
Robbie Wagner: much
Robbie Wagner: for fixing
Robbie Wagner: this,
Robbie Wagner: but
Robbie Wagner: we’re
Robbie Wagner: not doing
Robbie Wagner: this now.
Brian Douglas: So like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: touch
Brian Douglas: it, we fix
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: Don’t
Brian Douglas: go off
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: feel
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: change
Brian Douglas: the earth. And
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: like a
Brian Douglas: hundred
Brian Douglas: percent
Brian Douglas: junior
Brian Douglas: engineer.
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: and be like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: converted our app
Brian Douglas: to TypeScript
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: be like.
Brian Douglas: Did we
Robbie Wagner: beat this?
Robbie Wagner: No,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: read
Brian Douglas: a blog
Brian Douglas: post.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: yeah. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: yeah. Remember
Brian Douglas: those
Brian Douglas: days?
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: read a,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: went to a
Brian Douglas: conference
Brian Douglas: talk,
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then I rewrote
Brian Douglas: our
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: into
Robbie Wagner: for whatever random
Robbie Wagner: thing
Robbie Wagner: that
Robbie Wagner: someone said
Robbie Wagner: and
Robbie Wagner: like,
Robbie Wagner: just
Robbie Wagner: approve
Robbie Wagner: it.
Robbie Wagner: We’re
Robbie Wagner: good.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: That’s AI
Robbie Wagner: too
Robbie Wagner: enthusiastic.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: I had a hard time with Cursor because I don’t remember what I was trying to do or like exactly what happened, but the gist of it was. I was trying to edit this file and it was like, here’s what I’m gonna do. Like I’m gonna do this stuff.
Robbie Wagner: I’m gonna edit it like this. I’m like, cool, do it. It’s like done. And I was
Robbie Wagner: like,
Robbie Wagner: I’m looking at the diff you’ve made zero changes. Can you do it? And it’s like, yeah, yeah. Sorry. My bad.
Robbie Wagner: I’ll
Robbie Wagner: do it.
Robbie Wagner: And
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: it was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: did
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: changes
Brian Douglas: again.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was like.
Brian Douglas: Oh man, comedy,
Brian Douglas: like, are you
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: gonna keep telling
Brian Douglas: me
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: the changes and then
Brian Douglas: not
Robbie Wagner: it’s
Robbie Wagner: like gas.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Robbie Wagner: that’s
Robbie Wagner: what I’m doing.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: alright, cool.
Brian Douglas: Thanks. That’s let know
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: got it on gas mode.
Brian Douglas: It is just gassing
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: up.
Brian Douglas: It’s like, Yeah. I got
Brian Douglas: that. I
Brian Douglas: got that.
Brian Douglas: I know what
Brian Douglas: I’m Doing.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: It’s like you, no you don’t. This
Brian Douglas: is,
Brian Douglas: uh, my
Brian Douglas: experience
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: Gemini COI, which
Brian Douglas: is, uh,
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: feel
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is my
Brian Douglas: second glass now, or Cup. Josh
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: coming
Brian Douglas: through.
Brian Douglas: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Josh,
Brian Douglas: thank you
Brian Douglas: so much for
Brian Douglas: giving me the
Brian Douglas: confidence
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: share
Brian Douglas: these
Brian Douglas: stories.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: Gemini
Brian Douglas: has
Brian Douglas: this router
Brian Douglas: built
Brian Douglas: in, and this is the world that
Brian Douglas: AI’s
Brian Douglas: going to
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: really
Brian Douglas: choose
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: models anymore.
Brian Douglas: It just
Brian Douglas: routes
Brian Douglas: to the
Brian Douglas: best
Brian Douglas: model. Perplexity has this as
Brian Douglas: well,
Brian Douglas: most
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: chat JBT
Brian Douglas: will
Brian Douglas: route
Brian Douglas: now,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: Gemini’s like
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: pay $20 a
Brian Douglas: month,
Brian Douglas: Gemini
Brian Douglas: Flash, it’s like, oh
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: good
Brian Douglas: idea.
Brian Douglas: Gemini flash,
Brian Douglas: like smallest
Brian Douglas: model.
Nick Taylor: I
Nick Taylor: was Hey,
Brian Douglas: let’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: rewrite
Brian Douglas: some stuff.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’s like,
Brian Douglas: cool.
Brian Douglas: It like
Brian Douglas: wrote
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: JavaScript file. I’m like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: the app’s
Brian Douglas: type script.
Brian Douglas: It’s like,
Brian Douglas: what’s going
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: here?
Brian Douglas: Yeah. but it’s
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: it’s,
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: I’m doing. Stop, stop, stop asking
Brian Douglas: me questions.
Brian Douglas: Here
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: go.
Brian Douglas: Here’s
Brian Douglas: the types, here’s
Brian Douglas: the JavaScript file.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: it’s, it’s,
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: comical on how,
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: bad it
Brian Douglas: can
Brian Douglas: be sometimes,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: there’s
Brian Douglas: ways to
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: better.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: add
Brian Douglas: rules,
Brian Douglas: add
Brian Douglas: context,
Brian Douglas: make
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: read
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: file
Brian Douglas: before
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: start
Brian Douglas: writing
Brian Douglas: code. Like
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: go to
Brian Douglas: auto
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: vibe,
Brian Douglas: coding
Brian Douglas: mode,
Brian Douglas: interacting
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: it first
Brian Douglas: before
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: go into like
Brian Douglas: auto
Robbie Wagner: changes. Yeah, Yeah,
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: learned a lot
Brian Douglas: of that
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: in the last
Brian Douglas: couple
Brian Douglas: months and it’s
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: been
Brian Douglas: rewarding.
Brian Douglas: To say the
Brian Douglas: least.
Robbie Wagner: I guess
Robbie Wagner: the frustration is like when you’re really deep, you’re starting to feel like it’s a real person talking to you. So you’re like,
Robbie Wagner: Hey,
Robbie Wagner: you sound like you
Robbie Wagner: know
Robbie Wagner: what you’re
Robbie Wagner: doing.
Robbie Wagner: Why
Robbie Wagner: don’t you do it
Robbie Wagner: and it won’t
Robbie Wagner: do it.
Robbie Wagner: And
Robbie Wagner: it’s like,
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: forget that you
Robbie Wagner: actually don’t know
Robbie Wagner: anything
Robbie Wagner: at all.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Robbie Wagner: yeah.
Robbie Wagner: It’s
Robbie Wagner: a reflection yourself.
Brian Douglas: You’re
Brian Douglas: looking at
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: man
Brian Douglas: in the mirror.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: AI
Brian Douglas: is just
Brian Douglas: reflecting
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: are.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Uh, But I
Robbie Wagner: wish it would be more humble, be like, Hey, actually I don’t know anything,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: based
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: info
Brian Douglas: you’ve given
Robbie Wagner: me, this might maybe
Robbie Wagner: kind of work like then I’d be like, all right,
Robbie Wagner: that’s acceptable.
Brian Douglas: Well,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: know what’s
Brian Douglas: fun is
Brian Douglas: actually take
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a code rabbit
Brian Douglas: review
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: tell
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: quad model and be
Brian Douglas: like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: critically
Brian Douglas: review this
Brian Douglas: review
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: it’ll be
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: model
Brian Douglas: made a wrong decision.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: hallucinated,
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: it just
Brian Douglas: becomes
Brian Douglas: super
Brian Douglas: real
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: not them.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is dumb.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: listen
Brian Douglas: to this.
Brian Douglas: Only
Brian Douglas: take these
Brian Douglas: changes.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. And I
Brian Douglas: love
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: because
Brian Douglas: I’m like,
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: comment
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: the repo
Brian Douglas: and at
Brian Douglas: mention
Brian Douglas: the review bot
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: review
Robbie Wagner: bot.
Robbie Wagner: Like no,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah, they’re
Robbie Wagner: wrong.
Robbie Wagner: Nah.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’ll
Brian Douglas: just be like
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: forth.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: enough
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: these
Brian Douglas: review
Brian Douglas: bots
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: there,
Brian Douglas: it will app
Brian Douglas: mention
Brian Douglas: each
Brian Douglas: other
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like it’s,
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: and forth that
Brian Douglas: will
Brian Douglas: just go off.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: it’s like one
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: those
Brian Douglas: things where
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: take
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: two
Brian Douglas: phones
Brian Douglas: talk
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: ‘em
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: phones
Brian Douglas: are like this now.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: no,
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: rotary device
Brian Douglas: now. It’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: these
Brian Douglas: two
Brian Douglas: phones
Brian Douglas: and you like,
Brian Douglas: let
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: talk
Brian Douglas: to each
Brian Douglas: other.
Brian Douglas: it,
Brian Douglas: gets
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: little
Brian Douglas: fun in the
Robbie Wagner: review
Robbie Wagner: box. I
Robbie Wagner: wish
Robbie Wagner: I,
Robbie Wagner: I’ll
Robbie Wagner: probably
Robbie Wagner: do a deadline. I’ll make a
Robbie Wagner: video about
Robbie Wagner: it.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. That seems
Robbie Wagner: fun
Robbie Wagner: to
Robbie Wagner: watch.
Brian Douglas: It
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: fun because
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you tell
Brian Douglas: Claude, because I use
Brian Douglas: Claude for
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: in, uh, GitHub,
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: if you’re
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: Claude
Brian Douglas: GitHub reviewed
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: this,
Brian Douglas: and then
Brian Douglas: Claude would be like,
Brian Douglas: GitHub GitHub Amateur,
Nick Taylor: Why
Brian Douglas: keep
Brian Douglas: using that
Robbie Wagner: tool?
Robbie Wagner: Like
Robbie Wagner: it doesn’t know what
Robbie Wagner: it’s
Robbie Wagner: talking
Robbie Wagner: about.
Robbie Wagner: this
Robbie Wagner: is
Robbie Wagner: how I actually
Brian Douglas: instruct
Brian Douglas: the code.
Brian Douglas: Ignore
Brian Douglas: this stuff.
Brian Douglas: Only
Brian Douglas: change
Brian Douglas: this.
Robbie Wagner: It’s like, Hey, GitHub.
Brian Douglas: Claude said,
Brian Douglas: Claude said
Robbie Wagner: that
Robbie Wagner: you’re
Robbie Wagner: the gossip, You’re a pussy.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: know you
Robbie Wagner: curse the story.
Nick Taylor: I dunno.
Robbie Wagner: You
Robbie Wagner: can say whatever you
Robbie Wagner: want.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: This is not a
Robbie Wagner: family show.
Nick Taylor: I can say it. Claude said, you’re,
Nick Taylor: a bitch.
Robbie Wagner: Oh, man.
Brian Douglas: oh, man. yeah.
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Brian Douglas: Claude said
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: kaons to actually review the code. Because you don’t know what you’re talking about, and then it finds your
Brian Douglas: quad token
Brian Douglas: and deletes it.
Nick Taylor: It’s like, see what you, how do you like them apples?
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Actually, it’s
Brian Douglas: funny
Brian Douglas: enough, I,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: GPT in
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: app,
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: every now
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: quad
Brian Douglas: model will
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: actually rewritten the
Brian Douglas: use quad. and I’m
Brian Douglas: like,
Robbie Wagner: no, no. no. no, no.
Brian Douglas: Stop
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: right now.
Robbie Wagner: now. We
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: GPT
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: in-app browsing stuff.
Brian Douglas: We used a quad
Brian Douglas: model to
Brian Douglas: write
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like it. Every
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: and I get a little overzealous and be like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: hey,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: wrote
Brian Douglas: this,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: plan
Brian Douglas: up. But,
Brian Douglas: instead
Brian Douglas: of using GPTO four oh, like we’re
Brian Douglas: gonna use
Brian Douglas: quad sonet for
Brian Douglas: this. Right.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: no.
Brian Douglas: get outta
Brian Douglas: here
Brian Douglas: with that.
Robbie Wagner: Oh,
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: love
Robbie Wagner: it though.
Brian Douglas: Like Quad’s.
Brian Douglas: literally a dev re ai.
Brian Douglas: agent.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: constantly
Brian Douglas: selling
Brian Douglas: you into
Brian Douglas: stuff you should be
Brian Douglas: using.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Nick Taylor: It’s
Nick Taylor: so
Nick Taylor: funny too when like, like, ‘cause I use it to, I don’t just say make a blog post for me. I bring, I pull in sources, stuff I’ve been working on. I’ll tweak it and claw and be like, this is ready to ship. And then I start a
Nick Taylor: new conversation, I paste it in, review this critically,
Nick Taylor: and
Nick Taylor: then
Nick Taylor: it’s like,
Nick Taylor: and it’s like,
Brian Douglas: man,
Brian Douglas: fun.
Nick Taylor: things again.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: gives you
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: confidence,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: it’s like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: quads,
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: a, it’s
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: developer
Brian Douglas: of a
Brian Douglas: couple beers in
Brian Douglas: them
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: It’s like, Hey, I’m
Brian Douglas: good.
Brian Douglas: Go all night. Always
Brian Douglas: on the
Brian Douglas: bomber
Brian Douglas: peak.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Yeah. All
Brian Douglas: night
Brian Douglas: until
Brian Douglas: you run outta tokens. Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. I guess
Robbie Wagner: that’s the ultimate
Robbie Wagner: goal is to just string
Robbie Wagner: you
Robbie Wagner: along
Robbie Wagner: until you
Robbie Wagner: spend all your money.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: That was the, That was
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: case
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: like when folks are doing quad code, early days, where
Brian Douglas: you are like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: pay the
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: hundred dollars or whatever it is, let’s just use tokens and like
Brian Douglas: quickly you’re
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: wrote
Brian Douglas: a commit
Brian Douglas: message
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: paid $14. Like what
Robbie Wagner: happened?
Robbie Wagner: yeah,
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Robbie Wagner: I was
Robbie Wagner: using, uh, KLE. I think that’s what it’s called, right?
Robbie Wagner: Yeah. And it’s like that,
Robbie Wagner: or it’s like,
Robbie Wagner: oh, each thing you’re
Robbie Wagner: doing is
Robbie Wagner: like,
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: cent
Robbie Wagner: or
Robbie Wagner: whatever. But then, you know, $25 later you’re like, oh, okay, let’s
Robbie Wagner: stop
Robbie Wagner: doing this.
Brian Douglas: This
Brian Douglas: is good.
Brian Douglas: This
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a buying the first
Brian Douglas: round of
Brian Douglas: drinks, like Hey, how many
Brian Douglas: people
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: here? Wait, how
Brian Douglas: do we get
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: number?
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah,
Nick Taylor: Yeah, that’s like, there’s, uh, I think I was mentioning you a few weeks ago, or, when I was in SF last time, there’s this
Nick Taylor: project called sniffly.dev, which works well with Claude Code and it’s like, I’m pretty new to Kubernetes still.
Nick Taylor: And like my talk today, I was talking about Kubernetes and I had to get like a cluster up and stuff. my head of engineering is like, he has alerts on spend for, for philanthropic. And he’s like, yeah,
Nick Taylor: I
Nick Taylor: can
Nick Taylor: tell
Nick Taylor: when Nick’s like working on a demo because it’s like, it goes from like $4 a day to like 180 bucks or whatever.
Nick Taylor: But it’s, uh, but the funny thing is like, that sounds super expensive
Nick Taylor: but at
Nick Taylor: the same
Nick Taylor: time,
Nick Taylor: it’s like
Nick Taylor: I
Nick Taylor: spent like maybe
Nick Taylor: a day,
Nick Taylor: day
Nick Taylor: and
Nick Taylor: a
Nick Taylor: half,
Nick Taylor: just kind of troubleshoot
Nick Taylor: something and then.
Nick Taylor: I
Nick Taylor: didn’t
Nick Taylor: bug anybody.
Nick Taylor: So like Somebody’s
Nick Taylor: salary,
Nick Taylor: like 180 bucks
Nick Taylor: is like a
Nick Taylor: drop
Nick Taylor: in the pond
Nick Taylor: compared to like,
Brian Douglas: oh, speak
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: yourself. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: I’m just Kidding.
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: actually track
Brian Douglas: how our
Brian Douglas: engineers
Brian Douglas: and how much they spend on models and tokens ‘cause
Brian Douglas: it actually
Brian Douglas: helps influence how we plan
Brian Douglas: our product
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: folks will use
Brian Douglas: it.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: think I
Brian Douglas: was like
Brian Douglas: rewriting the
Brian Douglas: docs
Brian Douglas: I’ll
Brian Douglas: use
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: quad mode actually
Brian Douglas: using
Brian Douglas: Opus
Brian Douglas: because Opus is great
Brian Douglas: for the
Brian Douglas: context
Brian Douglas: window
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like deep
Brian Douglas: thinking. So if
Brian Douglas: you’re
Brian Douglas: like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: look
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: all these
Brian Douglas: prs,
Brian Douglas: let’s
Brian Douglas: scaffold
Brian Douglas: out some
Brian Douglas: docs.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: I did like a
Brian Douglas: Monday
Brian Douglas: and it was like
Brian Douglas: $400 for the day.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh
Brian Douglas: man,
Brian Douglas: amazing.
Brian Douglas: Let’s keep
Brian Douglas: going.
Robbie Wagner: Spend,
Robbie Wagner: Spend,
Robbie Wagner: spend
Robbie Wagner: baby
Robbie Wagner: VC
Robbie Wagner: money.
Brian Douglas: Um,
Brian Douglas: but Yeah.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it, it,
Brian Douglas: it’s,
Brian Douglas: good
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: see,
Brian Douglas: like, I
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: when I see
Brian Douglas: those numbers
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: run
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: PR and it tells me like, oh, you spent
Brian Douglas: 13
Brian Douglas: cents.
Brian Douglas: It’s like, Oh,
Brian Douglas: okay,
Brian Douglas: cool.
Brian Douglas: That’s
Brian Douglas: 13 cents
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: time. I didn’t
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: spend
Brian Douglas: going
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: forth
Brian Douglas: fixing
Brian Douglas: types.
Nick Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. Totally
Robbie Wagner: worth it
Robbie Wagner: as long
Robbie Wagner: as you’re keeping an eye
Robbie Wagner: on
Robbie Wagner: it.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: So
Brian Douglas: back to
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: tweet,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: literally
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: we’re
Brian Douglas: in the
Brian Douglas: heyday
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: spent a
Brian Douglas: ton of
Brian Douglas: time
Brian Douglas: not writing code,
Brian Douglas: doing the
Brian Douglas: whole dev rail thing
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: I’d
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: ship a
Brian Douglas: bunch of tech
Brian Douglas: debt
Brian Douglas: and like a bunch of side projects. I think I had like one PR inside a GitHub my
Brian Douglas: entire five
Brian Douglas: years
Brian Douglas: there.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: knew like
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: code,
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: maintaining that.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: that was like,
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: promise of like,
Brian Douglas: if you’re gonna
Brian Douglas: open
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: pr,
Brian Douglas: we’re
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: ask
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: about it later.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: And it’s like, ah, I don’t want that.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t
Brian Douglas: want
Brian Douglas: that job.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: didn’t sign up for
Brian Douglas: that.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: nowadays
Brian Douglas: I’m like, oh,
Brian Douglas: spent
Brian Douglas: all summer
Brian Douglas: basically
Brian Douglas: doing python
Brian Douglas: and data
Brian Douglas: science.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I was super interested in like learning it, but
Brian Douglas: I’m not going back
Brian Douglas: to school for
Brian Douglas: that.
Brian Douglas: Sure. I’m like, not gonna
Brian Douglas: bug
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: friend
Brian Douglas: to like, do it for me. so I was just like, cool.
Brian Douglas: so I built
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: that’s like
Brian Douglas: DLT
Brian Douglas: hub,
Brian Douglas: and duct db, which are just Python data science tools. but
Brian Douglas: I built a
Brian Douglas: sandbox
Brian Douglas: to basically
Brian Douglas: work inside of
Brian Douglas: GitHub repos and like just start asking questions.
Brian Douglas: That’s actually
Brian Douglas: what John built for us in,
Brian Douglas: um, the
Brian Douglas: SQL
Brian Douglas: Editor thing.
Brian Douglas: that’s how I
Brian Douglas: do like feature development. It’s like is getting the SQL
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: think
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: like what data I can
Brian Douglas: show, like
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: charts I
Brian Douglas: can put together based on the data I have at hand.
Brian Douglas: so I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: rebuilt
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I was just like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: how to
Brian Douglas: architect
Brian Douglas: this thing.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: I just gotten
Brian Douglas: the quad
Brian Douglas: desktop,
Brian Douglas: it spit
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: bunch of things.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: might’ve did it seven
Brian Douglas: times,
Brian Douglas: built
Brian Douglas: out
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: plan for
Brian Douglas: this.
Brian Douglas: And then I finally was happy
Brian Douglas: with like
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: it got
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: and how
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: maintain it.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: been
Brian Douglas: like running this sting, for the past three months. It’s
Brian Douglas: been running on a fly
Brian Douglas: box
Brian Douglas: in production. Yeah. Its that for
Brian Douglas: contributor
Brian Douglas: info,
Brian Douglas: Yeah,
Brian Douglas: contributor info is like
Brian Douglas: literally, uh, we called it pizza time,
Brian Douglas: back in the open source time. So, pizza time was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: our, our, data
Brian Douglas: pipeline is like rebuilding the getup archive.
Brian Douglas: I essentially rebuilt
Brian Douglas: that,
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: through
Brian Douglas: ideas
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: chatting
Brian Douglas: with, with ai. cause I
Brian Douglas: wasn’t
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: person that built it,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: I knew
Brian Douglas: like the
Brian Douglas: concept.
Brian Douglas: And I,
Brian Douglas: I,
Brian Douglas: I had
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: concept of
Brian Douglas: a plan
Brian Douglas: and,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: I took that plan and like implemented it, which is,
Brian Douglas: yeah,
Brian Douglas: I feel like I’m
Brian Douglas: in a, a bit of a renaissance when it comes to AI and like
Brian Douglas: getting
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: into
Brian Douglas: my, uh,
Brian Douglas: getting
Brian Douglas: my groove
Brian Douglas: back
Brian Douglas: essentially.
Nick Taylor: so, you drinking from the fire
Nick Taylor: hose? the
Nick Taylor: the events,
Brian Douglas: Yes.
Brian Douglas: Okay.
Brian Douglas: Okay.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Brian Douglas: So the
Brian Douglas: events,
Brian Douglas: API
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: GitHub,
Brian Douglas: you go to api.com/events. You get
Brian Douglas: at the
Brian Douglas: time at Open
Brian Douglas: Source, it was every seven minutes. You get like new events, they’ve switched into every hour.
Brian Douglas: but you
Brian Douglas: can just pull that
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: get
Brian Douglas: every
Brian Douglas: event,
Brian Douglas: every repo
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: want.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I don’t
Brian Douglas: get every
Brian Douglas: single
Brian Douglas: repo.
Brian Douglas: Okay? Uh, I only
Brian Douglas: get like 51 repos. So if you’re in contributor
Brian Douglas: info, you can opt in, say, Hey, I want this
Brian Douglas: repo to
Brian Douglas: be tracked. and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: right
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: it’s 53 or 52,
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I’ll just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: run
Brian Douglas: it on a daily crawl.
Brian Douglas: Like go catch it up.
Brian Douglas: and I
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: clever
Brian Douglas: thing where you’re like,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: this is like
Brian Douglas: the problem
Brian Douglas: of open source.
Brian Douglas: It got
Brian Douglas: very
Brian Douglas: expensive ’
Brian Douglas: ‘cause we had like
Brian Douglas: 300,000 repos,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: people
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: looking
Brian Douglas: up maybe
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: hundred
Brian Douglas: of. Uh, so
Brian Douglas: instead
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: inversed that
Brian Douglas: where
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: ask
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: the repo,
Brian Douglas: I will start tracking it.
Brian Douglas: if,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: never
Brian Douglas: view
Brian Douglas: the repo,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: will delete it. Uh, so
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: page view based
Brian Douglas: date data fetching.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like if you,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: you up
Robbie Wagner: a
Robbie Wagner: bot
Robbie Wagner: to
Robbie Wagner: keep
Robbie Wagner: viewing it,
Robbie Wagner: and then, uh, yeah. yeah.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: basically
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: some
Brian Douglas: ingest and some super base edge functions, that type right.
Brian Douglas: into my super
Brian Douglas: base.
Brian Douglas: and then
Brian Douglas: basically if like you’re,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: keep logs
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: who’s
Brian Douglas: viewing
Brian Douglas: what.
Brian Douglas: and so like
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: repos
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: care
Brian Douglas: about, the
Brian Douglas: four of em
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: look
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: just stays always fresh.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then stuff
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: Microsoft BS code, like no
Brian Douglas: one’s looking
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: that.
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: it was
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: thing
Brian Douglas: I should once
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: deletes it.
Robbie Wagner: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Okay.
Robbie Wagner: So
Robbie Wagner: I want to regress back a second to you were saying, uh, you were learning Python and doing some data science stuff, whatever.
Robbie Wagner: You as
Robbie Wagner: a established engineer, had success with that. I wonder what you think about
Robbie Wagner: people that are new to programming want to get into the industry. Is AI hamstringing them because like they
Robbie Wagner: don’t
Robbie Wagner: actually
Robbie Wagner: learn
Robbie Wagner: it, right?
Robbie Wagner: what do you think?
Brian Douglas: Man,
Brian Douglas: You
Brian Douglas: say
Brian Douglas: hamstring, but
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: I’ve
Brian Douglas: got
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: Achilles
Brian Douglas: thing that’s
Brian Douglas: happening right now. ’
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I
Brian Douglas: play
Brian Douglas: basketball
Brian Douglas: twice a
Brian Douglas: week.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I’ve been
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: these stretches
Brian Douglas: to like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t want
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: Achilles material,
Brian Douglas: like adjacent Tatum.
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: not out
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: the se,
Brian Douglas: I can’t
Brian Douglas: be
Brian Douglas: out for
Brian Douglas: the season.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: gotta travel. but
Brian Douglas: yes,
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: if you come outta
Brian Douglas: college and you’re like,
Brian Douglas: man,
Brian Douglas: how am I gonna get a job or if I’m a bootcamp grad,
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: God bless
Brian Douglas: you.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: like my recommendation
Brian Douglas: for
Brian Douglas: a lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: folks,
Brian Douglas: I was
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: Nigeria, I
Brian Douglas: did a workshop,
Brian Douglas: is like,
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: gotta
Brian Douglas: read
Brian Douglas: a book.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like the
Brian Douglas: inverse
Brian Douglas: of like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: could
Brian Douglas: learn
Brian Douglas: how
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: code
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: 13
Brian Douglas: weeks
Brian Douglas: or whatever
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was, six weeks.
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: you actually
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: dig
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: to figure out
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: why
Brian Douglas: am I
Brian Douglas: doing this? And
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: when,
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: before
Brian Douglas: you could like
Brian Douglas: spend
Brian Douglas: all day, every day
Brian Douglas: reading books and learning about languages and never implementing things.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: the reason
Brian Douglas: I would say read a book
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: catch up
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: type
Brian Douglas: of stuff
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: because
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: don’t know what you don’t know.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: if you’re like
Brian Douglas: prompting
Brian Douglas: Build
Brian Douglas: Me app
Brian Douglas: to do like whatever.
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: recommendation is
Brian Douglas: like, you don’t
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: that’s
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: wrong
Brian Douglas: thing cause
Brian Douglas: you don’t
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: experience.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: only
Brian Douglas: way to get the experience
Brian Douglas: is by either building
Brian Douglas: or asking
Brian Douglas: other
Brian Douglas: folks
Brian Douglas: that know it or
Brian Douglas: just reading books.
Brian Douglas: And a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: folks don’t
Brian Douglas: ask,
Brian Douglas: they
Brian Douglas: won’t reach out.
Brian Douglas: Also,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t got time to
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: Zoom
Brian Douglas: call
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: mentor people.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you came ready with
Brian Douglas: like, Hey,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: read
Brian Douglas: a book
Brian Douglas: on like
Brian Douglas: design
Brian Douglas: designing
Brian Douglas: infrastructure
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: scale.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: read
Brian Douglas: that book earlier
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: year and I built,
Brian Douglas: I’ve then
Brian Douglas: built
Brian Douglas: contributor info this
Brian Douglas: summer.
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: help navigate
Brian Douglas: myself into
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: should
Brian Douglas: probably
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: job
Brian Douglas: cues. like
Brian Douglas: in my
Brian Douglas: mind I was like, oh,
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: database and
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: write
Brian Douglas: to it.
Brian Douglas: It’s like,
Brian Douglas: oh,
Brian Douglas: well
Brian Douglas: what
Brian Douglas: happens?
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: two people write at the
Brian Douglas: database
Brian Douglas: at
Brian Douglas: the same
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: Oh,
Brian Douglas: okay.
Brian Douglas: Well
Brian Douglas: that makes
Brian Douglas: sense. Clever. the changes.
Brian Douglas: yeah.
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: is overwrite
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: and like
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: make it
Brian Douglas: work.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: brute
Brian Douglas: force, like whatever
Brian Douglas: time,
Brian Douglas: complexity,
Brian Douglas: algorithms, space
Brian Douglas: time, red,
Brian Douglas: black
Brian Douglas: tree,
Brian Douglas: whatever,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: who
Brian Douglas: knows
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: they use
Brian Douglas: that stuff.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: all
Brian Douglas: makes
Brian Douglas: sense
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: you start
Brian Douglas: queuing jobs and You’re like
Brian Douglas: okay,
Brian Douglas: well.
Brian Douglas: What
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: the same job, but the same
Brian Douglas: thing happens
Brian Douglas: at the same
Brian Douglas: time.
Brian Douglas: Which
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: goes
Brian Douglas: first
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: how do
Brian Douglas: you like
Brian Douglas: pop stuff off
Brian Douglas: the stack if like you don’t
Brian Douglas: need it
Brian Douglas: anymore?
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: have
Brian Douglas: like a
Brian Douglas: very
Brian Douglas: clever
Brian Douglas: algorithm of like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: there
Brian Douglas: are prs
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: need
Brian Douglas: to be
Brian Douglas: indexed
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: my project,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: will
Brian Douglas: index
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: freshest data
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: then I’ll go
Brian Douglas: for any
Brian Douglas: data that’s missing.
Brian Douglas: Uh, so
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: constantly always filling
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: gap.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: there’s a PR
Brian Douglas: comment
Brian Douglas: that happens
Brian Douglas: later.
Brian Douglas: I’ll
Brian Douglas: go
Brian Douglas: fetch that
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: to comment
Brian Douglas: as
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: separate
Brian Douglas: job.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: then
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: run
Brian Douglas: these jobs
Brian Douglas: literally
Brian Douglas: in parallel.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: literally
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: my
Brian Douglas: repo
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: set
Brian Douglas: up
Brian Douglas: last
Brian Douglas: night
Brian Douglas: a way to
Brian Douglas: paralyze
Brian Douglas: getup actions
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: kick off
Brian Douglas: these jobs,
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: orchestrate
Brian Douglas: all this
Brian Douglas: stuff.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: way
Brian Douglas: too much
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: getup actions
Brian Douglas: and how to leverage it.
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it’s extremely
Brian Douglas: useful
Brian Douglas: now
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I’m like,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: never
Brian Douglas: wanna
Brian Douglas: build
Brian Douglas: this myself
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: never like,
Brian Douglas: maintain
Brian Douglas: this, but like with like
Brian Douglas: enough,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: enough
Brian Douglas: grit and
Brian Douglas: determination, like.
Brian Douglas: you can get some pretty cool technologies out there.
Brian Douglas: So read books.
Brian Douglas: kids.
Robbie Wagner: Well
Robbie Wagner: said.
Robbie Wagner: All right. so.
Robbie Wagner: you’re not a
Robbie Wagner: fan of Will
Robbie Wagner: Smith Eating
Robbie Wagner: Spaghetti
Brian Douglas: Man, you wrote my Twitter. Uh, in the heat.
Brian Douglas: Yeah, It’s
Brian Douglas: like I don’t,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don know where
Brian Douglas: this came
Brian Douglas: from. Like someone asked
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: Mid
Brian Douglas: Journey
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: something.
Brian Douglas: No,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: wasn’t Mid Journey. It
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: the,
Brian Douglas: uh,
Brian Douglas: original So,
Brian Douglas: or whatever,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: they would generate
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: Will Smith
Brian Douglas: eating spaghetti.
Brian Douglas: It was this like awful, like it was this
Brian Douglas: weird
Brian Douglas: like a zombie
Brian Douglas: that kind
Brian Douglas: of looked
Brian Douglas: like Will Smith
Brian Douglas: and kind of
Brian Douglas: eating. Yeah. But it was
Brian Douglas: just like swallowing and
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: guess
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: latest VO
Brian Douglas: three,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: could now do a proper
Brian Douglas: Will Smith
Brian Douglas: eating spaghetti,
Brian Douglas: but like.
Brian Douglas: How
Brian Douglas: did that
Brian Douglas: become
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: litmus?
Brian Douglas: Like,
Brian Douglas: I think
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: good
Brian Douglas: one
Brian Douglas: is
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: gymnastics.
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you,
Brian Douglas: um,
Brian Douglas: ask
Brian Douglas: the, uh,
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: LLM to
Brian Douglas: basically
Brian Douglas: generate a
Brian Douglas: video
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: someone
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a specific gymnastics
Brian Douglas: experience,
Brian Douglas: or
Brian Douglas: move.
Brian Douglas: It
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: starts
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: weird,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: spiraling,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: quintuple,
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: back flip or
Brian Douglas: whatever.
Brian Douglas: It’s
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: not
Brian Douglas: realistic.
Brian Douglas: It just starts spinning
Brian Douglas: off
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: screen.
Brian Douglas: Forgets
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: physics.
Brian Douglas: Yeah. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: the,
Robbie Wagner: the thing actually,
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: go
Brian Douglas: further
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: my Twitter feed
Brian Douglas: when
Brian Douglas: Sora two
Brian Douglas: launched, open,
Brian Douglas: I had
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: bunch
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: a string of
Brian Douglas: a bunch
Brian Douglas: of,
Brian Douglas: videos.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: very
Brian Douglas: first
Brian Douglas: one was like,
Brian Douglas: Hey,
Brian Douglas: SOA, give
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: video
Brian Douglas: of do me
Brian Douglas: doing
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: kick
Brian Douglas: flip.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: used to
Brian Douglas: skateboard
Brian Douglas: in high
Brian Douglas: school.
Brian Douglas: It
Brian Douglas: was very
Brian Douglas: clearly
Brian Douglas: a heel flip.
Brian Douglas: Uh,
Brian Douglas: so if you
Brian Douglas: don’t know about
Brian Douglas: kick flips and
Brian Douglas: heel flips,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: just
Brian Douglas: spins
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: other
Brian Douglas: way.
Brian Douglas: And
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like.
Brian Douglas: That’s
Brian Douglas: dumb.
Brian Douglas: Like
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you’re gonna
Brian Douglas: worry
Brian Douglas: about
Brian Douglas: strawberries
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: my tweet was like,
Brian Douglas: kickflips
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: new
Brian Douglas: R
Brian Douglas: in strawberries.
Brian Douglas: because they
Brian Douglas: doesn’t know what
Brian Douglas: kickflip is,
Brian Douglas: obviously, but I
Brian Douglas: guess
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: Will Smithy spaghetti, like we solve a
Brian Douglas: problem
Brian Douglas: now. Get the Video
Robbie Wagner: Video to
Robbie Wagner: do a
Brian Douglas: actual kickflip.
Brian Douglas: and we’re
Brian Douglas: good.
Brian Douglas: We’ve made a
Brian Douglas: GI
Brian Douglas: we’re there.
Robbie Wagner: That’s the, the, final boss. Yeah,
Brian Douglas: yeah, yeah.
Brian Douglas: Kick
Brian Douglas: flips.
Robbie Wagner: You also
Robbie Wagner: tweeted
Robbie Wagner: something
Robbie Wagner: about
Robbie Wagner: iced coffee.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: forget what it was.
Robbie Wagner: You
Robbie Wagner: like iced
Robbie Wagner: coffee a
Robbie Wagner: lot?
Brian Douglas: probably.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: don’t know, I
Brian Douglas: don’t know the context
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: that.
Robbie Wagner: I
Robbie Wagner: forget too. I just, I don’t know.
Robbie Wagner: I just, Oh yeah,
Brian Douglas: was

Brian Douglas: myself off,
Brian Douglas: and do
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: rest
Brian Douglas: of

Brian Douglas: the blue
Brian Douglas: bottle in second
Brian Douglas: and, Howard pretty

Robbie Wagner: interests
Robbie Wagner: or things
Robbie Wagner: you
Robbie Wagner: wanna
Robbie Wagner: mention?
Brian Douglas: Man,
Brian Douglas: hobbies,
Brian Douglas: interest,
Brian Douglas: man.
Brian Douglas: couple weeks ago I, um,
Brian Douglas: I, vibe coded
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: game
Brian Douglas: with
Brian Douglas: my kids.
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: would
Brian Douglas: never build,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: what what goes
Brian Douglas: in the
Brian Douglas: writing
Brian Douglas: games,
Brian Douglas: like even
Brian Douglas: in JavaScript,
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: too
Brian Douglas: much
Brian Douglas: work,
Brian Douglas: not for me. Yeah.
Brian Douglas: but what’s really cool, I vibe coated a
Brian Douglas: game, a
Brian Douglas: platformer, and
Brian Douglas: then I,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: went and downloaded a bunch
Brian Douglas: of sprites
Brian Douglas: off
Brian Douglas: like a
Brian Douglas: Sprite
Brian Douglas: kit
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I’m
Brian Douglas: like, cool.
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: actually testing
Brian Douglas: Gemini
Brian Douglas: for this.
Brian Douglas: but it was like, it
Brian Douglas: actually did
Brian Douglas: a good
Brian Douglas: job
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: this. Like Jim and I take
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: Sprite
Brian Douglas: kit,
Brian Douglas: apply
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: to
Brian Douglas: my, my
Brian Douglas: game
Brian Douglas: engine
Brian Douglas: and
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: did a
Brian Douglas: pretty
Brian Douglas: good job.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: actually super,
Brian Douglas: super
Brian Douglas: proud
Brian Douglas: of that. I
Brian Douglas: do
Brian Douglas: want to
Brian Douglas: actually sit down
Brian Douglas: one weekend and make the game work.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: built
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: one,
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like RPG platformer
Brian Douglas: thing.
Brian Douglas: sorry,
Brian Douglas: that’s the two different
Brian Douglas: things.
Brian Douglas: But
Brian Douglas: basically it’s
Brian Douglas: like a platformer,
Brian Douglas: but
Brian Douglas: it
Brian Douglas: was
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: in
Brian Douglas: the RPG
Brian Douglas: style,
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: sort of roam
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: room
Brian Douglas: and like
Brian Douglas: jump and
Brian Douglas: collect wands. So
Brian Douglas: super
Brian Douglas: simple game.
Brian Douglas: ‘cause I knew,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know,
Brian Douglas: I
Brian Douglas: know
Brian Douglas: the
Brian Douglas: mythical
Brian Douglas: man
Brian Douglas: month
Brian Douglas: of
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: if
Brian Douglas: you have two
Brian Douglas: men,
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: gonna
Brian Douglas: take
Brian Douglas: less
Brian Douglas: time. It’s not true.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
Robbie Wagner: Okay.
Robbie Wagner: So what
Robbie Wagner: do you wanna
Robbie Wagner: plug
Robbie Wagner: before we end?
Brian Douglas: I’ll plug. If you,
Brian Douglas: are
Brian Douglas: not using AI
Brian Douglas: and you want to use AI
Brian Douglas: in a way that’s like self-hosted and like, want to leverage
Brian Douglas: in a way that
Brian Douglas: doesn’t,
Brian Douglas: Sell
Brian Douglas: your
Brian Douglas: data off to
Brian Douglas: a vc, continue.
Brian Douglas: We
Brian Douglas: could run
Brian Douglas: the local
Brian Douglas: local
Brian Douglas: models,
Brian Douglas: GPTO last, uh, 20 B,
Brian Douglas: actually
Brian Douglas: today
Brian Douglas: we
Brian Douglas: were embargoed, we’ve
Brian Douglas: been
Brian Douglas: working
Brian Douglas: on
Brian Douglas: this
Brian Douglas: like,
Brian Douglas: NGX
Brian Douglas: spark.
Brian Douglas: So
Brian Douglas: Nvidia
Brian Douglas: shipped
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: a, essentially a
Brian Douglas: Mac
Brian Douglas: mini
Brian Douglas: size device.
Brian Douglas: Okay.
Brian Douglas: That
Brian Douglas: runs
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: GPU
Brian Douglas: inside of it.
Brian Douglas: so
Brian Douglas: it’s
Brian Douglas: really
Brian Douglas: cool.
Brian Douglas: super
Brian Douglas: powerful. So
Brian Douglas: you
Brian Douglas: get like a 320
Brian Douglas: billion
Brian Douglas: parameter
Brian Douglas: model,
Brian Douglas: which
Brian Douglas: three
Brian Douglas: 20.
Brian Douglas: That’s,
Brian Douglas: pretty
Brian Douglas: large.
Brian Douglas: a
Brian Douglas: lot
Brian Douglas: of the
Brian Douglas: smaller like sonnets and
Brian Douglas: stuff
Brian Douglas: like
Brian Douglas: that
Brian Douglas: would be like
Brian Douglas: a million,
Brian Douglas: or a billion,
Brian Douglas: no
Brian Douglas: trillion.
Brian Douglas: anyway,
Brian Douglas: math one of
Brian Douglas: Thoses.
Brian Douglas: Yeah.
