• Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: the AI boom isn't the dot-com boom (Ep. 318)
    Nov 4 2026

    A classifier went from a $200M to a $7.5B valuation in 24 days. We've seen this before: blockchain. Same hype, same irrational money. And no, it's not like the dot-com fiber boom: fiber lasts decades, GPUs go obsolete in a couple of years. Who pays when the music stops?

  • I wrote a chess engine and still can't play chess: AI coding and skill decay (Ep. 317)
    Oct 26 2026

    I wrote a chess engine that beats real players. I still can't play chess. Developers who hand their coding to AI are heading the same way: they can build the machine but can't play the game. We go through the evidence (Anthropic, METR, Microsoft/CMU), the best counterarguments, and the habits that protect your skills. The main one: never generate more code than you can read.

  • "Rust Is Amazing, as Long as Nobody Looks at It" - Fact-Checking DHH (Ep. 316)
    Oct 20 2026

    DHH told Rails World that hand-written code is over, that HEY's backend is being AI-rewritten in Rust ("amazing, as long as you never look at it"), and that developer happiness no longer matters. This episode checks his statements.

    Oct 13 2026

    Fifty years ago Fred Brooks showed why adding more people to a late project makes it later. Today we do the same thing with tokens — more context, more autonomy, same myth, different currency.
