OCT 27TH 5-7PM
Hasty
Scott and Wes dress up for Halloween and read your worst dev nightmares, from dropping the production database in phpMyAdmin to a hard-coded boolean that flatlined payments. Plus a round of real-or-fake IE browser hacks with special guest CJ.
Tasty
Scott ditches his melting Electron editors and gives Zed another shot, and discovers the Rust-built editor now has the Git UI, split panes, and AI chat he was missing. Plus keycaps, hot water, and the dream of owning two dishwashers.
Hasty
Scott and Wes rank the MCP servers that actually make coding with agents better, from Sentry and Context7 to Svelte's auto fixer, Chrome DevTools and Stripe. Also: Cursor literally phoned Wes to ask how to fix a bug.
Tasty
Wes and Scott get roasted for their personal sites, then dig into hacked user accounts, LLM context files, juggling side projects with family, image pipelines, Cloudflare bills, and why the free tier might bite you. Plus sauce, MKV Quick Look, and a lot of AirPod chaos.
Hasty
Wes and Scott dig into Chrome's new Dev Tools MCP server that lets your AI drive a real browser, read console errors, audit performance, and take screenshots. Plus a chipped tooth, spooky story submissions, and a Sentry Seer save from a lousy typo.
Tasty
Coinbase's Kyle breaks down what '40% of code written by AI' actually means, from Cursor and Claude Code to 30-40 internal MCPs and why code review is the new bottleneck. Spoiler: nobody is vibe coding straight to production at a crypto bank.
Hasty
React core dev Ricky Hanlon breaks down transitions, Suspense batching, useOptimistic, and why the best React code might be the code you never write. Plus, a friendly Ohio State vs. Michigan feud and the truth about Next.js controlling React.
Tasty
Dr. Courtney Tolinski (aka Scott's wife) answers listener questions on managing neurodivergent devs, getting an ADHD diagnosis, overwork guilt, AI therapy, and winding down after a long day. Bring your to-do list and maybe an Epsom salt bath.
Hasty
Scott sits down with Microsoft's Chief Product Officer of Responsible AI, Dr. Sarah Bird, to talk about whether responsible AI is even a real thing and what web devs can do about it. Expect security, privacy, local models, job anxiety, and a very wholesome Japanese pottery sick pick.
Tasty
Wes and Scott tackle a potluck of questions: which Node backend to pick, how to plan a project, why free tiers bite you later, whether GraphQL is dead, and whether Next.js has gotten too complicated. Plus a rare disagreement over TanStack Form and sick picks that range from AI girlfriends to Wago connectors.
