OCT 27TH 5-7PM
Hasty
Wes breaks down WebMCP, a brand new spec that lets your website publish its own tools to AI with no extra MCP server required. Watch a grocery list app get bossed around in plain English, then hear hot takes on why this might be the web's bridge to AI.
Tasty
Wes and Scott tackle potluck questions on running five AI agents at once, whether beginners should lean on AI, pagination vs infinite scroll, and someone literally trying to XSS the show. Also: escaping PHP and jQuery, balancing side projects with kids, and sick picks for e-ink and soldering nerds.
Hasty
Scott and Wes pull back the curtain on building MadCSS, a real-time CSS battle platform from scratch in about two weeks. Expect SvelteKit, Zero sync, a very opinionated diffing algorithm, and one sneaky expiring JWT.
Tasty
Armin Ronacher and Mario Zechner explain Pi, the minimal, infinitely extensible coding agent harness that powers Clawdbot/Moltbot. Expect prompt injection nightmares, self-modifying agents, and a very honest take on why you probably don't need that big fancy harness.
Hasty
Wes and Scott (post-nose-surgery Scott!) dig through their wishlist for the web platform, from tabs and toggles to a pipe operator, cookie consent APIs, and built-in local AI. Plus a tour of Wes's desk full of NFC gadgets and a very dad headlamp.
Tasty
Scott and Wes dive into building hyper-specific personal software with AI agents, from a Clawdbot assistant that nags you about your CO2 levels to meal trackers, guided meditations, and a JSON file as your database. Warning: you may cancel a few subscriptions after listening.
Hasty
Kent C. Dodds finally joins Syntax to explain MCP, MCP UI, and MCP Apps, and why the future of the web might be your app living inside a chatbot. Plus Remix 3, Onewheels, and building your own Jarvis.
Tasty
Scott and Wes break down every little thing that makes a web app feel janky on mobile, from zooming inputs and accidental horizontal scroll to layout shift and map scroll traps. Plus, a glorious live roasting of OptumRx's website.
Hasty
Wes and Scott dig into the death of Stack Overflow, a Rust-flavored open source Cloudflare Workers clone, Firefox's AI gamble, and Apple finally opening up browser engines in Japan. Plus fractured JSON, Chrome's new local network popup, and a robot cat.
Tasty
Scott and Wes break down why Anthropic scooped up Bun, whether Git belongs in a GUI, and how to record code videos without hating your own breathing. Plus rogue coworkers, creative coding vs accessibility, smart home setups, and the mysterious world of SAP.
