About this Podcast:
Three engineer friends argue about AI so you don't have to. Shimin Zhang, Dan Lasky, and Rahul Yadav are working developers who've been watching AI transform their profession in real time, and they got opinions on the robot takeover. Every week the three get together to riff on the latest AI news, geek out over research papers, roast each other's tool choices, and occasionally have an existential crisis about whether the craft is dying or just getting weird. What you're signing up for: - AI news without the LinkedIn cringe: model drops, acquisitions, open-source drama, and the other stuff that actually matters if you write code for a living. - Technique corner: real tips from the trenches: spec-driven development, multi-agent orchestration, Claude.md tricks, and all the ways they've wasted hours so you don't have to. - Two Minutes to Midnight: the show's running AI bubble tracker, complete with circular funding diagrams, hyperscaler CAPEX math, and a doomsday clock they keep arguing about moving. - Deep dives that (occasionally) go deep: hallucination neurons, agentic memory, workflow automation economics, LLM architectures the papers nobody else is covering because they're hard. - Dan's Rant: Dan frequently gets mad about things. It's a whole thing. - The feelings segment: Yes, Shimin reads Tennyson on a tech podcast. Yes, Rahul wrote an AI-generated country song. No, they're not sorry. Three friends with strong opinions, questionable metaphors, and genuine love for the craft they're also mourning for. If you want to understand AI deeply, use it without embarrassing yourself, and laugh at the absurdity of it all, pull up a chair.
