Are advertisements not-so-secretly infiltrating your code reviews? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben break down the controversy over GitHub Copilot injecting promotional tips into pull requests and unpack the massive Anthropic code leak that exposed Claude Code's hidden features. The hosts also explore Shopify's strategy for cutting AI inference costs by 75x using smaller, self-hosted models. Finally, they discuss the game-changing Pretext rendering library, the cyclical hype of "dead" tech trends, and how agent-wielding "vibe maintainers" are rewriting the rules of open-source software.
