Feb 27, 2026
Bash, a tooling-minded contributor who riffs on small projects, and Trash, an iOS vibe-coder who experiments with AI helpers, trade rapid-fire takes. They riff on OpenClaw admin chaos, AI assistants wired into personal accounts, voicemail and spam-call use cases, vibe-coding secret apps, and the hazards of giving agents deep permissions. Conversation mixes tech horror stories, awkward summit theater, and playful banter.
