Whiskey Web and Whatnot

This week, Robbie and Adam welcome Leon Noel and Danny Thompson to talk AI workflows, agentic development, and whether the job of coding has fundamentally changed. They dig into prompt engineering, mental models, OpenClaw setups, the rise of harnesses and orchestration layers, and why testing in production might actually be fine. Along the way, they debate git rebase versus git merge, the death of LeetCode interviews, why Cursor feels different than Copilot, and whether Pokemon Go is still thriving in 2026.Presented by Warp: https://www.warp.dev/ozIn this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:02:55 Whiskey Tasting: Matsui Single Cask Sakura00:14:11 Hot Takes: Git Rebase vs Git Merge00:20:30 The AI Revolution: From Skepticism to Adoption00:23:21 OpenClaw Deep Dive: AI Agents While You Sleep00:49:05 Cursor Web & Long-Running Agents00:35:58 The Mental Model Problem: How Most Devs Use AI Wrong00:55:44 AI Prompting Masterclass: Tips from the Experts01:11:47 Code Review with AI: SLMs, Bug Bot & Snyk00:32:47 Breaking Into Tech & The Future of Junior Developers01:16:36 Pokemon Go Nostalgia & Wrap UpLinksMatsui Single Malt Sakura Cask: https://dewinespot.co/products/matsui-single-malt-sakura-cask100 Devs: https://leonnoel.com/100devs/Resilient Coders: https://www.resilientcoders.org/Atlassian: https://www.atlassian.com/OpenClaw: https://openclaw.ai/Claude: https://claude.ai/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotOpencode: https://opencode.ai/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Pi: https://pi.ai/Codex 5.3: https://openai.com/Snyk: https://snyk.io/Bug Bot: https://bugbot.ai/Reptile: https://reptile.ai/CodeRabbit: https://coderabbit.ai/Antigravity: https://antigravity.dev/GitHub: https://github.com/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/Svelte: https://svelte.dev/Solid: https://www.solidjs.com/Shepherd: https://shepherdjs.dev/Atlassian Forge: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/Rovo Dev: https://www.atlassian.com/software/rovoHackerRank: https://www.hackerrank.com/Playwright: https://playwright.dev/Pokemon Go: https://pokemongolive.com/Commit Your Code Conference: https://commityourcode.com/Connect with LeonWebsite: https://leonnoel.com/X / Twitter: https://x.com/leonnoelConnect with DannyWebsite: https://www.dthompsondev.com/X / Twitter: https://x.com/DThompsonDevConnect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/chuckcarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Adam sit down with Amelia Wattenberger—digital creative, product builder, and former principal research engineer at GitHub—to talk about AI agents, the death of chatbots, and whether typing code is officially over. They dig into the exhausting pace of AI tooling, why specs still aren't taking off, the anxiety of being managed by your own bots, and how Amelia's new project Intent is bundling workspaces, agents, and browsers into one cohesive developer experience. Along the way, they debate voice coding, the loss of craft, rubber duck debugging in the age of Claude, and why slowing down might be the only way to go fast.Presented by Warp: https://www.warp.dev/ozIn this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:02:06 Whiskey Tasting: Jypsi Explorer Bourbon00:09:00 Were AI Chatbots a Mistake?00:18:49 The Manager Has Become The Managed00:27:39 The Death of the Craft & The New Loop00:37:07 Voice vs Typing: The Future of Input00:41:51 Intent: Rethinking Developer Workspaces00:44:39 Spectrum Development & Agent Orchestration00:51:49 Building Across Platforms & Custom Keyboards01:03:24 Wrap Up & Where to Find IntentLinksJypsi Explorer: https://whiskeyjypsi.com/whiskey/explorer/Eric Church: https://www.ericchurch.com/Dreamweaver: https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.htmlRent a Human: https://rentahuman.ai/OpenClaw: https://github.com/cncf/openclawClaude: https://claude.ai/OpenCode: https://opencode.ai/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Intent: https://intent.ai/Augment Code: https://www.augmentcode.com/GitHub: https://github.com/Swach: https://www.swach.io/Zed: https://zed.dev/Figma: https://www.figma.com/Webflow: https://webflow.com/VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/OpenAI: https://openai.com/Elgato: https://www.elgato.com/Linux: https://www.linux.org/Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/Connect with AmeliaWebsite: https://wattenberger.com/X / Twitter: https://x.com/WattenbergerConnect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/ChuckCarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Adam sip a rare Single Malts of Scotland 12-year Hogshead release and dive into the world of AI-powered development, OpenClaw setups, and why hot pockets might be the perfect metaphor for where tech is headed. They explore the state of JavaScript survey, debate whether specs are the future of coding, discuss running AI agents on gaming PCs in the basement, and why owning your own data feels punk. Along the way, they cover burn windows, token optimization, prompt injection risks, liberating data from walled gardens, and whether we're all just vibe coders now.Presented by Warp: https://www.warp.dev/ozIn this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:01:44 Whiskey Tasting: Single Malts of Scotland00:10:52 State of JavaScript 2024 Discussion00:08:26 Hot Pockets Pro Max: AI Hype Satire00:16:46 OpenClaw Deep Dive: Setup & Security00:32:27 AI Coding Models: Claude vs OpenAI00:36:07 OpenClaw Acquisition & The Future of AI Assistants00:40:00 Personal AI Workflows & Data Liberation00:51:27 The Future of Development Jobs01:08:06 Tools & Recommendations: Deno KV, Solo Term & SuperCode01:10:35 Whatnot: Mega Man Jetpacks & AI GorillasLinksSingle Malts of Scotland: https://www.singlemaltwhisky.com/State of JavaScript: https://stateofjs.com/OpenClaw: https://github.com/cncf/openclawIron Claw: https://github.com/iron-claw/iron-clawWarp: https://www.warp.dev/Claude: https://claude.ai/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/OpenAI: https://openai.com/Venice AI: https://venice.ai/Peon Ping (Warcraft sounds): https://github.com/peon-ping/peon-pingSolo Term: https://soloterm.sh/Supercode: https://supercode.sh/Deno KV: https://deno.com/kvRailway: https://railway.app/Netlify: https://www.netlify.com/Tailscale: https://tailscale.com/Untappd: https://untappd.com/Ultimate Guitar: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/Google Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/Astro: https://astro.build/Next.js: https://nextjs.org/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/IBM: https://www.ibm.com/Code Rabbit: https://coderabbit.ai/Katamari Damacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_DamacyTo a T (game): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738550/To_a_T/Bob's Burgers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%27s_BurgersBenihana: https://www.benihana.com/React Miami: https://www.reactmiami.com/Ken Wheeler: https://x.com/ken_wheelerPrimeagen: https://x.com/ThePrimeagenConnect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/ChuckCarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Adam sip Lagavulin 16 and catch up with Zach Lloyd—founder and CEO of Warp—about building the modern terminal, shipping AI agents to the cloud, and why editing text like it's 2026 should be the bare minimum. They dig into why Warp feels like the only terminal that just works, how AI is changing the way senior engineers code, the rise of agentic orchestration, and why tmux users are the hardest to convert. Along the way, they cover computer use models, agent memory, multi-threaded prompting, and why your laptop is officially not ready for this.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:03:20 Whiskey Tasting: Lagavulin 1600:07:07 What is Warp?00:09:30 Warp's Standout Features00:13:48 AI Agents in Development Workflows00:17:12 The Terminal as the Future of Development00:21:35 Real-World Agent Usage & Productivity00:25:17 Multi-Agent Systems & Orchestration00:43:16 Moving to the Cloud & Warp Oz00:54:38 The Future of AI Development & CompetitionLinksLagavulin 16: https://www.malts.com/en-row/our-whisky-collection/lagavulin-16-year-old/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/Google Sheets: https://sheets.google.com/OpenClaw: https://github.com/cncf/openclawClaude: https://claude.ai/Codex: https://openai.com/index/openai-codex/Railway: https://railway.app/Ghostty: https://ghostty.org/Opencode: https://opencode.ai/Shepherd: https://shepherdjs.dev/Svelte: https://svelte.dev/SolidJS: https://www.solidjs.com/Mermaid: https://mermaid.js.org/Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/Astro: https://astro.build/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/Gemini: https://gemini.google.com/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/tmux: https://github.com/tmux/tmuxZed: https://zed.dev/Ember Data: https://github.com/emberjs/dataTypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/GitHub: https://github.com/Jira: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jiraPython: https://www.python.org/Mythical Man-Month: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-MonthCascadiaJS: https://cascadiajs.com/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/IBM: https://www.ibm.com/Connect with ZachX / Twitter: https://x.com/zachlloydtweetsWarp: https://www.warp.dev/Connect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/ChuckCarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

A spirited dive into agentic AI workflows and whether humans are becoming legacy dependencies. They tinker with OpenClaw and Pi's minimalist agent philosophy. Conversations cover malleable software threatening SaaS, bots trading and betting, gig-economy ideas like RentAHuman.ai, and what happens when AI agents talk to each other. Side notes include whiskey supply shocks and EV repairability concerns.

This week, Robbie and Adam talk winter storms, snow blowers, and autonomous yard work before diving into the real topic: AI agents gone wild. They debate why Ralph Wiggum loops don't actually work, whether context pollution is killing productivity, the rise and fall of MCP servers and skills, and why vanilla Claude might be the only tool you actually need. Along the way, they cover anchor positioning failures, Stranger Things hot takes, and why small distilleries are just like indie startups.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:05:07 Whiskey Tasting: Old Forester Statesman00:10:56 AI Coding Tools: The Great Simplification00:15:02 Firing the Tools: Why Vanilla Claude Won00:20:48 AI Agents & Ralph Wiggum Loops00:23:45 MCP Servers & Skills: Helpful or Hype?00:35:40 CSS Anchor Positioning: The Failed Migration00:39:30 Bouncy Scrollbars & CSS Flip Techniques00:53:42 TypeScript, Tech Debt & Moving Slow00:56:57 Stranger Things Finale & Cascadia JS AnnouncementLinksOld Forester Statesman: https://www.oldforester.com/Kingsman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsman_(franchise)Swach: https://www.swach.io/Opencode: https://opencode.ai/Claude: https://claude.ai/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotOh My Opencode: https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencodeGSD (Get Shit Done): https://github.com/PriNova/Code-PrompterMCP (Model Context Protocol): https://modelcontextprotocol.io/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/Ember: https://emberjs.com/React: https://react.dev/TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/CSS Anchor Positioning: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_anchor_positioningFLIP Technique: https://aerotwist.com/blog/flip-your-animations/View Transitions API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transitions_APIFloating UI: https://floating-ui.com/Shepherd: https://shepherdjs.dev/Ember Animated: https://github.com/ember-animation/ember-animatedCascadiaJS: https://cascadiajs.com/Render ATL: https://www.renderatl.com/React Miami: https://www.reactmiami.com/Big Sky Dev Con: https://bigskydevcon.com/Stranger Things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_ThingsFallout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(American_TV_series)Two Bar Spirits: https://www.twobarspirits.com/Connect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/chuckcarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Carlo sip Sagamore's 10-year reserve rye and catch up with Carlo on life abroad, AI coding workflows, the changing developer landscape, and why cars, whiskey shipping, and property management are all equally frustrating. They dig into agentic AI loops, the rise of prompt-driven development, whether coding by hand is officially dead, and what happens when tools like OpenCode and Claude become the new normal.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:02:09 Whiskey Tasting: Sagamore 10 Year Reserve Series00:08:40 Living in Italy: Costs, Culture & Comparisons00:14:41 Astro Acquired by Cloudflare00:19:38 Agentic AI & Ralph Loops: The New Development Workflow00:36:41 Building with Rust: The Hugh Hunter Color Picker00:47:18 The Death of Hand-Coding & The Future of Software Jobs00:48:40 Claude Co-Work & AI Desktop Apps00:48:54 AI Beyond Coding: Life Automation & Efficiency00:58:34 Landlord Horror Stories & The Tucson Property SagaLinksSagamore Spirit: https://sagamorespirit.com/Astro: https://astro.build/Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/OpenCode: https://opencode.ai/Claude: https://claude.ai/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotMatt Pocock - Ralph Wiggum technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IK18goX4X8Swach: https://www.swach.io/Tauri: https://tauri.app/Electron: https://www.electronjs.org/Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/Napi-rs: https://napi.rs/GitHub: https://github.com/ClickUp: https://clickup.com/TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/Python: https://www.python.org/Linux: https://www.linux.org/Wayland: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/Steam Deck: https://www.steamdeck.com/11.22.63: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11.22.63Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/Connect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/chuckcarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Adam sip on Whistle Pig's Liquid Death collaboration and debate whether we've accidentally deleted programming itself. They dig into the shift from code-first to spec-first development, whether TypeScript still matters in an AI-driven world, the rise of agency over specialization, and why the future might belong to prompt-driven tinkerers instead of traditional developers.Presented by CodeRabbit: http://coderabbit.link/whiskeyIn this episode:(00:00) - Intro(01:43) - Whiskey rating & review: Whistle Pig x Liquid Death Gravestock(07:21) - Automating tasks with AI: the chicken and egg problem(11:12) - Building a whiskey episode art generator with Swift and AI(17:02) - Libraries that ship specs instead of code(22:24) - Is TypeScript still worth it in an AI-first world?(29:06) - Converting Shepherd from Svelte to Solid for bundle size(34:44) - Why code matters less and outcomes matter more(42:42) - Comparing OpenCode, Warp, Cursor, and Windsurf(50:38) - The rise of agency: tinkerers over specialists(54:46) - Getting into physical goods and local farming(57:12) - Why booze, nicotine, and fun are all down(01:00:10) - PlugsLinksWhistle Pig Gravestock: https://www.whistlepigwhiskey.com/Liquid Death: https://liquiddeath.com/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/OpenCode: https://opencode.ai/Claude: https://claude.ai/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Windsurf: https://windsurf.ai/Gemini: https://gemini.google.com/TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/Svelte: https://svelte.dev/Solid: https://www.solidjs.com/GitHub Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotShopify: https://www.shopify.com/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/Swift: https://www.swift.org/Shepherd: https://shepherdjs.dev/Floating UI: https://floating-ui.com/Swach: https://www.swach.io/CSS Anchor Positioning: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_anchor_positioningFLIP Technique: https://aerotwist.com/blog/flip-your-animations/Paul Lewis: https://aerotwist.com/Want My MTV: https://wantmymtv.vercel.app/Fuse TV: https://www.fuse.tv/Connect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/ChuckCarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

This week, Robbie and Adam talk about the ethics and economics of AI, and why “stealing with extra steps” feels like the right metaphor for where things are headed. They dig into open source burnout, whether AI replaces developers or just reshapes the job, how tooling and multi-agent systems fit in, and whether the future belongs to niche expertise—or just better prompts.Presented by CodeRabbit: http://coderabbit.link/whiskeyIn this episode:(00:00) - Intro(01:56) - Whiskey rating & review: Old Forester 1897(04:50) - Music taste, Spotify ages, and feeling old(07:29) - Is AI just stealing with extra steps?(19:09) - Ralph vs. Gastown and the rise of agent chaos(28:04) - What is an AI harness?(31:36) - How to stay valuable in an AI-shaped future(36:25) - Does vibe coding feel as satisfying?(39:47) - Is the web heading somewhere dark?(42:02) - Cursor wars, animations, and UX pet peeves(48:48) - Will GitHub projects go full Vibe Kanban in 2026?(54:41) - Holiday reflections and unplugging(58:18) - Staying up late and old routines(01:00:00) - Remembering Robbie’s dog(01:00:58) - 2026 plans, goals, and resolutionsLinksOld Forester: https://www.oldforester.com/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/Mayday Parade: https://maydayparade.com/Teddy Swims: https://www.teddyswims.com/Post Malone: https://www.postmalone.com/JavaScript: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScriptGrok: https://grok.com/Adam Wathan: https://x.com/adamwathan/Tailwind CSS: https://tailwindcss.com/GitHub: https://github.com/Primeagen: https://x.com/ThePrimeagenGas Town: https://github.com/steveyegge/gastownRalph: https://github.com/snarktank/ralphClaude: https://claude.aiOpenCode: https://opencode.ai/Matt Pocock - Ship working code while you sleep with the Ralph Wiggum technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IK18goX4X8Python: https://www.python.org/Oh-my-opencode: https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencodeBolt: https://bolt.new/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/Lovable: https://lovable.dev/Same: https://same.new/Ember: https://emberjs.com/Expedition 33: https://www.expedition33.comDestiny 2: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/destinyAnything: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anything-ai-app-builder/id6751247034Swach: https://www.swach.io/Electron: https://www.electronjs.org/Swift: https://www.swift.org/Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotThe Polar Express: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Polar_Express_(film)React Miami: https://www.reactmiami.com/Render ATL: https://www.renderatl.com/CascadiaJS: https://cascadiajs.com/All Things Open: https://allthingsopen.org/CSS Day: https://cssday.nl/Connect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerChuck Carpenter: https://x.com/ChuckCarpenterAdam Argyle: https://x.com/argyleinkSubscribe and stay in touchWebsite: https://whiskey.fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDfOvercast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnotWhiskey Web and Whatnot MerchEnjoying the podcast and want us to make more?
