S5E14: Init, mate!

Daniel and Dave are back, talking dusty offices, new shelves, and livestream setups. Daniel experiences the ups and downs of Claude Code while Dave experiments with shader effects for a VHS-style video app. We compare where AI dev tools help, where they fail, and why the human touch still matters - with diversions into amusement parks, danger explosions, and a productivity app featuring a sock-knitting bean.

Show Notes

Join us, while we're Waiting For Review...

In this show:

Daniel shares how Claude Code both helped and frustrated him while cleaning up warnings and tackling long-standing to-dos, reflecting on the “video game” feeling of working with AI tools.

Dave talks about pushing Claude into orchestrator mode, hitting its limits, and resetting his approach. We cover where these tools shine, where they fall over, and the importance of keeping things human.

Along the way: dusty offices, VHS shaders, a trip to a budget amusement park, and Daniel’s discovery of Focus Friend; an adorable productivity app with a sock-knitting bean 😊
