We examine the original context of "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and flip through the pages of Datamation from over 50 years ago.

The Codeberg Situation
31 juli 2026 · 1 uur 17 min
We dive deep into the controversy surrounding Codeberg's decision to ban generative AI projects. They analyze the platform's reasoning, from hardware strain and infrastructure costs to the potential breakdown of community trust and the "slop" of low-effort pull requests. The discussion expands into the philosophy of coding, the "Amish chair" analogy for handmade software, and whether platforms like Codeberg are protecting the future of human craftsmanship or being "left behind" by the AI revolution. Along the way, they touch on everything from Boston accents and steak-cooking debates to the hidden patterns in LLM-generated humor and the "Interstellar" corn crisis. Lees meer

Cloudflare CTO talks AI, Opensource and the Future
3 april 2026 · 57 min
Ship with confidence. Try Sentry: https://trm.sh/sentry Lees meer
This week on The Standup, we sit down with the team behind Cloudflare’s “Vinext” experiment an attempt to bring the Next.js API surface onto a completely different runtime. What starts as a simple “why does this exist?” quickly turns into a deep dive on AI-driven development, open source in the age of agents, and what happens when an intern is told to “just build Next.js” .
Dane Knecht, Steve Faulkner, and Dillon Mulroy walk through how the project went from a half-finished intern prototype to a full-blown AI-assisted experiment complete with bots reviewing PRs, triaging issues, and even maintaining parity with the Next.js repo itself. Along the way, we get into the realities of maintaining a “not-a-fork-but-kind-of-a-fork,” why developers keep depending on undocumented behavior anyway, and how AI both creates and fixes its own messes .
Naturally, it spirals. We talk about Hyrum’s Law in practice, template-string nightmares, “slop” codebases, and the growing question of whether throwing more AI at a problem is actually a strategy. Somewhere in there, we also hit on build systems, performance tradeoffs, and what it means to keep a project “not experimental” when people are already using it in production.
Chaotic, honest, and very much how developers actually talk especially when AI, open source, and reality all collide at once.

Somewhere in the chaos, we even touch on algorithms, complexity, and why most of it doesn’t mean what people think it does. Chaotic, honest, and pretty much how developers actually talk.

Trash admits he’s vibe-coding secret iOS apps, including one that may or may not speedrun divorce. We debate AI personal assistants, spam calls, self-hosting myths, Mac mini bot farms, and whether anyone is actually running these models locally.
We also dissect the most awkward AI summit moment of the year: Sam Altman and Dario Amodei refusing to hold hands on stage next to the Prime Minister of India. Theater kid energy meets billion-dollar rivalry.

We used to be gamers… and honestly, we still kind of are.
In this special Standup episode, the crew skips the usual news cycle and just talks games: Terraria obsession, Slay the Spire addiction, Starcraft war stories, Pokémon Go team challenges, and the dangerous temptation of getting “back into it.” Expect chaos, nostalgia, and way too many side quests.

This week on The Standup, the crew digs into the chaos of AI “skills,” agent tooling, and the growing security risks nobody seems to be paying attention to. From hallucinated commands spreading across GitHub to supply-chain nightmares and wild real-world examples, it’s a funny, slightly terrifying look at where AI tooling is headed. Laughs, hot takes, and a reality check for anyone letting agents run loose on their machine.

Plus: classic Standup chaos, conspiracy energy, and too many jokes about where the orb shouldn’t go.
