On our 500th episode James and Frank celebrate the milestone, reminisce about their mobile‑dev roots, and dig into how AI, the Copilot CLI/SDK and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping workflows. Frank demos an MCP‑powered tool that turns app reviews into prioritized GitHub issues and automations — a real example of AI-as-glue — with practical takeaways on prompt engineering, UI extensions, and when to automate versus curate manually.
