This episode tackles the growing pains of AI-assisted development, from the struggle of reviewing thousands of lines of agent-generated code to the mounting technical debt when teams merge PRs without meaningful human review. Scott and Wes also dig into local models, whether jujutsu really beats git, how freelancers should price work in the AI era, and getting your team on board with external libraries.
