This week, Robbie and Adam welcome Shaw from CodePen to talk CSS animations, web components, server side rendering nightmares, and why building things by hand still matters in the age of AI slop. They dig into the CodePen 2.0 rewrite, Apollo GraphQL cache manipulation, the pain of reactive variables on the server, why Code Mirror 6 is both brilliant and bizarre, and whether stacks and fans will finally solve the PR review problem. Along the way, they cover HTML as a programming language, handwritten code museums, agentic parenting disasters, and why showing up prepared beats luck every time.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:02:25 Whiskey Tasting: Andalusia Stryker Texas Smoked Single Malt00:04:32 Hot Takes: Is HTML a Programming Language?00:10:50 Chris Coyier vs Adam Argyle: The Impossible Choice00:13:21 Git Worktrees, Stacks & Fans: Modern Version Control00:22:21 React Server Components: Mistake or Masterpiece?00:24:30 CodePen 2.0: Building a Modern Editor from Scratch00:39:18 AI in CodePen: Curation Over Generation00:45:07 Agentic Parenting & The Fart Sycophant Problem00:57:00 Raising Creative Kids in the Age of Screens01:10:43 Whiskey Review & Final ThoughtsLinksAndalusia Texas Smoked Single Malt Whiskey: https://andalusiawhiskey.com/CodePen: https://codepen.io/CodePen 2.0: https://codepen.io/KeyFramers: https://keyframers.com/Code Mirror 6: https://codemirror.net/Apollo GraphQL: https://www.apollographql.com/Next.js: https://nextjs.org/GitHub Stacks: https://github.com/React Server Components: https://react.dev/Claude: https://claude.ai/Project Hail Mary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hail_MaryPico-8: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.phpSpike Prime: https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/lego-education-spike-prime-set/45678/Blockly: https://developers.google.com/blocklyRails: https://rubyonrails.org/Go: https://go.dev/Vercel: https://vercel.com/StackBlitz: https://stackblitz.com/Monaco Editor: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/Raised by Wolves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_by_Wolves_(American_TV_series)The Manualist: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheManualistAesop Rock: https://www.aesoprock.com/Minecraft: https://www.minecraft.net/Nerdy.dev: https://nerdy.dev/Connect with ShawWebsite: https://shshaw.com/X / Twitter: https://x.com/shshawConnect with the hostsRobbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieWagnerAdam 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?
