This week, Robbie and Adam sip a rare Single Malts of Scotland 12-year Hogshead release and dive into the world of AI-powered development, OpenClaw setups, and why hot pockets might be the perfect metaphor for where tech is headed. They explore the state of JavaScript survey, debate whether specs are the future of coding, discuss running AI agents on gaming PCs in the basement, and why owning your own data feels punk. Along the way, they cover burn windows, token optimization, prompt injection risks, liberating data from walled gardens, and whether we're all just vibe coders now.
