Axios Is Out. Fetchium Is In. (Presented by Warp)
Apr 3001:11:41Tap to summarizeThis week, Robbie and Adam welcome Kristen Garrett to talk signals, reactivity, and whether we've finally found the abstraction that makes sense. They dig into the differences between signals and hooks, why parameterized signals matter, how async fits into reactivity, and whether Fetchium is about to replace Axios and TanStack Query. Along the way, they debate observables versus promises, the death of prop drilling, quantum computing cracking Bitcoin, why AI needs simpler abstractions, and whether humans are about to become legacy dependencies in their own codebases.Presented by Warp: https://www.warp.dev/ozIn this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:00:37 Sponsor: Warp Terminal & Cloud Agents00:02:46 Whiskey Introduction: Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bourbon00:04:17 What Are Signals?

Feb 2601:05:01Tap to summarizeThis week, Robbie and Adam sip High ‘n Wicked Straight Rye and dive deep into the current state of AI development tools, the rise of agentic workflows, and whether humans are becoming legacy dependencies in their own systems. They explore OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot), the philosophy behind Pi's minimalist agent approach, malleable software, and why SaaS products might be in trouble. Along the way, they debate meme coins, polymarket betting, the death of software-as-a-service, and what happens when AI agents start talking to each other on social media.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:02:53 Whiskey Tasting: High and Wicked Straight Rye00:07:36 Setting Up OpenClaw: The AI Agent Revolution00:11:29 GitHub Agents & Mobile Workflows00:15:44 The AI Landscape: Claude vs OpenAI vs Emerging Models00:19:23 Pi & The Philosophy of Minimal AI00:19:49 Whiskey Rating & The Future of Work00:39:39 AI Agents Talking to Each Other: Notebook LM00:45:01 Rent-a-Human.ai & The Gig Economy Future00:52:38 Malleable Software & The Death of SaaSLinksHigh ‘n Wicked Straight Rye: https://highandwicked.com/OpenClaw: https://github.com/cncf/openclawPi: https://pi.ai/Railway: https://railway.app/GitHub Agents: https://github.com/features/agentsClaude: https://claude.ai/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/OpenAI: https://openai.com/Qwen: https://qwenlm.github.io/MoltBook: https://www.moltbook.com/RentAHuman.ai: https://rentahuman.ai/Polymarket: https://polymarket.com/Uber: https://www.uber.com/Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/Theo - t3.gg: https://t3.gg/Meticulous: https://meticulous.ai/Tesla Model X: https://www.tesla.com/modelxJim Beam: https://www.jimbeam.com/CascadiaJS: https://cascadiajs.com/Render ATL: https://www.renderatl.com/React Miami: https://www.reactmiami.com/Astro: https://astro.build/Warp: 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?

We Fired the Tools: No Ralph Wiggum, No Training Wheels, Just Agents
Feb 1901:04:33Tap to summarizeThis week, Robbie and Adam talk winter storms, snow blowers, and autonomous yard work before diving into the real topic: AI agents gone wild. They debate why Ralph Wiggum loops don't actually work, whether context pollution is killing productivity, the rise and fall of MCP servers and skills, and why vanilla Claude might be the only tool you actually need. Along the way, they cover anchor positioning failures, Stranger Things hot takes, and why small distilleries are just like indie startups.In this episode:Chapters00:00:00 Welcome & Introductions00:05:07 Whiskey Tasting: Old Forester Statesman00:10:56 AI Coding Tools: The Great Simplification00:15:02 Firing the Tools: Why Vanilla Claude Won00:20:48 AI Agents & Ralph Wiggum Loops00:23:45 MCP Servers & Skills: Helpful or Hype?00:35:40 CSS Anchor Positioning: The Failed Migration00:39:30 Bouncy Scrollbars & CSS Flip Techniques00:53:42 TypeScript, Tech Debt & Moving Slow00:56:57 Stranger Things Finale & Cascadia JS AnnouncementLinksOld Forester Statesman: https://www.oldforester.com/Kingsman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsman_(franchise)Swach: https://www.swach.io/Opencode: https://opencode.ai/Claude: https://claude.ai/Warp: https://www.warp.dev/Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilotOh My Opencode: https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencodeGSD (Get Shit Done): https://github.com/PriNova/Code-PrompterMCP (Model Context Protocol): https://modelcontextprotocol.io/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/Ember: https://emberjs.com/React: https://react.dev/TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/CSS Anchor Positioning: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_anchor_positioningFLIP Technique: https://aerotwist.com/blog/flip-your-animations/View Transitions API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transitions_APIFloating UI: https://floating-ui.com/Shepherd: https://shepherdjs.dev/Ember Animated: https://github.com/ember-animation/ember-animatedCascadiaJS: https://cascadiajs.com/Render ATL: https://www.renderatl.com/React Miami: https://www.reactmiami.com/Big Sky Dev Con: https://bigskydevcon.com/Stranger Things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_ThingsFallout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(American_TV_series)Two Bar Spirits: https://www.twobarspirits.com/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?
