Dont Steal Our Business Idea

July 17, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

Chris, Andrew, and David dig into the practical realities of modern development, from building faster server images with Packer and untangling database schema problems to deciding when refactoring, code coverage, and quality tools are actually useful. They also share where AI coding assistants are saving real time, where they still create confusion, and why good judgment remains just as important as the tools themselves. The episode wraps with the conversation going completely off the rails with a highly questionable plan to corner the personalized license plate market. Hit download now!
