The Future Called. It's Using CSS2.
Notes de l’épisode
This week, Robbie and Adam sip on Chicken Cock Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon and dive into building mobile apps with Claude, CSS infinity, MySpace's comeback, and whether 2026 is just 2006 but way more expensive. They dig into the Doorway app for ADHD task tracking, voice dictation workflows, AI keyboards, Steve Yegge's hot takes on CICD and code review, mental health in the age of agents, design system chaos, LLM failures, why Opus 5 still wins, and skull.style as the future of passive income. Along the way, they debate MySpace's return and nostalgia culture, retro gaming and digital ownership, CSS layers and Tailwind quirks, prop for that and responsive border radiuses, infinity pixels breaking browsers, treating agents nice versus yelling at them, caveman prompting versus verbose explanations, dark factories and internal bleeding, human code review being dead, agent overload and mental health decline, whiskey build times as a metaphor for patience, and why five year feedback loops sound like torture.
