Show Notes
This was the first episode we’ve done which has been recorded live with an audience! It was hosted at the DDD South West conference in Bristol (UK), and I was joined by a panel of speakers. After introductions, I kicked off the conversation with a question about AI - and then we went from there, taking further dev-related questions from the audience.

In this episode, Gui Ferreira is back for the second of two episodes we recorded back-to-back. In the last episode we did a deep dive into Claude Code - and this time we're talking about using coding agents for things that aren't code! We chatted about pointing an agent at a folder of markdown files, daily briefs and personal podcasts, running coach agents built on Strava and Garmin data, an Obsidian vault as a "life agent", and building personal software just for yourself - and when it's wor...
In this episode, I was joined again by Gui Ferreira - who was last on the show back in episode 78 talking about goals and time management. This time we're talking AI, and specifically a deep dive into Claude Code, which Gui has two Dometrain courses on! We did a lightning round of our favourite Claude Code features and tips - including /goal, dynamic workflows vs /batch, auto mode (and the surprise behaviour change that caught me out!), Ctrl+G and Ctrl+S, voice mode, /btw, rewinding, path-sco...
In this episode, I was joined by Matt Pocock - creator of Total TypeScript, and the author of the wildly popular mattpocock/skills repo of agent skills, which work with any agent or model. We deliberately agreed beforehand not to plan this one, and just let the conversation go wherever it wanted to! We chatted about his grill-me and wayfinder skills, the death of tactical programming, the "smart zone" and the "dumb zone" of context windows, whether sprints still make any sense, and the era of...
In this episode, I was joined by Tabish Bidiwale, the creator of OpenSpec! As a daily user (and big fan) of OpenSpec, this was a great honour to geek-out about it with the creator, and chat in general about coding with AI agents.

This was another live audience recording, hosted once again at the DDD South West conference in Bristol (UK) - two years on from the first live panel we recorded there. I was joined by a panel of speakers, and this time the conversation focused specifically on what AI means for software developers. After introductions, we dug into whether AI is going to take our jobs, how much code we actually still hand-write, whether (and how) we review every line of AI-generated code, what's going to happe...
