Mostly Technical Podcast @mostlytechnical.com · 10/06/2026

Is @ianlandsman.com really over AI coding? Or is it actually, as @aaronfrancis.com suggests, that he's over the whole "we must build everything" wave? "You could build stuff, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea just because you built it" 🔥
