1023: Mosh, Caddy & Tailscale: A Remote Dev Deep Dive

Running your dev process off your main machine doesn’t have to mean the cloud. Scott and Wes break down how to host projects on a box you can reach from any device, close your laptop mid-build, and keep long-running processes alive. They cover Scott’s stack (Mosh, Caddy, Tailscale, Zed, and terminal AI agents like Claude Code), the annoyances of mobile TUIs, and whether it beats staying local.

1022: Bun re-written in Rust, Zig team big mad

CJ and Scott break down the biggest week in web dev: TypeScript 7 ships with a 10x-faster native port, Bun gets rewritten in Rust (much to the Zig team’s dismay), and Better Auth joins Vercel. Plus GPT-5.6 first impressions, Odin 1.0, Cloudflare’s new Workers cache and drag-and-drop deploys, and the OpenCode 2 beta.

1020: Do You Read The Code?

Auto-accept on, brain off? We’re getting into whether anyone actually reads the code they ship anymore — then it’s HTTP’s first new method in 16 years (meet QUERY) and OpenAI’s compute-hungry “Sol Ultra” tier landing in Codex.

1019: LGTM, Ship It: The AI Code Review Problem

This episode tackles the growing pains of AI-assisted development, from the struggle of reviewing thousands of lines of agent-generated code to the mounting technical debt when teams merge PRs without meaningful human review. Scott and Wes also dig into local models, whether jujutsu really beats git, how freelancers should price work in the AI era, and getting your team on board with external libraries.
