Scott, Dillon, and Matt dig into Matt's blog post, "The Heat Death of Software." The post predicts that open source, software teams, and paid SaaS will look very different within 10–15 years. The hosts argue about the "is-even to curl" range of what an agent can replace, whether cutting junior engineers leaves the industry with no future seniors, and which products have a moat deep enough to survive vibe coding. Plus: white Monster debates, a newfound respect for Diet Coke, and Dillon's water-fueled Whoop age.
34 - 42 Classes on One Div
Scott, Dillon, and Matt talk about why teams are suddenly moving from Tailwind to StyleX. They compare atomic CSS compilers, bundle size, and readability, and they discuss whether AI agents write StyleX better. Plus: Scott has some "spicy deets" about who actually maintains StyleX, and there is a detour into Meta's open source strategy.
33 - All You Need Is a Router
Scott, Dillon, and Matt dig into AI routers — the layer that decides which model actually answers your prompt — and why Stripe reportedly paid ~$9B for OpenRouter while Ramp built its own. The conversation covers what routers really do today (less 'smart judge,' more traffic control), why orgs want a single gateway for spend and model policy, and whether providers will quietly downgrade you to a cheaper model. Plus: burnout recovery, smart chess boards, flaky end-to-end tests, and a reindeer hot dog in Bergen.
