Parts Department

143 - Please, self service


Listen Later

From slippers in the spray booth to AI in the inbox, Jem and Justin spiral through another classic catch-up, this time knee-deep in robots, CNC automation, and YouTube imposter syndrome. Jem’s moving ABB arms across Victoria in a horse float, Justin’s scripting support bots while dodging scams, and both are obsessing over vacuum cycles and TPU bellows. They chat about vibe coding guilt, the future of toolpaths, and whether sharing too much online is a threat or a gift. Bonus: punting ABBs around the workshop on skates.
