From AI‑powered coding epiphanies to unexpected Objective‑C detours, this episode is equal parts tech therapy and hacker joyride. Kalen and David tame verbose Claude 3.7, celebrate Flow’s new multi‑step loops, and brainstorm auto‑styled Shopify widgets that design themselves. They rant about Figma’s “Dev Mode” trademark, debate whether kids should let ChatGPT ace biology homework, and plot a sabbatical‑fuelled walkabout. Grab headphones and join the chaos; the future of dev life has never sounded messier—or more fun.
