This month's pod is all about revisiting AI now that it's been a year since we talked about it last. Rich and Branden go over how they're using AI in the daily lives, the value each of them feel it provides for them, and then things take a turn as they discuss the advent of AI agents and the potentially disastrous effects it will have on engineering in the future.

There has been a lot of talk on tech Youtube about De-”Google” or “De-Microsoft” yourself and your company. While we completely agree that you as a user or a business should have complete control over your data, we find that some of the solutions provided have major pitfalls that either make it unattainable to the average user or missing major features. We wanted to give both sides of the argument since it seemed very one-sided from our point of view.
