Is Google actually getting worse — or is there just too much internet? In episode two of Breaking the Build, Tim and James get into why search results have become a minefield of SEO spam, why everyone secretly adds "Reddit" to their Google searches, and what a React security vulnerability has to do with JavaScript running where it was never supposed to.

Topics covered: Google search quality, SEO and content farms, Next.js and React security vulnerabilities, JavaScript on the server, Node.js, abstraction in modern web development, paid vs free search engines.

This casual tech podcast covers both the big-picture frustrations of using the internet in 2025 and the very specific developer pain of maintaining code built on too many layers of abstraction. Plus: a Pi-hole that accidentally broke household shopping, and a working theory that the internet just needs a hard reboot.

Perfect for: web developers, software engineers, tech enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever added "Reddit" to a Google search.
