    Is Anthropic's Mythos a Myth? | Episode 3

    On this episode of Lets Tech About It, join me Caden Epp and my co-hosts Ashley Abongwa and Jarrett Plate as we dive into the latest developments from Anthropic and unpack their newest AI model along with the idea of a “Mythos” model. We break down what these advancements could mean for the future of artificial intelligence, how they might reshape the software development landscape, and where we think the role of developers is headed as AI continues to evolve. From tooling to job dynamics to creativity in coding, we explore both the opportunities and the real questions the tech community is facing right now. In our second segment, we introduce something new with Random.App, where we jump into a live “vibe coding” session and build out an application idea together on the spot. It is a mix of creativity, problem solving, and real-time decision making as we talk through the process, the tech choices, and what it is like to build without overthinking.

    Code, Class, Repeat w/ Nardos | Episode 5

    On this episode of Let’s Tech About It, join me Caden Epp and my co-host Ashley Abongwa as we sit down with Nardos, someone who is already making major moves early in her tech career. From starting at Indian Hills Community College to landing an internship at Principal after just one semester, her journey shows what can happen when preparation meets opportunity. We talk through her transition from intern to full-time employee, how she balanced school while working in a professional tech environment, and what it was like stepping into a promotion so early on. Along the way, we dive into the importance of mentorship, networking, and taking advantage of every opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. We also explore the technical side of her experience, including what working on real-world systems has taught her beyond the classroom and how she continues to learn in an industry that never slows down. Outside of tech, we get into how she manages a busy schedule while still making time for friends, travel, concerts, and capturing memories along the way. This episode is all about growth, balance, and building a career in tech from the ground up.

    Tik Tok... For Farmers..? Spin Off w/ James Warner | Episode 4

    On this spin off episode of Lets Tech About It, join me (Caden Epp) and my co host (Ashley Abongwa) as I sit down with James Warner and our third co host (Lincoln Gilbert), a first year student, for a completely random build challenge. We let Siri decide our next idea by asking it to pick a number, and whatever it landed on became the concept we had to run with. The result was Farm Tok, a TikTok style platform built specifically for farmers. Throughout the episode, we break down how something like this could actually be created, from features and user experience to the tech stack and overall vision. It is a mix of creativity, problem solving, and seeing how far we can take a random idea and turn it into something real. This episode is all about thinking on the fly, building from scratch, and having fun with the process of turning a simple prompt into a full blown tech concept.

    The Robot Won’t Fix Itself… Or Will It? w/ Garrett Ward | Episode 2

    On this episode of Lets Tech About It, join me Caden Epp and my co host Ashley Abongwa as we sit down with Garrett Ward to talk about what it really means to teach technology in a world that keeps trying to automate thinking away. We walk through his path from technical training programs and hands on field work in medical technology to stepping into an educator role focused on robotics and software. Along the way we explore the difference between working with real world systems versus writing code, why teaching mindset matters just as much as teaching tools, and how to use technology for efficiency without letting it create laziness. Tune in as we ask whether the robot will fix itself or if students still need to learn how to think.
