    TanStack AI with Jack Herrington

    Jack Herrington joins PodRocket to show why TanStack AI might be the last AI SDK you reach for. He breaks down code mode, a single-shot TypeScript execution that wipes out the round-trip tax of traditional LLM tool calling, plus the AGUI standard that frees your backend from vendor lock-in. We also discuss type-safe tool calls, self healing code mode skills, built in AI dev tools, and incoming Claude Code and MCP harness support.

    VoidZero joins Cloudflare, and a $60K monthly token bill | Panel

    Paige, Jack, Paul, and Noel break down the Cloudflare VoidZero acquisition that puts Vite and Evan You under the Cloudflare roof and what it means for open source sustainability when it seems like acquisition is the only exit. We also talk about Uber burning its annual AI coding tools budget in four months, the Claude Max token subsidy math, and whether local AI models can break the cost curve.

    What 7,000 developers actually think about AI

    Sacha Greif, creator of the State of Web Dev AI survey, joins the podcast to walk through what over 7,000 web developers actually reported about their AI tool usage, code quality concerns, and growing worries about AI financial costs. Only 29% of developers generate a quarter or less of their code with AI, and the survey reveals surprisingly balanced views on LLM hallucinations, developer job security, and even AI's environmental footprint. A grounded, data-driven counterweight to the AI hype cycle.

    Zed 1.0... GPUI, Rust, and the future of native apps with Mikayla Maki

    Mikayla Maki, software engineer at Zed, digs into what makes this Rust-built code editor tick... from GPUI, their GPU-accelerated UI framework with a Tailwind-inspired API, to CRDTs powering real-time live collaboration without merge conflicts. She talks about the Zed 1.0 release, their approach to AI, how the team builds popular features directly into core instead of relying on extensions, and why Rust might be the best language for agentic coding. Plus: native app comeback, GPUI on mobile, and where the framework is heading.

  5. Bun's rust rewrite, the TanStack hack, and the $60B Cursor deal | Panel

    May 21

    Bun's rust rewrite, the TanStack hack, and the $60B Cursor deal | Panel

    This month's panel digs into the SpaceX Cursor acquisition rumor and what a $60 billion valuation means for AI coding tools. They debate Bun's million-line Rust rewrite generated entirely by AI, the tradeoffs of agentic coding at scale, and a sophisticated CI/CD cache poisoning attack targeting TanStack. Plus: practical takes on Claude token optimization, session forensics, local AI models, and why most Claude Code skills work best when tailored, not pulled off the shelf.

    pnpm 11 deep dive with lead maintainer Zoltan Kochan

    pnpm lead maintainer Zoltan Kochan joins PodRocket to unpack pnpm 11's biggest shifts: a new minimum release age default that blocks npm registry packages under 24 hours old, a cleaner allow builds config replacing scattered post-install script settings, and the experimental global virtual store that slashes install times with Git worktrees. Zoltan also shares why a Rust rewrite of pnpm's engine is now underway, and how AI-assisted development made it possible far sooner than expected.

    AI still sucks at frontend with Adam Argyle

    Google Chrome engineer Adam Argyle breaks down why AI is bad at frontend development and CSS in particular. From LLM training data problems to the fact that LLMs can't see, the issues run deep. But it's not all doom! Adam shares a game-changing technique for getting creative AI generated UI by asking for low probability outputs, introduces tools like Impeccable and V0 for AI assisted CSS editing, and dives into agentic loop engineering with auto research, an overnight AI workflow he uses to ship improvements while he sleeps.

    Next.js works everywhere now, Jimmy Lai tells us how.

    Jimmy Lai, manager of the Next.js team at Vercel, joins the podcast to explain the adapters API, why it exists, how it fixes Next.js self-hosting pain across platforms like Cloudflare, AWS Amplify, and Netlify, and what it unlocks for partial pre-rendering. He also shares where the team is headed: server components, feature flags at request time, and building the best agentic developer experience for a world where agents write most of the code.
