    Retro & React - 2

    The bikeshed boys discuss two major tech industry developments: Anthropic's crackdown on third-party agent harnesses and Tailwind's recent layoffs. They explore how Anthropic is shifting focus from the model itself to their suite of tools to create stickiness, and how AI tools like Claude are disrupting the component library business model that Tailwind relied on.

    AI Wrote My Performance Review

    It's review season, and the bikeshed boys dive into the dreaded annual performance review process—and how AI is changing everything about it. They share strategies for writing effective self-reviews, debate whether managers already know where they'll rank you before reading a word, and explore the messy dynamics of team politics: fighting for interesting projects, dealing with too many senior engineers, and avoiding the "senior trap" of over-architecting instead of shipping. Plus: New Year's resolutions, Claude Max vs. Cursor debates, and why Arc Raiders lobbies are way sweatier in trios.

    Why Internal Tooling Sucks

    The bikeshed boys tackle one of software engineering's most contentious debates: should you build internal tools or adopt external solutions? With real examples from their companies—custom dependency managers, GitHub wrappers, and developer portals—they explore when it makes sense to roll your own versus when you're just creating expensive technical debt. Expect war stories, a framework for build-vs-buy decisions, and Dillon's first truly spicy take about Vercel.
