Your CS Degree Is Teaching You the Wrong Things Sep 04, 2026

Show notes

AI is changing how we write software, but what does that mean for programming languages and computer science education? The crew debates Python vs. C, whether language aesthetics still matter, what CS degrees should actually teach, and whether low-level knowledge will become even more valuable in the age of AI.

[Description]
In this episode of The Standup, Casey Muratori joins us to look at the fascinating parallels between 1968 tech and today. We examine the original context of "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and flip through the pages of Datamation from over 50 years ago. It’s a wild trip through early ray tracing, the birth of firmware, and the first mentions of virtual machines.

Is Vibe Coding a Game? Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

We dive deep into the controversial idea that "gaming is dead" because everyone will soon just build their own games using AI. Joining as always is legendary game developer Casey Muratori to help break down the history of gaming tools, the rise of "Friendship Slop," and whether "vibe coding" can ever truly replace traditional game design.

Minimalist Coding Harness Pi Aug 08, 2026

Show notes

Something different this week, we actually learn something!
Dillon joins us to explain why he switched to Pi for his AI coding workflow. We dive into the importance of context management, building custom UI extensions for your AI agent, and why minimalism often beats "token-maxing" with bloated system prompts. From automating household budgets to intercepting bad git commits, discover how to mold an AI harness around your specific developer taste.

The Codeberg Situation Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

We dive deep into the controversy surrounding Codeberg's decision to ban generative AI projects. They analyze the platform's reasoning, from hardware strain and infrastructure costs to the potential breakdown of community trust and the "slop" of low-effort pull requests. The discussion expands into the philosophy of coding, the "Amish chair" analogy for handmade software, and whether platforms like Codeberg are protecting the future of human craftsmanship or being "left behind" by the AI revolution. Along the way, they touch on everything from Boston accents and steak-cooking debates to the hidden patterns in LLM-generated humor and the "Interstellar" corn crisis.
