Dillon, @matthamlin.me and I finally did it. We got the podcast up check us out where ever you listen to podcasts: bikeshedpod.com

New episode 🚲 Automated testing: smoke tests vs end-to-end, why enforced page object models feel like one layer too many, and three hot takes where we're supposed to disagree but mostly agree. Plus a 75-day estimate that got two months. bikeshedpod.com/episodes/30/...

If your AI agent isn’t doing exactly what you want it might just be a skill issue. In our episode Skill Issue we give spicy 🌶️ recommendations on team level and personal level skills that will level up your AI quality and output. open.spotify.com/episode/7miA...

Every time you prompt an AI, a router may be picking which model answers. Dillon, Matt, and I dig into why Stripe and Ramp are making moves on routers, and why users often can't tell which model they got, or that it wasn't the priciest one. open.spotify.com/episode/66ub...

Is Tailwind going to lose the crown 👑 as the king of CSS frameworks? Is StyleX ready to take up the mantle? There’s been a heated debate lately whether StyleX works better for prompting agents. Checkout our latest episode 42 Classes on One Div. open.spotify.com/episode/5pGJ...

The single best silver lining about flying is music sounds sublime on a plane.

Dreaming about the days where I wrote the code. Now the code writes me.

🔥 New Bikeshed episode! We made our 2026 predictions and rated them on the Spice-o-meter 🌶️ Will AI agents replace engineers? Will the AI bubble burst? Will one of us get laid off? Tune in to find out 👇 bikeshedpod.com/episodes/20/...

Two sorely underrated engineering skills: - Anticipating the impact of supporting multiple versions and deprecating promptly or having a realistic deprecation plan - Adequate testing to avoid painful bugs in future changes

Dillon Spicy Take Curry 🌶️🍛 doesn't lay off the heat 🔥 in this weeks first episode of Retro & React open.spotify.com/episode/3lOi...

Critical vulnerability in React Server Components?
Anthropic acquires Bun!?
2025 is already a wild year for JavaScript. Matt, Dillion & I called an emergency retro to break it all down in our first news episode of Retro & React. 📰🚨🔈 open.spotify.com/episode/3lOi...

🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨 React drops a severity 10 vulnerability 🔥 and Anthropic acquires Bun 🤯—not exactly the calm December we expected. We break down what it all means in our first news episode: Retro and React! bikeshedpod.com/episodes/17/...

We've been back to our weekly cadence! open.spotify.com/episode/6m7b...

🚨 New Episode 🚨 Why Internal Tooling Sucks Should you build that internal tool? Probably not. 🔥 New episode: we debate build vs buy, share war stories about custom dependency managers, and Dillon finally delivers a spicy take about Vercel. bikeshedpod.com/episodes/15/...

🚨 New Episode 🚨 🤖 Can AI actually review your code? We dig into Greptile, Copilot, CodeRabbit + internal tools at Airbnb, HubSpot & Whoop. Spoiler: one company let AI approve its own PRs. It went exactly how you'd expect. 🎧 bikeshedpod.com/episodes/16/...

🚨 Is React dead? The Bikeshed boys unpack Remix 3's wild reinvention of components, AI-generated framework code, and why "just use events" might be the hottest (or most controversial) take of 2025. 🎧 bikeshedpod.com/episodes/13/...

🚲 New Episode: Is the Web Screwed?! AI crawlers killing ads, chatbots replacing browsers, and the slow death of human-centric content. We debate whether we're heading for a hard fork of the web or just a really awkward transition. Spoiler: The web was already having a rough time 😬 🎧

I started using diffview.nvim plugin 🔌 within vim and then realized I could write my own commands for diffing like cycling through merge conflicts, keep head, main or both and my workflow leveled up. 📈 I still like having the plugin though for highlighting complex issues.

🚲 New Bikeshed Episode: Deploy Fast and Break Things?! Should you chase that 5-minute deploy dream? @scottykaye.com, @matthamlin.me, and Dillon debate whether hyper-optimized pipelines are the holy grail or just masking bigger problems. 🎧

We’re finally back‼️‼️

🚲 New episode: Managing Dependencies—It Depends! One version to rule them all? Auto-update everything? Let it rot? We dive into dependency management, from Wayfair’s one-version rule to HubSpot's evergreen system. Spoiler: There's no silver bullet, just trade-offs 😅 🎧

@matthamlin.me you up?

Why are "Saved For Laters" so bad in ecommerce? They put it in your cart so maybe I'll check out with it also. That conversion must be low. People want to create a board of items they might by at some point and reference it. Give it a page or a drawer or something. Make it feel personal.

Risky or risqué? bikeshedpod.com/episodes/9/a...

🚨 New episode alert 🚨 Are React Server Components Risky?! The gang interviews Matt on this episode, talking about all things RSCs. Exploring their benefits, trade-offs, and adoption strategies with insight from using them at Wayfair, Fireworks, and Whoop! bikeshedpod.com/episodes/9/a...

Is it okay if I refer to Claude Code as "My brother in christ" when I prompt it? Will leadership care when they inevitably read my prompts?

🚨 New episode alert 🚨 Monorepo Madness The Bikeshed podcast returns after a brief hiatus with hosts Scott Kaye, Matt Hamlin, and Dillon Curry. Tune in to hear the gang talk about keyboards, Scott's Italy trip, monorepos, and our hot takes on CSS! bikeshedpod.com/episodes/8/m...

I came across your short @kevinpowell.co www.youtube.com/shorts/XfhPu... This puts :has() in a super clear perspective. The final hover solution is something I had sent @kevinpowell.co but now I understand it so much more clearly. Thank you!

Why do I feel like sometimes I am focused on fixing the AI's syntax errors when I feel like it should be fixing all of MY syntax errors? 🤔 Has the AI takeover begun!?

I am so bad at fixing garage doors. IDK if they're worth it. I put on a new seal which was a lot of elbow grease but reprogramming it has been such a pain. I honestly think its just my 30 year old doors lol

It took me a little bit but in about a days work I built the POC I needed to, with some AI help on some of easier tasks but mostly with me laying the foundation. Seemed like a great path towards getting what I wanted done.

AI has let me down with this project and I am not too happy about it.

Go into software & become lifelong tech support for your family.

Learning recently about interpolate-size: allow-keywords; allows us to animate on height. However it took me too long to realize you could use grid to animate on height. Thank you @kevinpowell.co cc the accordion example: athena-kit-docs.vercel.app

@matthamlin.me & @getrect.dev have been building cool stuff in their free time. It's motivating me I just need time! 🤣

React & CSS are my medium and the web browser is my canvas 🎨

Does anyone else notice that AI loves to import from files that don't exist as dependencies in your app or from just the wrong folder paths? 🤣 IDK why but I feel like this is a constant.

Anyone use view transitions yet? Any thoughts or recommendations on approaches to diving into them for the first time?

Today my computer froze and almost exploded. I realized I accidentally opened up VSCode. SMDH

bikeshedpod.com/episodes/7/d... Growth 🪴

🚨 New episode alert 🚨 Ditch the Career Ladder Tune into this (slightly) shorter episode where the gang talks about career progression, engineering levels, and how to grow horizontally as well! bikeshedpod.com/episodes/7/d... sorry it's been such a long wait - hoping to get back to recording asap

I still really like React

Work on something for a few days, show it to @matthamlin.me immediately rips it to shreds. 🤣
