This is a show about building at the frontier — incredible creators doing beautiful things with software, how everything is changing, how everything is super exciting and scary and cool and weird at the same time.

We dig into the foundations that let you actually leverage AI for native development, how to organize a massive codebase for agents, the insane list of features shipped in a few days, why Jack is building an automated CI/CD pipeline for content and docs, personalized release notes, and a brand new offline voice-controlled D&D experience called DM.MD.</p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00:00 - Intro</p><p>00:01:49 - The buffer is gone</p><p>00:03:24 - Foundations that let you move at the speed of thought</p><p>00:07:44 - When the models got good enough to one-shot everything</p><p>00:13:03 - “Opus, take the wheel”</p><p>00:16:48 - Building the machine that builds the machine</p><p>00:26:31 - Software creators, not software engineers</p><p>00:29:15 - The automated content factory</p><p>00:36:00 - The feature avalanche</p><p>00:43:38 - Discovery is broken and nobody knows what to do about it</p><p>00:53:52 - What happens when your users want things to stay the same</p><p>01:05:00 - DM.MD</p><p><strong>Find us:</strong></p><p>* <strong>Click Browser</strong> → <a target="_blank" href="https://clickbrowser.app">clickbrowser.app</a></p><p>* <strong>Worktrees</strong> → <a target="_blank" href="https://worktre.es">worktre.es</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/1932691-jack-bogdan">Jack Bogdan</a> → <a target="_blank" href="https://threads.net/@jackbogdan">@jackbogdan on Threads</a> & <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/jackbgodan">X</a> · <a target="_blank" href="https://jackbogdan.com">jackbogdan.com</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/408859-chris-messina">Chris Messina</a> → <a target="_blank" href="https://threads.net/@chris">@chris on Threads</a> · <a target="_blank" href="https://chrismessina.me">chrismessina.me</a></p><p>Subscribe to Worktrees.
