Description

In this episode, Symon and Marcello dive into the messy intersections of AI, algorithms, and work culture:

  • The rise (and fatigue) of formulaic LinkedIn posts
  • How AI is shaping content, and why quality often gets buried under quantity
  • AWS' take on why replacing junior devs with AI is "the dumbest idea"
  • Anxiety around AI detectors, writing styles, and online discourse
  • Layoffs, risk, and the snake-oil element of new SaaS tools
  • Security pitfalls, vibe-coded apps, and the Tea app breach
  • Why non-experts might build the most surprising (and dangerous) things with AI
  • Sam Altman's "fast fashion era of SaaS" and what it means for tech's future

Expect a mix of critique, humour, and perspective. All grounded in the realities of design, development, and running a business today.
