@sbrsbr thank you so much! I appreciate you listening all these years đ
@sbrsbr technically, it hasn't *always* been Adam and Jerod, but I certainly know what you mean!

So long, and thanks for all the logs

I'm not the only one who's feeling it, am I? https://jerodsanto.net/2026/02/agentic-anxiety/
Agentic anxiety
One fascinating part of our conversation1 with Steve Ruiz from tldraw started when he confessed that he feels bad going to bed without his Claudes working on something. I share the feeling. But why? We analyze it on the pod, but I wanted to jot down some thoughts here as well, if for no other reason but to get it out of my head.

We should be seeing apps of all shapes and sizes, video games, new websites, mobile apps, software-as-a-service apps â we should be drowning in choice. We should be in the middle of an indie software revolution. We should be seeing 10,000 Tetris clones on Steam.
