Episode notes
Agentic Coding's Rise
- Steve Yegge predicts "agentic coding" will surpass "vibe coding" by Q3 2025, revolutionizing software development.
- This shift, driven by coding agents, will enhance coding efficiency but increase costs significantly.
Postgres Best Practices
- Ethan McCue recommends several Postgres patterns for improved developer experience.
- These include UUID primary keys, created_at/updated_at fields, schemas, enum tables, and more.
