Why is Microsoft updating their text editors!?
About this episode
The crew talks about one of the biggest debates in programming right now: do lines of code actually matter? They dive into AI coding tools, developer productivity, and why measuring engineers by code output might be completely broken. Along the way they roast the viral “burned out my USB-C ports using Claude Code” tweet, share stories about gamifying developer metrics, and break down some surprisingly wild security vulnerabilities in both Windows Notepad and Notepad++. A mix of tech insight, developer culture, and plenty of chaos.
