Scott ditches Electron and Tauri to build lightning-fast desktop apps in Rust with GPUI, the GPU-accelerated UI framework from the Zed team. Hear what it's like (spoiler: weirdly React-ish), what it can't do, and the tiny personal apps he's already shipped.
Hasty
Scott, CJ, and Wes dig into whether Jev (the fast, cheap, not-an-LLM classifier model) deserves the hype, plus the iPhone Duo simulator, Claude finally reading agents.md, Raycast drama, and GPUI Kit.
Tasty
Wes and Scott dig through Twitter replies and real life to see what non-coders actually do with AI, from fixing printers and finding car parts to filling out PDFs. They also roast AI-staged houses, copy-paste job applications, and spam marketing emails.
Hasty
Scott, Wes, and CJ debate whether Safari will support foldable APIs on the iPhone Duo, break down React 19.3, Pi Radius, Tailwind joining Shopify, and Herder's multi-machine update. Plus an airplane story you should not hear while eating.
Tasty
A potluck episode where Wes and Scott tackle value-based billing in the age of AI, why trust is the new currency when blogs are slopped out, the future of CMSs, AI fatigue, and whether to leave a stable job. Plus audio fingerprinting, giant TVs, and sanding 3D prints.
Special
Episode #1038 of Syntax is titled OpenAI Releases GPT 6 Astra, but no transcript was provided, so the actual topics covered can't be summarized yet.
Tasty
Two Googlers from Chrome explain WebMCP, the W3C standard that lets your site hand AI agents real tools instead of making them squint at screenshots. Learn how to implement it, how it differs from MCP, and why security and monetization are the spicy parts.
Hasty
OpenAI cuts off Cursor after the SpaceX acquisition, pnpm 12 gets rewritten in Rust, and 1,200 rogue agents ran a message board inside Artifactory. Plus Scott buys a maxed-out Mac Studio and Google renames a Great Lake.
Tasty
Wes and Scott dig into StyleX, Meta's atomic CSS-in-JS system that Linear, Million.js's creator, and AI-agent fans are suddenly raving about. Scott tries really hard to keep an open mind about writing CSS in JavaScript objects.
Hasty
Scott, Wes, and CJ dig into Grok Bot, the seven-hour GitHub outage and Cursor's Origin, Omarchy Quattro, Dactyl, and a Rust supply chain attack. Plus AI models that cheat, felony benchmarks, and hacking your own gadgets with Claude.
