Behind the Show
Every episode runs the same two-command pipeline. The infrastructure is the show.
One command creates the episode doc, generates show notes template, schedules the LinkedIn event, and stages the OBS overlay. Chris and Sash pick the tool - the pipeline handles everything else.
OBS to VDO.Ninja to LinkedIn RTMP. Real tool, real mistakes, real workarounds. The episode flips status automatically at 16:05 ET and marks aired at 16:20 ET - no manual intervention.
One command uploads to YouTube with chapters, publishes show notes, updates the episode archive, and posts the LinkedIn recap. Hosts talk - machines ship.
Echo knows the library. Ask her about any episode - tools covered, key moments, what was built. She gets sharper every Friday.
Ask Echo →Passing unit tests can still hide a broken system. 671 green tests checked the code, not whether the real automations fired - test the outcomes you actually depend on, not just the units.
EP010 - Watchdogs for Your Personal AITurn every incident into a permanent check. Log each break to a regressions.md and collect them into one smoke-test skill so the same failure can never silently return.
EP010 - Watchdogs for Your Personal AIKeep secrets out of chat logs - pipe credentials through a hook that injects from a vault into the environment, never into the prompt.
EP009 - Refactor Your AI, Don't Set ItTreat MCP as the API surface for agents - if a vendor or community MCP exists, try it before writing custom API plumbing.
EP008 - API vs MCPSplit your personal AI stack into a body (always-on, reachable) and a brain (heavy session-based work). Don't try to make one tool do both.
EP007 - My Agents Had a Convo at Midnight Without MeUse plan mode in Claude Code (Shift+Tab) before you let it write anything - it cannot touch files, so a misclick is harmless and the output is sharper.

Drive tmux sessions from Claude Code - panes, windows, long-running jobs.
Interactive click-through of the regression + smoke-test watchdog setup.
