Behind the Show
How It's Built
Every episode runs the same two-command pipeline. The infrastructure is the show.
01 // Pre-Show
/episode
Prep and Schedule
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.
02 // Showtime
Live
15 Minutes, No Retakes
OBS to VDO.Ninja to LinkedIn RTMP. Real tool, real mistakes, real workarounds. The episode flips status automatically at 4:05 PM ET and marks aired at 4:20 PM ET - no manual intervention.
03 // Post-Show
/turnover
Automated Wrap
One command uploads to YouTube with chapters, publishes show notes, updates the episode archive, and posts the LinkedIn recap. Hosts talk - machines ship.
04 // Show Memory
Echo
Insights
Echo knows the library. Ask it about any episode - tools covered, key moments, what was built. Every show is transcribed, summarized, and added to Echo's memory minutes after we wrap.

Takeaways (46)
-
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 AI -
Turn 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 AI -
Keep 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 It -
Treat MCP as the API surface for agents - if a vendor or community MCP exists, try it before writing custom API plumbing.
EP008 - API vs MCP -
Split 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 Me -
Use 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.
