The Standup with ThePrimeagen

DHH joins The Standup to talk about Omarchy Quattro, the new $8M Omarchy Foundation, and why he thinks 2026 is finally the year of the Linux desktop. Plus, AI agents, Linux security, developer burnout, Mac vs. Linux, and what building software looks like in the age of AI.

Trash gives a highly anticipated update on his journey with Linux.

We dive deep into the controversial idea that "gaming is dead" because everyone will soon just build their own games using AI. Joining as always is legendary game developer Casey Muratori to help break down the history of gaming tools, the rise of "Friendship Slop," and whether "vibe coding" can ever truly replace traditional game design.

Something different this week, we actually learn something!
Dillon joins us to explain why he switched to Pi for his AI coding workflow. We dive into the importance of context management, building custom UI extensions for your AI agent, and why minimalism often beats "token-maxing" with bloated system prompts. From automating household budgets to intercepting bad git commits, discover how to mold an AI harness around your specific developer taste.

We dive deep into the controversy surrounding Codeberg's decision to ban generative AI projects. They analyze the platform's reasoning, from hardware strain and infrastructure costs to the potential breakdown of community trust and the "slop" of low-effort pull requests. The discussion expands into the philosophy of coding, the "Amish chair" analogy for handmade software, and whether platforms like Codeberg are protecting the future of human craftsmanship or being "left behind" by the AI revolution. Along the way, they touch on everything from Boston accents and steak-cooking debates to the hidden patterns in LLM-generated humor and the "Interstellar" corn crisis.
