    In this episode I sat down with the developer of the Pi coding agent, a core component of Clawdbot an AI digital assistant that lives on your machine.

    Mario shares a ton on his experience both using and building on AI, I believe his agent is one of the best going into 2026, and I recommend people check it out.

  • #57 - Tech Friend AJ: Augment Code, and Agentic Development
    Dec 22 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode I sit down with AJ a team member at Augment Code and the creator behind TechFren. AJ shares his journey from software engineer to content creator, driven by the realization that AI (specifically ChatGPT's early ability to write shell scripts) was fundamentally changing the "moat" of traditional coding skills.

    The conversation explores the transition from manual coding to a "worker/manager" model, where developers act as orchestrators of agentic loops. AJ explains why Augment Code has become a leader in the space, focusing on its best-in-class context engine and retrieval systems capable of indexing massive, "messy" enterprise monorepos that traditional tools struggle to handle.

    Key Discussion Points:


    Content/Attention Hedge: Why AJ moved into content creation as a strategic response to the commoditization of coding skills.

    Context Management vs. Reasoning: Why the "harness" (the retrieval and context window management) is often more important than the LLM itself for large-scale projects.

    The Solo Dev Revolution: How AI is reducing the need for massive capital and labor, enabling individual engineers to manage projects previously requiring entire teams.

    Model Context Protocol (MCP): How AJ uses MCP to bridge the gap between AI agents and real-world tools like GitHub, terminal sessions, and even 3D printers.

    AGI and Robotics: AJ’s updated timeline on AGI and the "inflection point" where humanoid robotics will flip the labor market.

  • #53: Ameen Soleimani: 0xbow.io & Meditations on Moloch
    May 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Ameen Soleimani is a foundational builder in the Ethereum ecosystem. He’s been instrumental in shaping many cornerstone projects, including authoring Moloch DAO and contributing to initiatives like Unchain Iran, 0xbow, Privacy Pools, Hai (formerly Reflexer Finance), and Reflexer.

    In this conversation, we explored the future of on-chain privacy through projects like 0xbow and Privacy Pools, as well as the legal and ethical tensions surrounding tools like Tornado Cash. We dove into the ongoing challenge of balancing privacy and compliance in the world of decentralized finance.

    We also reflected on the essay Meditations on Moloch—a profound piece that explores coordination failures, game theory, and human behavior—and its relevance to crypto governance and DAO design.

    Ameen has played a pivotal role in lifting the Ethereum ecosystem. If you’d like to support our work and dive deeper into the projects we discussed, check out the links below:
