  • Can AI Teach Me React? (Stuck in Tutorial Hell)
    Jan 13 2026

    In this episode of the HTML All The Things Podcast, Matt continues his experiment to see whether AI can actually teach him React - or if it just leads straight into tutorial hell. After taking Mike’s advice to step away from AI and try writing code manually, Matt quickly realizes how hard it is to apply new concepts without guidance, especially when unfamiliar JavaScript ES6 features enter the picture.

    The discussion dives into learning React through AI-assisted tutorials, the struggle of truly understanding concepts versus simply following along, and how easy it is to fall into endless side-quests like array and object destructuring. Along the way, Matt also reflects on the content-creator dilemma: when learning in public, should you slow down to deeply explore every concept, or push forward and learn what you need as you go?

  • Web News: Is Microsoft Copilot Any Good?
    Jan 10 2026

    Microsoft has been pushing Copilot into nearly every corner of its ecosystem - Microsoft 365, Windows 11, Xbox, and even PC branding - but the reaction from developers and users feels strangely muted. In this edition of the Web News, Matt takes the lead as we check in on Microsoft Copilot, the state of Windows 11, and how the broader Microsoft ecosystem is being perceived heading into 2026. Is Copilot actually useful, or is it just another feature being forced into products people already feel lukewarm about?

    In this episode of the HTML All The Things Podcast, Matt and Mike look back at the biggest web development trends of 2025 before making predictions for what’s coming in 2026. From the explosion of AI-assisted tooling and supply-chain security incidents to framework fatigue, React Server Component controversies, and Svelte 5’s momentum, the landscape is shifting fast. They also discuss why design engineering roles are rising, why exploits and CVEs may accelerate, and how AI will continue to reshape developer workflows in the year ahead.
