2026 Predictions Scott, Dillon, and Matt share their boldest (and not-so-bold) predictions for 2026 β€” from autonomous coding agents replacing engineers, to the AI bubble bursting, to one of the hosts getting laid off....

πŸ”₯ New Bikeshed episode! We made our 2026 predictions and rated them on the Spice-o-meter 🌢️

Will AI agents replace engineers? Will the AI bubble burst? Will one of us get laid off?

Two sorely underrated engineering skills:

- Anticipating the impact of supporting multiple versions and deprecating promptly or having a realistic deprecation plan
- Adequate testing to avoid painful bugs in future changes

The Downfall of React The bikeshed boys talk about the new hottest web framework on the block: Remix 3, hopefully its third times the charm for the remix guys!

🚨 Is React dead?

The Bikeshed boys unpack Remix 3's wild reinvention of components, AI-generated framework code, and why "just use events" might be the hottest (or most controversial) take of 2025.

AI crawlers killing ads, chatbots replacing browsers, and the slow death of human-centric content. We debate whether we're heading for a hard fork of the web or just a really awkward transition.

I started using diffview.nvim plugin πŸ”Œ within vim and then realized I could write my own commands for diffing like cycling through merge conflicts, keep head, main or both and my workflow leveled up. πŸ“ˆ I still like having the plugin though for highlighting complex issues.

Why are "Saved For Laters" so bad in ecommerce? They put it in your cart so maybe I'll check out with it also. That conversion must be low. People want to create a board of items they might by at some point and reference it. Give it a page or a drawer or something. Make it feel personal.
