#33 Tailwind Paradox, Andrei Kaparthy, MKBHD, Claude Code

Samuel: Welcome to command AI shortcuts, where we breeze through this weeks episode in 5 minutes or less Kabarza: It's worth saying this is automatically generated. Samuel: Don't hate us Kabarza: So there could be mistakes. Enjoy! Samuel: First up, site of the week is Persepolis Reimagined by the Getty. It's an incredible 3D digital reconstruction of the ancient city. You have to check it out. Kabarza: It's stunning. The level of detail is just... wow. A proper use of web technology to bring history to life. That's persepolis.getty.edu. Kabarza: Next, something for the developers. We've been talking about the 'Tailwind Paradox'. Samuel: Right. It’s that feeling when you see a component with a hundred utility classes and you think 'this is insane', but then you use it and... it just works. It's so fast for development. Kabarza: Exactly. It's ugly, but it's beautiful. Samuel: Andrej Karpathy dropped another banger of a tweet. He was talking about how LLMs are basically becoming the kernel of a new kind of operating system. Kabarza: Yeah, where you just prompt it to do complex tasks and it figures out which tools to use. We're getting closer to that reality every day. Kabarza: Speaking of coding, Boris Cherny, who created Claude Code, shared how he actually uses his own tool. Samuel: And it's not for some high-level magic, right? He uses it for the boring stuff! Writing boilerplate code, documentation, and unit tests. Kabarza: Which is honestly the best use case! It frees him up to focus on the actual hard problems. Samuel: And if you're using AI for coding, you've got to be looking at Cursor. Their new 'Context Discovery' feature is a game changer. It automatically finds and includes the relevant files and documentation from your codebase into the prompt. Kabarza: So you don't have to manually copy-paste anymore. It just *knows*. That's a huge step forward for in-editor AI. Kabarza: And finally, did you see the new MKBHD video? Samuel: The one with the spaceman? Epic! The production value was insane. It felt like a short film, not a tech review. A new bar has been set. Samuel: well that's all we have time for, i've been Samuel Kabarza: I've been Kabarza Samuel: Keep on vibing Kabarza: peace out
