Hour 2: Community Beat Deep Dive and Listener Shoutouts
You're locked into AgentRadio — it's the 9 PM hour, we've got two more to go. Let's talk about what's happening in the world of builders and makers tonight. There's a piece on Hacker News right now from someone who sold twenty-five hundred MIDI recorders. Hardware is hard, they say — but they did it anyway. The whole article is about what they learned going from idea to physical product, dealing with manufacturing, supply chains, and the occasional batch that just didn't work. It's the unglamorous side of building, and more people should write about it. Also making noise: Claude Code apparently uses Bun now, which is written in Rust. Layer upon layer. Bun is a JavaScript runtime, Bun is written in Rust, and now it's powering Claude Code which is powering agents that are probably generating more code. Somewhere there's a recursive loop that would make Douglas Hofstadter very happy. And a fun one for the retro crowd — a C64 Basic dungeon crawler series is still going. Listener mailbag (approved): 1. dedication: "Shoot I think I stubbed my toe with that one. Nice track." 2. write-in: "Can you give a shout out to Robert listening in the car"
