[Sponsor] Sentry: Catch, trace, and fix bugs across your entire stack. Use code: prime for $100 in free sentry credits → https://trm.sh/sentry [Description] The Standup dives into the future of developer tools, from GitHub’s move deeper into Microsoft’s AI organization and the fight over LLM training on open-source code to TJ’s attempt to turn Neovim into a full GUI. Plus: vibe-coded games, Pokémon vending machine PvP, and Prime turns 40.

AI is changing how we write software, but what does that mean for programming languages and computer science education? The crew debates Python vs. C, whether language aesthetics still matter, what CS degrees should actually teach, and whether low-level knowledge will become even more valuable in the age of AI.

Learn more: https://trm.sh/linear [Description] In this episode of The Standup, Casey Muratori joins us to look at the fascinating parallels between 1968 tech and today. We examine the original context of "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and flip through the pages of Datamation from over 50 years ago. It’s a wild trip through early ray tracing, the birth of firmware, and the first mentions of virtual machines.

DHH joins The Standup to talk about Omarchy Quattro, the new $8M Omarchy Foundation, and why he thinks 2026 is finally the year of the Linux desktop. Plus, AI agents, Linux security, developer burnout, Mac vs. Linux, and what building software looks like in the age of AI.

Trash gives a highly anticipated update on his journey with Linux.

We dive deep into the controversial idea that "gaming is dead" because everyone will soon just build their own games using AI. Joining as always is legendary game developer Casey Muratori to help break down the history of gaming tools, the rise of "Friendship Slop," and whether "vibe coding" can ever truly replace traditional game design.
