#15 "Dev Mode: Trademarked and Triggered"

From AI‑powered coding epiphanies to unexpected Objective‑C detours, this episode is equal parts tech therapy and hacker joyride. Kalen and David tame verbose Claude 3.7, celebrate Flow’s new multi‑step loops, and brainstorm auto‑styled Shopify widgets that design themselves. They rant about Figma’s “Dev Mode” trademark, debate whether kids should let ChatGPT ace biology homework, and plot a sabbatical‑fuelled walkabout. Grab headphones and join the chaos; the future of dev life has never sounded messier—or more fun. 0:00 Intro 1:16 Riverside audio struggles 4:02 Mac‑app dreams & Objective‑C fears 5:57 ChatGPT let‑downs, meet DBT 7:21 Claude bracelets & AI‑tool banter 8:56 Dependency hell → modeling wins 15:17 Native Shopify vs external data models 20:40 Dialing in Claude 3.7 prompts 24:38 Model‑name confusion marathon 28:07 AI untangles messy theme‑JS 30:15 AI terminal tools & cost talk 32:32 Rapid Polaris UI building 34:46 Grappling with Shopify MCP 36:26 Dezi.dev & AI layout builders 38:03 Multi‑step loops land in Flow 39:48 AI‑powered app‑theme styling 45:15 Figma “Dev Mode” trademark rant 49:04 Theme price‑tracker insights 55:07 Kids, AI & education debate 58:58 OpenAI “Yeets” rumor mill 59:58 Sabbatical plans & sign‑off
