This Week in AI with YK Sugi and John Lindquist

This week John Lindquist, cofounder of egghead.io, joined host and CS Dojo founder YK Sugi to break down the week's biggest AI news and make the case for a smarter way to build with agents. The pair covered Claude Fable 5's brief but impressive run and the government-ordered shutdown that followed as well as Uber burning its entire 2026 AI budget by April, mostly on Claude Code and Cursor. Then John laid out his "Clone Wave" framework: Rather than prompting agents to build from scratch, use the GitHub CLI to find existing battle-tested open source code and feed it to your agents as ingredients. As John pointed out, "Ingredients beat inference." He also walked through how Deep Wiki lets agents explore repos without cloning them, how cmux enables autonomous multi-agent workspaces, and why every tool you build should expose endpoints and CLIs your agents can both control and debug.
