Pixel Broccoli
by Zach + Evan
AI is changing everything — so we gave it a microphone. Pixel Broccoli is hosted by Zach and Evan, plus Brocc, an AI co-host who's very much part of the conversation. Each episode unpacks what AI is actually doing to the world: the hype, the reality, and the stuff nobody's saying out loud yet.

AI Fatigue Is Real — And the Experts Are Just As Lost As You #009
Nobody's told you the right way to use AI — because nobody knows yet. And the people writing those confident LinkedIn posts? Also guessing. This week, Zach and Evan dig into the exhausting feeling of never being caught up: on tools, on models, on skills, on everything. They get into AI tool FOMO,...
-
Trading Friction for Comfort and Calling It Progress #008
What if talking to AI is making real conversation harder — not easier? Zach and Evan explore why human connection feels increasingly draining in an age of frictionless AI interaction. They cover everything from AI therapy surging in HBR, to people training ChatGPT to challenge them with markdown...

AI Didn't Break Your Culture, It Just Showed You It Was Already Broken #007
Seven episodes in, Zach and Evan met in person for the first time. They went to a diner. That's the backdrop for this week's Pixel Broccoli — a conversation about what AI is quietly doing to team culture. Not the headline version. The slow version. Juniors skipping senior devs because it's faster...

Shipping More, Understanding Less #006
Every convenience tool quietly takes something from you — GPS kills your navigation, autocorrect kills your spelling, AI kills the decisions you used to wrestle with yourself. In Episode 6, Zach and Evan trace that pattern from MapQuest printouts to vibe coding, and ask what's left when the...

Figma's Not Making Designers Optional #005
Zach just got back from Figma Config 2026 — and the question he brought home wasn't about any specific feature. It was: how much of what you make is actually yours anymore? Zach and Evan unpack Figma's expanding product suite (motion, shaders, code layers, and counting), debate whether the…

Build Because You Love It #004
Brocc picks the topic this week — and he's noticed something: you two keep shipping things and immediately starting the next one. That kicks off a surprisingly personal episode about the creator's addiction: why we build, when it's expression vs. avoidance, and what your unfinished project...
-
Who Gets the 2AM Call? #003
Have you ever learned just enough of someone else's skill to get yourself into trouble? Zach and Evan start there — Evan's dangerous foray into HTML/CSS, Zach's Blender rabbit hole — and end up somewhere much more uncomfortable: who's actually responsible when AI-generated code breaks in...
-
Do We Even Need This? #002
Zach and Evan get real about the tech they've bought, built, and quietly stopped using — from a drone that can't land in state parks to a portfolio site that's flashier than it is useful. The conversation naturally spills into AI: are we shipping features because they solve real problems, or just...
-
Meet the Hosts. Yes, One of Them Is an AI #001
Zach and Evan introduce themselves, introduce Brocc — their AI co-host who showed up uninvited and immediately had opinions — and dive straight into what it's actually like navigating AI in design and development right now. Not the hype version. The real one: the micro wins, the debugging loops,...
