Mobile AI apps are raking in cash—or at least convincing you that your fern obsession is worth $20 a month.

We explore how ChatGPT dominates while its shameless clones play whack-a-mole in app stores. Who’s winning, who's grifting, and who's quietly printing money?

Forget dark-mode IDEs and midnight debugging crises—AI tools are ushering in a vibecoder revolution. This episode unpacks the surge in agentic IDEs like Cursor (think Jarvis meets Clippy, but actually helpful) and text-to-web platforms (just say, “Airbnb for iguanas,” and poof, it's live). From Bolt’s explosive growth to the surprising overlap between coders and no-code builders, we explore how AI is blurring the line between developers and dreamers. Whether you're coding hardcore or just vibing your next startup into existence, the future is here—and apparently, it's a vibe.
