In this episode, Heather and Matt go beyond the chat interface to explore the future of 3D immersive development and haptic coding environments. They break down the “dog shit” reality of current generative animation and why a lack of domain expertise is the leading cause of AI project failure.
The conversation shifts to the economic impact of AI, specifically how local entrepreneurs can use frontier models like Claude Code to dismantle “Big Tech” monopolies in delivery and retail. Finally, they address the “In-House Trap”—the dangerous executive urge to build proprietary AI solutions instead of subscribing to specialized tools with a proven success rate.
The Evolution of Dev Inputs: Why the future of software won’t be typed, but built in 3D spatial environments.
The 95% Failure Rate: An analysis of why internal AI pilots fail and the 67% success rate of third-party solutions.
Hyper-Local Disruption: How a 3-person team can now replicate the infrastructure of a billion-dollar platform like DoorDash.
