495: 2025 Wrapped - The Official Year of AI Development
About this episode
James and Frank unwrap 2025 as the Year of AI Development, covering new models, the rise of agents, and editor integrations like Copilot in VS Code that changed how developers write and maintain code. You’ll hear practical takeaways—how next-edit, local models, RAG/vectorization and app‑on‑demand sped prototyping, slashed maintenance time, and why the hosts think the AI boom has legs into 2026 despite looming uncertainty.
