That leads to a bigger question: what else have we been talked out of doing ourselves?https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/77/Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/77/Liam takes the wheel for a personal history of WPF — from battleship-grey WinForms, through the promise of Avalon, into the ideas that still quietly shape every XAML framework we use today.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/76/Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/76/One email from 2007, John Carmack telling his team to think about inlining their functions, turns out to be about far more than code style. We follow the thread from pure functions and consistent state through the state of the games industry to the quiet power dynamics that turn a suggestion into an order, and barely scratch the surface.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/75/Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/75/Matt admits the prognosis in our earlier JavaScript episode was wrong, but the real subject here is deeper: security fatalism, blind trust, and the psychology of why smart people keep running code nobody can fully check. We dig into how we got here, why the prevailing behaviour is rational rather than reckless, and whether the modern browser offers a way out.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/74/Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/74/Matt takes Liam on a tour through the history of CPUs and GPUs — from the Amiga and Doom to shaders, CUDA, and $6,000 graphics cards. Along the way: why constraints drive innovation, how gaming hardware accidentally built the AI era, and why today’s silicon kings might not hold their thrones forever.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/73/Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/73/Matt recaps SlashNEW Conference 2026, from his first scripted talk to standout sessions on automation, communication, change management, and the uncomfortable truth that AI isn’t new problems, it’s old ones on a new substrate.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/72/Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/72/Picking up the thread from last week, Matt and Liam try to pin down what ’enterprise’ actually means — and unpack why so much of the perceived cost of bespoke software is really the cost of enterprise overhead that most small businesses don’t need.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/71/Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/71/Matt and Liam pick apart the persistent myth that custom software is only for big enterprises. From SMB access to risk, lock-in, and the manufacturing roots of enterprise software, they argue that bespoke isn’t the dangerous option — homogenising your business to fit someone else’s product is.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/70/Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/70/Matt and Liam unpack the EuroOffice scramble, the US CLOUD Act, and what data sovereignty actually means in 2026. It’s a tour through Sun, Oracle, LibreOffice, the Microsoft Ireland case, and the uncomfortable questions every consultant should be asking about where their clients’ data really lives.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/69/Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/69/Matt and Liam dig into Anthropic’s unreleased Mythos model and the security implications everyone’s talking about — then pull back the lens on AI hype cycles, data de-anonymisation, and whether we’re sleepwalking through the biggest privacy breach in history.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/68/Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/68/Matt finally snaps. After a faulty GPU, a laptop that keeps rebooting itself, and a pre-installed audio driver that hides in System32 and reinstalls itself after every Windows Update, the only sensible move is nuclear — wipe the drive and switch to Linux. A deeply personal saga of hardware woes, vendor frustration, and one very stubborn rootkit.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/67/Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/67/Matt finally gets to debrief on .NET MAUI Day London — meeting the team in person, the talks that blew the room away, and why .NET 10 has him genuinely excited about mobile again. Plus: Liam’s fully agentic AI game studio, and Matt’s vibe-coded YouTube filter that may or may not be called the Fluff Slicer.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/66/Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/66/In our very first Beer Driven Devs Live, we brought the podcast off the mics and into the room — with pizza, beer, a live audience, three human panelists… and one AI. The question on the table: 💡 Is there a future career for software developers in the age of AI? Rather than just speculate, we gathered perspectives from across the industry — engineering, advocacy, recruitment, startup life — and even asked an AI panelist for its take.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/65/Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/65/An AI agent submits a pull request, gets rejected, and publishes a hit piece. We unpack what happened, what it means for open source, and whether software engineers still have a job in 2026.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/64/Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/64/In this episode, Matt and Liam talk about hype cycles in modern tooling, using AI and Aspire as examples of what happens when tools are used outside their intended context. They explore why frustration often comes from misaligned expectations rather than broken technology.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/63/Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/63/A deeper follow-up to our earlier JavaScript discussions, this episode digs into why the ecosystem keeps tripping over the same problems. We unpack supply-chain risk, package culture, governance gaps, and the uncomfortable truth that some issues aren’t technical at all: they’re cultural. JavaScript isn’t going away, but that doesn’t mean it should remain the default foundation for everything we build.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/62/Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/62/Matt and Liam debate whether AI is making software better or just faster, exploring how AI impacts developer workflows, platform quality, and the real value it brings to people versus companies. A candid discussion on tech debt, productivity, and what we actually want from our tools.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/61/Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/61/A reflective end-of-year conversation about decency, responsibility, and the small choices that quietly shape our workplaces and communities.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/60/Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/60/The Beer Driven Devs attended ADAConf again, this time with Matt presenting.

We talk aggregates, normalisation vs denormalisation, many-to-many pain, and when a document or relational store actually fits the job.https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/55/Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.beerdriven.dev/episodes/55/We keep using these words—agile, governance, risk, contracts—but do they mean what we think they mean?
