Two friends who kept texting each other about launches and eventually decided to just press record. What started as a Twitter Spaces overflow is now a weekly live show — forty-eight episodes and counting.
HOST · DESIGNDesign-minded generalist who prefers shipping over strategising. Kabarza handles the product segment and the live demos — which is to say, the bits that look the best and break the most. Unreasonably invested in kerning.
Writes about the craft of shipping at kabarza.com. Has opinions about every IDE you've ever used. Will defend IBM Plex to the grave.
Engineer who treats every new model release as a reason to write a new harness. Samuel runs the bench segment and most of the live coding — which is to say, the bits that produce real numbers and occasional smoke.
Maintains the show's open-source bench. Has strong opinions about evaluation. Will not defend any IDE; he's seen them all fall.
HOST · DEVWe think the week in AI, design and dev is worth an hour — if you don't waste the hour.
Every Friday, 4pm UK. We miss one or two Fridays a year for public holidays and one host's wedding. We announce breaks the week before.
If you shipped something and want to talk about how it broke, yes. Email us. We're not running a panel show — we're not interested in thought leadership.
On each episode page. They're machine-generated and then cleaned up by us, with timestamps. They lag the episode by about a day.
We take one mid-roll sponsor per episode. We read the copy ourselves or we don't read it. Email sponsors@cmdaishow.com if you want a rate card.
Yes. Audio-only, same episode numbers, drops 24h after the live show. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, anywhere else with an RSS reader.
Because "⌘ + AI" would not fit on a YouTube thumbnail, and "CMD+AI" already reads like a shortcut. If you hate it, write your own show.
