In this episode, I, Stewart Alsop III, sat down with AJ Beckner to walk through how non-technical founders can build a deeper understanding of their codebase using AI tools like Cursor and Claude. We explored the reality of navigating an IDE as a beginner, demystified Git and GitHub version control, and walked through practical ways to clone a repo, open it safely in Cursor, and start asking questions about your app's structure and functionality without breaking anything. AJ shared his curiosity about finding specific text in his app and how to track that down across branches. We also looked at using AI-powered tools for tasks like dependency analysis and visualizing app architecture, with a focus on empowering non-devs to gain confidence and clarity in their product's code. You can connect with AJ through Twitter at @thisistheaj.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart introduces Cursor as a fork of Visual Studio Code and explains the concept of an IDE to AJ, who has zero prior experience. They talk about the complexity of coding and the importance of developer curiosity.05:00 – They walk through cloning a GitHub repository using the git clone command. Stewart highlights that AJ won't break anything and introduces the idea of a local playground for exploration.10:00 – Stewart explains Git vs GitHub, the purpose of version control, and how to use the terminal for navigation. They begin setting up the project in Cursor using the terminal rather than GUI options.15:00 – They realize only a README was cloned, leading to a discussion about branches—specifically the difference between main and development branches—and how to clone the right one.20:00 – Using git fetch, they get access to the development branch. Stewart explains how to disconnect from Git safely to avoid pushing changes.25:00 – AJ and Stewart begin exploring Cursor's AI features, including the chat interface. Stewart encourages AJ to start asking natural-language questions about the app structure.30:00 – Stewart demonstrates how to ask for a dependency analysis and create mermaid diagrams for visualizing how app modules are connected.35:00 – They begin identifying specific UI components, including finding and editing the home screen title. AJ uploads a screenshot to use as reference in Cursor.40:00 – They successfully trace the UI text to an index.tsx file and discuss the layout's dependency structure. AJ learns how to use search and command-F effectively.45:00 – They begin troubleshooting issues with Claude's GitHub integration, exploring Claude MCP servers and configuration files to fix broken tools.50:00 – Stewart guides AJ through using npm to install missing packages, explains what Node Package Manager is, and reflects on the interconnected nature of modern development.55:00 – Final troubleshooting steps and next steps. Stewart suggests bringing in Phil for deeper debugging. AJ reflects on how empowered he now feels navigating the codebase.Key InsightsYou don't need to be a developer to understand your app's codebase: AJ Beckner starts the session with zero familiarity with IDEs, but through Stewart's guidance, he begins navigating Cursor and GitHub confidently. The key idea is that non-technical founders can develop real intuition about their code—enough to communicate better with developers, find what they need, and build trust with the systems behind their product.Cursor makes AI-native development accessible to beginners: One of the biggest unlocks in this episode is seeing how Cursor, a VS Code fork with AI baked in, can answer questions about your codebase in plain English. By cloning the GitHub repo and indexing it, AJ is able to ask, “Where do I change this text in the app?” and get direct, actionable guidance. Stewart points out that this shifts the role of a founder from passively waiting on answers to actively exploring and editing.Version control doesn't have to be scary—with the right framing: Git and GitHub come across as overwhelming to many non-engineers, but Stewart breaks it down simply: Git is the local system that helps keep changes organized and non-destructive, and GitHub is the cloud-based sharing tool layered on top. Together, they allow safe experimentation, like cloning a development branch and disconnecting it from the main repo to create a playground environment.Branching strategies reflect how work gets done behind the scenes: The episode includes a moment of discovery: AJ cloned the main branch and only got a README. Stewart explains that the real work often lives in a “development” branch, while “main” is kept stable for production. Understanding this distinction helps AJ (and listeners) know where to look when trying to understand how features are actually being built and tested.Command line basics give you superpowers: Rather than relying solely on visual tools, Stewart introduces AJ to the terminal—explaining simple commands like cd, git clone, and git fetch—and emphasizes that the terminal has been the backbone of developer work for decades. It's empowering to learn that you can use just a few lines of text to download and explore an entire app.Modern coding is less about code and more about managing complexity: A recurring theme in the conversation is the sheer number of dependencies, frameworks, and configuration files that make up any modern app. Stewart compares this to a reflection of modern life—interconnected and layered. Understanding this complexity (rather than being defeated by it) becomes a mindset that AJ embraces as part of becoming technically fluent.AI will keep lowering the bar to entry, but learning fundamentals still matters: Stewart shares how internal OpenAI coding models went from being some of the worst performers two years ago to now ranking among the top 50 in the world. While this progress promises an easier future for non-devs, Stewart emphasizes the value of understanding what's happening under the hood. Tools like Claude and Cursor are incredibly powerful, but knowing what they're doing—and when to be skeptical—is still key.

When the universe branches, we branch with it.Those branches don't remain forever apart. They come back together.So we, as conscious observers, are rescued from splitting into an immense number ever-so-slightly different versions of ourselves.When the branches of the universe – and the versions of ourselves – come back together, we don't worry that the many paths we took to get there are ever-so-slightly different.We equivalence all those different paths.

From Dust is a 24-minute VR Opera by composer Michel van der Aa that is premiering this week at the Rotterdam Immersive Tech Week, and I had a chance to get a sneak peak at the end of my trip covering IDFA DocLab in Amsterdam. The emotional core of From Dust is the top-notch composition from van der Aa and brilliant musical performance by Sjaella. It was a really powerful and moving immersive journey that seamlessly integrated my GenAI prompts creating a personalized experience. I can highly recommend checking it out to see where immersive music experiences are headed here in the future. The throughput of this piece is only 3-4 people per hour, and so it may be hard to be able to see it once they start touring it around Europe to different musical festivals. van der Aa told me that this is the lease commercial project that he's had a chance to ever work on, and acknowledges that this is a piece of subsidized art. There have been a lot of broader discussions happening within the XR industry about the sustainability of these types of location-based experiences, and the need for creators to understand some of the more pragmatic financial constraints for exhibition taking into consideration earlier in the production process. I'm in the process of finishing up the public report from the Think Tank at Venice Immersive this year on this very issue, and the MIT Open Documentary Lab is also actively starting to study these types of distribution questions as well at the R&D Summit at IDFA DocLab this year. But at the same time, it's also great to see artists who are able to get this type of work funded who are willing to push the virtual reality medium to the limits of creative expression despite some of the financial impracticalities of exhibition. Especially as it may drive the adaptation of this type of work into a format like the Apple Vision Pro or PCVR where it can be within a form factor that is a lot more scalable, even if there are compromises on fidelity or on the GenAI elements using the open source LLM of Flux that can not be distributed Steam due to Valve's restrictions on AI integrations within games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig9VqdLW9X0 I had a chance to catch up with van der Aa last week in order to get more context on his journey and process on creating the piece, as well as get some elaboration on the degree on some of the branching mechanics. There are some questions that they ask during the onboarding process that categorize the user's Big Five Personality characteristics, and then they are creating some invisible branching of my experience that was completely imperceptible to me. van der Aa told me that about 75% of the musical experience is the same for everyone, but that there are some explicit and implicit branching that is happening musically, but also a bit more visually as they are integrating my GenAI prompts in 4-5 different places throughout the experience. It's certainly an innovative and ambitious piece that has some GenAI parallels to Tulpamancer from Venice 2023, but one that shows the potential of combining musical composition with these types of immersive adventures that are able to tell a much richer story when combined.

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Andrew L. Hipp, the Director of the Herbarium and Senior Scientist in Plant Systematics at The Morton Arboretum. With a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Hipp got into plant work as a way to work outdoors. Now, more than 20 years later, he has a lab that focuses on various aspects of plant biodiversity – with a strong focus on phylogenetics. Using molecular systematics, genomics, community ecology, and herbarium study, the Arboretum's Hipp Lab's current research, which includes oaks, sedges, and the use of phylogenetic and trait diversity, is not just theoretical. It is informing practical questions in ecological restoration and community ecology, making a tangible impact on the world we live in… Listen in to find out: The history of oak tree development and diversity. How oaks are most typically used. Where evolutionary history and ecology intersect. A common misconception about tree roots.

Send us a textWhat's the second biggest branch network in US financial services?Guess Wells Fargo and you're wrong. It has 5600 branches which makes it the nation's leader.But the CO-OP Shared Branching network for credit unions has 5444 branches which puts it in second place.Chase is third with 4700.Who knew?I have thought very little about shared branching in the years I have covered credit unions and I have never done a podcast about it.So when an email showed up in my box offering Patricia Daley, director of marketing at Ocean Financial Federal Credit Union, as an expert guest to discuss shared branching I had to take her up on this.Shared branching is a significant credit union advantage but it is not well known. Certainly not by members.CO-OP says about half of US credit union members have access to shared branching.Why isn't a brighter light shined on it?In this discussion we also take a brief detour into another topic I've never explored before - Catholic credit unions because that's what Ocean Financial is.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

One of the most common questions we ask of our faith is, “What is Christianity's relationship with other religions?” What are we to do with the passage from John 14, in which Jesus declares that he is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father but through him? In an age of religious pluralism and religious intolerance (even violence), how can we be charitable and loving toward people of different faiths, while still maintaining the core of our Christian convictions? HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsQuestions for Reflection: 1. What is your experience with people of different faiths?2. In what ways are you using your gifts to cross barriers and build connections/relationships with those whose beliefs are different from yours?3. What is one thing you could do to start a dialog with someone who practices a different faith?

John Wesley's famous sermon “Catholic Spirit” provides guidance on how Christians of different perspectives and traditions can find common ground, just as Jehu and Jehonadab joined hands in the passage in 2 Kings. Despite some significant differences among Protestant denominations, we hold much more in common, and we are called to forge a dynamic and united witness to the good news of Jesus Christ in the world.

What similarities among denominations do you find most meaningful?3. What is best about being United Methodist to you?
Branching off from last week's episode, we discuss weed management and some key in-the-field observations. Mitch mentioned that there are three common "modes of action" to control weeds including mechanical (tillage, hand pulling), chemical (herbicide), and biological (plant competition). Is it possible to manage weeds with only one? This week's guest on the Pennsylvania Woodsman is Troy Dietterich who shares some interesting observations from his personal hunting property. Troy and his wife prefer to limit the use of pesticides on their property. This is something anyone can do successfully if they stay dedicated and work hard towards. That's not to say it doesn't come a little more difficult and with a greater learning curve. Troy has used a multitude of seed blends and management styles on his food plots; some successful and some not. We dive into what worked, what didn't, and what key observations were made in order to make better decisions moving forward. This episode is a great example of just because someone says you should do something a certain way (this includes recommendations from Mitch!), doesn't mean you can't modify tactics to better serve your property and personal goals!

Subscriber-only episodeIn this final episode of this four-part series featuring the beautiful book "The Mother Tree", Valerie and guest author Kathryn Knight Sonntag conclude their conversation linking the symbolism of the tree to the balance and unity found when femininity and masculinity are allowed to occupy collaborative wholeness. This episode culminates with an examination of the branches of a tree as spaces of dynamic growth, revelation, and transformation, emphasizing that heaven can be found on earth as we each see ourselves as capable of connecting with the divine through the wisdom found in our roots and the courage found in our unfolding life's experiences. This conversation is not only a deep dive into spiritual symbolism but also a call for spiritual and psychological wholeness within our Latter-day Saint community, which suffers on many levels from the absence of an embrace of the feminine divine.
