Justin Duke, who runs Buttondown, calls himself a "radical LLM centrist." About two-thirds of Buttondown's merged code comes from LLMs, but he still pushes back on the most extreme software factory takes. He and Matt talk about why most "factories" are only tuned for throughput and why so much agent work is snacking: low effort and low value. They also get into the rise of fake third-party services, and whether Kanban is a warning about borrowing manufacturing ideas without the principles behind them. Plus: a huge pile of regexes, CI that rejects PRs without screenshots, and why Buttondown's Storybook has quietly become its staging server.Mentioned in this episodeSnacks are cheaper and tastier than ever: Justin's post on how LLMs make low-effort, low-value work very tempting. You get the rush of 15 merged PRs and no effect on customers. It pairs well with his Be careful what you make easier.PlanetScale's self-improving database: Both teams feed PlanetScale's Insights and schema recommendations to agents that open PRs, some of which merge automatically. It's close to a free lunch, though Justin argues it's also where the factory metaphor breaks, since real factories don't improve themselves.Linear Customer Requests: Justin's favorite little-used Linear feature. You link issues to customers along with their revenue, so "who's asking for this, and does it change whether they churn?" gets answered before an agent starts on the backlog.Plain: Buttondown's support tool. Instead of sending every thread to an LLM classifier the way Plain would like, they use a "staggeringly terrifying" pile of regexes that's easy to improve over time. Matt's team went the same way, with LLMs writing the regex instead of being the classifier.StrongDM's Digital Twin Universe: This is the software factory's take on the manufacturing "digital twin." StrongDM had agents build clones of Okta, Jira and Slack from their public API docs so they could run thousands of test scenarios an hour.Miniflare vs. stripe-mock: What matters most in a fake service is keeping state. Cloudflare's local simulator remembers what you did. With Stripe's mock, if you create a customer and then list customers, you get an empty list.Litmus / Email on Acid: Testing email rendering still means somebody keeping a headless Windows XP box running. Now it's much cheaper to build that kind of internal tool yourself.Storybook + Buttondown's demo site: Buttondown's "storybook maximalist" setup has stories for every page, component and transactional email, all snapshot tested. The public demo site with realistic data covers everything else, so they barely use their old staging server.Rails forensics skill for CVE-2026-66066: After the Active Storage image-upload RCE, known as KindaRails2Shell, 37signals released agent skills that check whether you were vulnerable and whether you were actually exploited. A small team would never have done that kind of investigation before.The productivity paradox: Justin asks why GDP hasn't grown with technology. His test for LLMs is what they let you do that your people and budget couldn't do three years ago.Thank you to this season's sponsor Laravel Cloud.

So we come to the end of Judges, an era of turmoil and apostasy, but still marked by God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. And so the story ends in a sort of raw hopefulness.We might sometimes feel like we live in a similar time of chaos and decline, but we have so much more to go on. We have thousands of years more evidence of God's faithfulness (in the face of human sin and corruption), and we have Christ our King sitting on His throne forever. So even when foolish men seek to do what is right in their own eyes, they cannot get away from His grace.The Text: “Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, there shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife…” (Judges 21:1-25)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

God wants His children to know how He made a mockery of the Egyptians, so they will know He is the Lord and tell their children and grandchildren. In this message from Exodus 10:1-20, the plague of locusts is not only an act of judgment on Egypt—it is a story God wants His people to remember and retell. Yahweh hardens Pharaoh's heart so that His signs may be performed and His glory displayed, making a mockery of Egypt's power and gods. The purpose is clear: that Israel would know the Lord and pass the knowledge of His mighty acts to the next generations. This text calls us to the same responsibility—remembering God's power in judgment and redemption, and faithfully teaching it to our children and grandchildren so that they too may know that He is the Lord.

What happens when Jesus interrupts the story we thought we were writing? Through Paul's own story, we see that an encounter with Jesus doesn't just change what we believe; it changes who we are, what we see, and what we live for. Scripture Referenced: Acts 26:12-18

Ken lays out why the three-week LeBron decision saga has him ready to move on, arguing this isn't 2014 and the Cavs are still a good team with or without him. He and Anthony debate whether fans should temper championship expectations given LeBron's age, and Ken pushes back on criticism that he doesn't care by pointing out he's just tired of nothing new being said. The two also dig into the Heat's leaked press conference link, guessing it's likely a staffer's mistake rather than a real signal, and pivot to fresher storylines like the Browns' quarterback battle.

The first full trailer for Shrek 5 finally arrived, and this episode breaks down everything it shows one year out from release. We cover the new footage, the storybook opening that pays homage to original author William Steig, and our best look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey. The trailer takes the whole Shrek family, now with adult kids in tow, to a new and noticeably rainier corner of the map that feels less friendly than the Far Far Away fans know. The standout gag is a creepy snowman who reads a lot like a parody of Olaf, and it sets the tone for a movie that looks ready to have a lot of fun.We run through the returning trio of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, plus the new generation joining the cast: Zendaya as daughter Felicia, with Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as her triplet brothers Fergus and Farkle, the same babies fans met in Shrek Forever After. There is also good news behind the camera, with franchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon back in the director chairs. From there it gets personal with some millennial nostalgia, a Toys R Us Shrek 2 stocking story, and an appreciation for one of the all-time great DVD menus.Timestamps0:00 First real trailer for Shrek 5 and our best look at the redesign0:08 Storybook opening and the homage to author William Steig0:17 The Shrek family heads to a new, rainier location0:25 The Olaf-style snowman and the movie's sense of fun0:33 Returning cast and the new generation joining0:52 Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon back in the director chairs1:02 Release date, the 26 year gap, and franchise nostalgia1:21 DVD menu appreciation and signing offKey TakeawaysThe first full Shrek 5 trailer is here, releasing one year ahead of the June 30, 2027 launchIt opens on a storybook that pays homage to original Shrek author William SteigThis is the clearest look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey, and the new look plays better in motionThe family travels to a new location that looks rainier and less welcoming than Far Far AwayThe standout moment is a creepy snowman in the style of OlafMike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz all returnZendaya voices daughter Felicia, with Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as triplet brothers Fergus and Farkle, first seen as babies in Shrek Forever AfterFranchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon are directingShrek 5 arrives 26 years after the original 2001 filmMemorable Quotes"It's our best look yet at what Shrek and Donkey look like after they're a bit of a redesign.""The best bit by far is coming across a snowman, very much like Olaf.""They're gonna have a lot of fun with this one.""If you watched that first movie, how those knees feeling?"Call to ActionIf you enjoyed the breakdown, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines so you never miss an episode.

Lego City Storybook Collection: 3, 2, 1 Liftoff! by Sonia Sander. Enjoy!
This one was a bit distracting and sentimental. I get what Dad is saying about life passing you by. So many times we get busy with life that the years race by fast. But it's nice to know they are racing by because you're enjoying things and you hardly notice what's out in front. (Hey, it could be worse) LOL... Anyways, stories and such and memories and 90 minutes gone! LOL
How do you build a wedding photography business that actually lasts?How do you create wedding albums couples will treasure for generations instead of galleries that disappear into cloud storage and forgotten hard drives?And how do you stop reacting to chaos in your business long enough to actually build something intentional?This week on the PHOTOCO Podcast, we sat down with Nathan Desh for one of the most practical and perspective-shifting conversations we've had in a long time.We talked about wedding photography storytelling, album design, second shooting, business systems, long-term thinking, creativity, legacy, client experience, and why photographers need to stop trying to skip straight to chapter 10.Nathan shares how he went from shooting weddings for a few hundred dollars while working as an electrician… to photographing more than 850 weddings… to building platforms like Storybook and Shoot With Me that are helping photographers all over the industry.But honestly… this episode became about way more than photography.This conversation is really about building a meaningful life and business with intentionality.We unpack:• How to build a photography business with long-term vision• Why wedding albums still matter in 2026• How to become a better wedding storyteller• The biggest mistakes photographers make with second shooting• Why most photographers struggle to create consistent leads• How to work backwards from your goals instead of living reactively• Why photographers need to think beyond Instagram trends• How to create a wedding photography experience couples actually remember• The difference between “pretty photos” and meaningful images• Why solving problems is one of the most important skills in businessNathan also shares incredible insight into how couples actually experience their wedding photos over time… and why the images photographers love most are often NOT the images that matter most to clients years later.If you're a wedding photographer trying to:book more weddingsbuild a stronger photography brandimprove your client experiencecreate better wedding albumsbecome a better second shooterbuild systems that scalethink more strategically about your photography businessor simply create work that actually means something……this episode is for you.KEY MOMENTS:00:00 Nathan's unexpected journey into wedding photography08:12 Learning creativity through experimentation15:47 Why albums completely change the way you shoot weddings24:31 The problem with modern wedding photography trends31:04 How to work backwards from long-term goals42:26 Building better client experiences through storytelling51:08 Why second shooting is broken for most photographers58:44 The creation of Shoot With Me1:06:19 Why problem solvers win in business and lifeQUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:“You have to start with the end outcome and work backward from there.”“The photos couples value most are usually different than the photos photographers think are the coolest.”“I would rather fail trying than regret never taking action.”“The goal isn't just beautiful images.

May the FOURTH appearance be a great one having Sofia Kirkman back on the show and it indeed was!!! With the opening of her NEW VENUE, The Storybook Boutique, there's LOTS to be excited for!! However...it wasn't all fairy tale dreams leading up to it. There was a bit of a shakeup within Sofia's staff.

Send us Fan Mail What happens when a breast cancer surgeon decides that the most powerful thing she can do for young patients isn't in the operating room, it's on the page? This episode is for anyone who's been carrying a creative idea for years and keeps finding reasons not to start. Dr. Rachel Wellner, board-certified surgeon and creator of the Doctoroo children's book series, shares what it truly looks like to build something meaningful from scratch while navigating self-doubt, a crowded market, and the very real bumps of entrepreneurship. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of how to move from idea to action, and why building a brand from the heart matters more than chasing a number. About the Guest: Dr. Rachel Wellner is a board-certified general surgeon and breast oncology surgeon with over two decades of experience. She is the creator of the Doctoroo children's book series, designed to help young children understand health through adventure and mystery. She is also the founder of a diagnostic biotech company working on cancer detection technology. Key Takeaways: Follow passion first, profit second. Dr. Wellner's advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is direct: don't build something because you think it will make money. Build it because it matters to you. That's what makes the hard days survivable. Children are more capable of understanding health than we give them credit for. When health education is framed as adventure and mystery, kids engage, retain, and stop being afraid. A children's book can be more than a book. From series, to TV, to games, to merchandise, a strong creative idea has the potential to become an entire brand ecosystem, but only if you protect your rights early. The first version doesn't have to be perfect. Dr. Wellner revised her very first book years later. Starting imperfectly is still starting. Practice is the actual secret. Whether it's surgery, music, or writing, the only way to get good is to keep showing up. Mastery is earned, not arrived at. Fear of a medical setting is real, and it starts young. Stories that normalize health experiences help children face doctor visits, vaccinations, and procedures with curiosity rather than dread.
