The Beer Driven Devs

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.

A reflective end-of-year conversation about decency, responsibility, and the small choices that quietly shape our workplaces and communities.

The Beer Driven Devs attended ADAConf again, this time with Matt presenting. In this episode Liam and Matt reflect on what they learned about change at this year's conference.

Matt and Liam unpack the stubborn stereotype of the socially inept specialist, how it still shapes expectations today, and why great leadership has nothing to do with whether you can code — and everything to do with how much you care.

This week Matt introduces Cabinet — a lightweight, encrypted offline data store for .NET apps — and shares the story, design decisions, and trade-offs behind it.
