Heather and Derek both end up confessing more than they planned to. Derek admits he has two and a half months of bot use behind him and will only use it more from here. Heather admits she runs two terminals at once so she never runs out of AI credits. They cover the difference between how Derek uses AI for development and how Heather uses it for marketing and research, including why hallucinations still trip her up more than they do him. Derek explains skills in Claude Code for the first time in a way that actually makes sense for non-developers. The episode also covers what Derek saw happening at Bitcoin Takeover in Austin, where people from the Soapbox ecosystem were setting up OpenClaw on donated laptops for activists who needed it. Then the conversation shifts to Primal 3.0, which launched this week with a new Spark wallet, polls, and a gift chooser, and how it compares to Ditto 2.0. Derek has opinions. He also has a Ditto Deck he built two weeks ago that has not been merged yet and would like their boss, Alex, to know that.
