About the show

Building
under
pressure

Taylor MacDonald and Sean C. Davis are documenting a real experiment: can you replace the content management layer with agents, natural language, and a thin data model without pretending the hard parts disappear?

Season 1, Delete Your CMS, takes aim at the most expensive and least-loved layer of the web stack. The premise is simple: code between episodes, record what changed, and end every conversation with the next thing to build.
