Welcome back to Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks!  This is the sixth and final episode of Series 4, The Great Unknown. We stick with the vibe coding train, but take a quick side quest into hackathons and the early days of vibe coding before AI showed up.

This finale dives into the chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived world of hackathons and how they’ve evolved with AI-powered coding. Carl and John swap stories from past events, compare old-school maker culture with today’s AI-assisted workflows, and break down why hackathons are more inclusive than ever.

Episode 04-01: AI Took My Podcast Job

Welcome to what might just be the final episode of Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks – and no, not because we’re tired of talking tech. It’s because AI has officially taken over. That’s right, folks. As the title suggests, AI is just too good now. We, the humble human hosts, are no longer needed to flip the switches, ramble into microphones, or even pretend to know what we’re talking about. AI can do it all – research, scriptwriting, and yes, even turning dry documentation into binge-worthy podcast content. So, John and Carl thought, why not go out with a bang? This entire episode has been created by AI. Who knew it could be this good? Enjoy the show… or should I say, enjoy your new AI overlords. 🤖
