SELLEST OSAST
debug.log is back. After a year and a half off the air, the Webmaster Backup Alliance’s podcast returns, and this time Claude did the editing: we recorded our November 4 Zoom call, and Claude cut 76 minutes down to the best 23. David shows off Visiting Side, the game-day guide he’s building with a new business partner. We go around the room on “what’s your agent working on right now?” Nic launched Manie Musicale almost entirely by agent and wonders where that leaves web developers. Martin joins from Austria (not Australia). Andy has a theory about mini data centers in every UK home. We compare token resets, argue about who still reads their code, tour Andy’s AI shed and Michael’s Mac Mini, and close with show and tell.
On the call: Michael Wender (host), Nic Scott, Gino Peterson, David Walker, Andy Wilkinson and Martin Holzer.

We recorded the whole Zoom call and handed it to Claude. It transcribed the call, proposed an edit, tightened the pauses, cropped each of us out of the Zoom gallery, and built the graphics, narration and music, with Michael reviewing every step. Have a question for the WBA? Get in touch.
