  • This episode is supported by Jira by Atlassian.

  • Your AI agent can write code in seconds,

  • but if it doesn't know what you're trying to solve and why, those are simply seconds wasted.

  • Jira provides the context agents need to do the right work the first time.

  • Try it free at jira.dev.

  • That's J-I-R-A dot D-E-V.

  • Casey, good morning.

  • How are you?

  • Well, Kevin, this morning I'm feeling very Dream Beans-pilled.

  • Are you familiar with Dream Beans?

  • I am.

  • I think you told me about it.

  • So Dream Beans is an experimental app from Google, and here's what it does.

  • It reads all of your emails, and then it tries to send you a daily set of inspirations

  • based on the sort of person you could be if you didn't have a job and were interested

  • in the absolutely insane things that Dream Beans thinks that you might be interested in.

  • So if you go into our Slack here, I put some of our ideas from today.

  • I thought of this today was that it, for the first time, made a suggestion about the two of us.

  • So Drain Beans also plugs into your Google Photos.

  • And the reason I keep opening it is it makes these illustrations of you and your friends, like people in your life.
