“Opus, Take The Wheel"

A diary on building at the frontier.

Welcome to Worktrees. This is a show about building at the frontier — incredible creators doing beautiful things with software, how everything is changing, how everything is super exciting and scary and cool and weird at the same time. And our place in that.

We’re Jack Bogdan (creator of Click) and Chris Messina (inventor of the hashtag), and this is where we figure things out loud.


This Week

In this episode we talk about what happens when the models get so good that you become the bottleneck. We dig into the foundations that let you actually leverage AI for native development, how to organize a massive codebase for agents, the insane list of features shipped in a few days, why Jack is building an automated CI/CD pipeline for content and docs, personalized release notes, and a brand new offline voice-controlled D&D experience called DM.MD.
