Dead Internet Theory, vibe coding, and AI agents — Meeky and Matt unpack three internet-is-getting-weird trends and debate whether the web is being quietly taken over by bots, bad AI code, and agents that work autonomously.
Show Notes
Meeky and Matt ditch live audits and unpack three internet-is-getting-weird trends: the Dead Internet Theory, vibe coding vs. junior developers, and whether AI agents are productivity magic or a security nightmare. Over Bourbon Barrel-aged Cabernet and Busey Brews beer, they debate whether bots are inflating engagement and whether the future of websites is built for humans or agents.
🍺 Featured Drinks:
Meeky: Cabernet Sauvignon Ménage à trois (California)
Matt: Busey Brews Smash beer
💡 WHAT WE COVER:
✅ What the Dead Internet Theory actually means (and why bot traffic is no longer fringe)
✅ Why analytics are getting dirty as AI bots behave more like real browsers
✅ The reality of vibe coding vs actually engineering production-ready systems
✅ How AI accelerates the build phase but compounds tech debt in maintenance
✅ Whether junior developers are being quietly eliminated from the pipeline
📊 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Bot traffic is growing fast, and engagement metrics are becoming harder to trust
• Vibe coding can ship fast but every iteration can silently add technical debt
• Prompting AI does not equal engineering systems
• Junior developers are how senior engineers are created
