About this listen

Season 2 is here — and we're opening with a question worth arguing about.

As AI-generated content floods every corner of the internet, something unexpected is happening: designers are picking up pencils again. Hand-drawn typography, film grain, analog textures — imperfection is becoming a hallmark of quality, not a flaw to fix. We dig into why the "human touch" is emerging as a genuine competitive advantage in 2026.

Then we're joined by web developer Chris Grau — a guy who somehow went from a biochemistry degree to personal training to 20+ years building on Webflow and WordPress. We cover the Webflow vs. WordPress debate (settle it once and for all), how AI code generators are actually playing out in real development work, and whether no-code tools will eventually make traditional developers obsolete.

Spoiler: he has opinions.
