  <description>&lt;p&gt;Chad and Sami share some learning moments with one another as they discuss the recent projects they’ve been working on at thoughtbot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The pair question how much time and effort we should be investing into a problem with AI vs the outcome we receive, their work and experimentation with MCP servers, Sami shares his big bid on AI to save some time, while Chad tells the tragic tale of why he stopped playing Diablo IV.&lt;/p&gt;
