[Description]
What happens when AI can decompile entire games and mash them together? Prime, Teej, Casey Muratori, and Trash discuss the decompilation revolution, game preservation, AI-generated code, copyright concerns, and whether game studios can protect their work. Plus, everyone pitches their dream video game mashups, from Pokémon to StarCraft.

[Description]
The Standup dives into the future of developer tools, from GitHub’s move deeper into Microsoft’s AI organization and the fight over LLM training on open-source code to TJ’s attempt to turn Neovim into a full GUI. Plus: vibe-coded games, Pokémon vending machine PvP, and Prime turns 40.

AI is changing how we write software, but what does that mean for programming languages and computer science education? The crew debates Python vs. C, whether language aesthetics still matter, what CS degrees should actually teach, and whether low-level knowledge will become even more valuable in the age of AI.
