608% ROI. 4.2 days down to 6.8 hours. One small manufacturing team. No groundbreaking technology. Richard brings the case study that answers the question most operators are afraid to ask.

The show opens in unexpected territory — AI in churches, schools, and one particularly impressive letterbox-drop iPad app built by an assistant minister. The tools are already working in places nobody's writing think-pieces about yet.

There's also a harder thread: AI is slowly reshaping the language you use and the frameworks you reach for. Matt calls it cognitive security. Worth knowing which frog you are before the water gets warm.

Dave closes on the monitoring story from last week — Sentry caught a live Stripe misconfiguration inside 24 hours. Matt ends the episode with the line that reframes vibe coding in one breath.
