Wes and Scott talk about making AI coding more reliable using deterministic tools like fallow, knip, ESLint, StyleLint, and Sentry. They cover code quality analysis, linting strategies, headless browsers, task workflows, and how to enforce better patterns so AI stops guessing and starts producing maintainable, predictable code.
