North Meets South Web Podcast

Michael and Jake are joined by David Hemphill to discuss David's macOS app Gent, a task runner built on the "Ralph loop" pattern for AI-powered coding workflows.The conversation covers how Gent takes a project requirements document (PRD), breaks it into small tasks that fit within a single context window, and runs them sequentially or in parallel using copy-on-write clones and Git worktrees.We discuss our own evolving workflows with Claude Code, including plan mode, the "Grill Me" skill for stress-testing plans, managing context windows, and the /rewind command.Show LinksDavid HemphillGentRalph loopConductorPolyscopeChief"Grill Me" skillMatt Pocock / AI HeroSoloThe Eternal Promise: A History of Attempts to Eliminate ProgrammersLaracon
