What to do for the 400th episode??!
- Do a SPICY HACKING EPISODE. This is where I work on code while eating very spicy food on a regular interval (10 minutes per wing or something)
- We can examine some video game source code
- We could try to fix a Thunderbird bug
- We could try to fix the oldest possible Firefox bug during the episode (so find a really old bug, try to fix it in a one-shot)
- Write a simple add-on to do… something
- Try to do something with AI? How would we feel about that?
  - We could write a tool that tries to pipe the transcript of past episodes into an LLM to produce video title suggestions.
  - Revive Adso, and attempt to hand-roll our own captions using newer models
- Try to write… something in Rust?… I’ve done this before, but we could try again. Try to port a JS module to Rust for use with application-services.
