We Built Microsoft Teams in 23 Minutes (And You Can Use It) & GPT 5.4 Impressions - EP99.37

Episode notes

Join us on the STILL RELEVANT tour: Join Simtheory: Try our AI-built apps: Macrosoft Teams: teams.simtheoryapp.com (working video chat with up to 150 people) Trallo: trallo.simtheoryapp.com (full Trello clone, unlimited boards, completely free) TDIA Discord: Spotify Songs: So Chris, this week... we've been having way too much fun with the AI again. OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.4 and 5.4 Pro, and holy shit - we finally have a ball game. This might be the first OpenAI model that genuinely competes with Opus 4.6 for agentic work. But here's where it gets wild: we rebuilt Trello AND Microsoft Teams from scratch using single prompts. Not mockups. Fully deployed, working apps with authentication, video chat, the works. You can literally sign up and use them right now. Plus: We roast Gemini 3.1 (it's a disgrace for agentic workflows), break down the insane $30/$180 per million pricing on 5.4 Pro (who is this for??), and discuss why every $99/month SaaS tool might be about to die. Chris declares his programming skills "useless" and honestly... he might be right.
