TW124 – Smart Glasses, Perkins Braillers, and Vibe Coding

In this episode of Technically Working, Michael and Damashe cover a mix of retro tech, cutting-edge wearables, and coding experiments:

• Perkins Brailler Talk – Michael’s newly repaired Perkins returns home, and the guys reminisce about fixing braillers, paper jams, and carrying them through school hallways.
• Smart Glasses Showdown – A deep dive into Solos, Ally, Envision, Meta Ray-Bans, and even AGIGA. They discuss features, battery life, pricing, accessibility concerns, and why customization matters for blind users.
• Prompt Injection & AI in Glasses – Michael raises questions about prompt customization, injection risks, and the possibilities of tailoring AI outputs in wearable tech.
• Home Networking & Automation – Damashe’s new Ubiquiti gear sparks talk about segmenting networks, smart homes, and moving toward Home Assistant.
• Builder Saga – Michael shares progress (and setbacks) with rebuilding his scheduling tool, working through PRDs, Supabase, and GitHub remote agent experiments.
• Vibe Coding & Rubber Duck Debugging – They unpack what “vibe coding” really means, why talking through problems often reveals solutions, and how collaboration (or even a rubber duck) helps.
• Community Feedback – Listeners weigh in on show length preferences and using BlindShell Classic to tune in.

As always, they wrap with laughs, real-world coding tips, and appreciation for listeners supporting the show.
