While trying to solve a coding problem this week, Matt found himself buried in a collection of solutions offered by ChatGPT and Google search results. Some of the solutions were completely new to him and so he got to thinking about how "safe" it would be to implement them. Not from a security perspective, as there wasn't any private data involved in this particular case, but his concern was more for the page UX itself. How efficient were the solutions he was about to implement, would it slow the web page down? Were these new topics even being used in the correct context and being implemented appropriately? In this episode, Matt and Mike discussed how to think through problems like this in terms of project architecture, website performance, and troubleshooting/research time spent.

While working on a client project, Matt found himself inundated by Google search results and ChatGPT suggestions on how to expand Webflow beyond its traditional means. This research led him down so many pathways that he eventually found himself learning about methods that he had never seen before and that got him worried about the answers to a few questions:
To answer these questions, Matt conducted a "blind episode interview" with Mike - meaning Mike had no knowledge of the topic before being asked by Matt right on the spot. By doing this, Matt hoped to gain the knowledge that Mike would also think up on the spot if he were put into the same coding situation.
