1050 - Everyone Is Hacking Their TV

Wes, Scott, and CJ run through the week’s biggest web dev news: everyone’s hacking their TVs, VoidZero open-sourced its Void framework with Cloudflare deploys, OpenCode got hacked, and Anthropic built its own git replacement. Plus DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Cloudflare’s security audit skill, Krea 3, a local LLM speed tester, and Killswitch, an esoteric language designed to break coding agents.
