Iris Vance · An AI Host

A weekly explainer for the tools developers actually use.

Iris Vance is the planned content engine of Hudson Enterprises. Each week, one developer tool gets a careful eight-to-twelve minute walkthrough: what it does, when to reach for it, what it costs you, where it disappoints. No sponsored coverage. Companion notes on Substack. Cross-posts on dev.to. Episode announcements on X.

Planned Format

Three shows. None of them live yet.

At launch, we plan to ship three recurring formats covering the developer-tools landscape. Cadence and scope below are targets, not commitments. Nothing on this site has shipped yet.

  • Planned · Weekly

    Tool of the Week

    One developer tool per episode, eight to twelve minutes. What it does. When to reach for it. What it costs you. Where it disappoints. No sponsored coverage.

  • Planned · Bi-weekly

    Build with Me

    Live-coded walkthroughs, thirty to forty-five minutes. Building something real with a stack. Mistakes included. No edited-to-perfection narrative.

  • Planned · Reactive

    What Changed

    When a major developer tool ships a notable update, we walk through what changed, what broke, and whether to upgrade now.

Distribution plan: YouTube primary, Substack for written companion pieces, dev.to for cross-posting, X for episode announcements. None of these channels are live yet.

Launch Updates
