Vibe Coding Will Die, nPlan CTO Warning, Woodchuck $3.75M Raise, Parsepec $20M Series A,

Construction companies are claiming they're "software companies" now - but this dangerous trend could destroy the industry.

In this episode of Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, Owen and Patric dive deep with Alan Mosca (CTO of nPlan) about the AI revolution that's both exciting and terrifying the construction world. Plus, we hear from Todd Thomas of Woodchuck AI about turning construction waste into profit, and Forest from Parspec Inc on their 20 million Series A raise.

Key topics discussed:

Why contractors thinking they can "vibe code" critical software is setting them up for disaster
The DocuSign problem: why you can't just prompt your way to enterprise security
The AI paradox that could kill coding platforms when they get too good
How Woodchuck AI is reducing waste costs by 30% while creating new revenue streams
Why GCs are "pressurizing a chamber that's already at incredible high pressure"
Travis Kalanick's physics breakthrough claims and what they reveal about AI hype
The real applications of AI that are actually working in construction

Key quote: "That is basically pressurizing a chamber that is already at incredible high pressure with very thin walls. Because GCs run on insanely thin margins with very little time to spare and everything feels like you got it done by a miracle most of the time." - Alan Mosca

This episode doesn't hold back on the hard truths about AI in construction. Listen now to understand what's really happening behind the hype.
