I’ve rediscovered plain old CGI as a great way for users to “vibe code” custom pages on our platform. [1] The scenario is we have our first party task lists and data viewers, but often users want to highly customize it. Say build a Kanban v

Yes I’m trusting exe.dev disks and persistence. For many apps the weird experimental version is all there is. Call it vibe coding or experiments or non-critical tools. These may not even have a GitHub repo. I trust local git and the exe.d

Congrats! My daily driver is Zed developing on SSH remote servers on exe.dev. It's crazy to think of all the dev tools I've churned through over the last 18 months but these two feel sticky. Zed has everything I need in a unified

Hug ops to everyone involved in these outages and trying to maintain uptime. But glad my team is staying nimble and has multi-model (Anthropic, Codex, Gemini), multi-modal (desktop, CLI/TUI, web) dev tooling. As our actual coding skill

I’ve haven’t had great experiences with Gemini for coding yet. I’m doing reasonably simple full stack Go apps. Tried Gemini-ClI, antigravity, Pi. The problems I’ve experienced are less adept at picking the right bash commands to build and t

Consider djot for the comparison list too. It seems like a well designed and thorough superset of markdown. https://djot.net/

And they decided to leave a token with destructive capabilities in the agents access, and decided to not have verified backups for their database. My team practices "no blame" retros, that blame the tools and processes, not the in

Thanks for this! I have a proliferation of small apps backed by SQLite. And most of these need a queue and scheduler. I home rolled some stuff for it but was always pining for the elegance of the Postgres solutions. Will give this a spin ve

Yeah I share the same uncertainty here. My understanding is personal and interactive use should be fine. I use Conductor all day every day and it wraps a subscription. Perhaps fully automated use is where the line is drawn. But I also suspe

Looks cool. I continue to love Markdown and always push it a bit further than Commonmark, with frontmatter, schemas, code fence metadata too. I've been enjoying https://djot.net/ as a superset of Markdown that is feels

I’ve had success with this general approach too. The best thing I’ve done so far is put GitHub behind an API proxy and reject pushes and pull requests that don’t meet a criteria, plus a descriptive error. I find it forgets to read or follow

This is very insightful thanks for sharing. I’ve been developing and working on dev tools for more than 15 years. I’ve never seen things evolve so rapidly. Experiment, have fun and get things done, but don’t get too sure or attached to your

The best thing you can do is help build and maintain high quality docs. Great docs help you, your agents, your team and your customers. If you’re confused and the agent can’t figure it out reliably how can anyone? Easier said than done of c

We are in the wild wild west. I’m looking for feedback, testing and possible security engineering contracts for the approach we are taking at Housecat.com. The agent accesses everything through a centralized connections proxy. No direct API

The industry is talking in circles here. All you need is "composability". UNIX solved this with files and pipes for data, and processes for compute. AI agents are solving this this with sub-agents for data, and "code executio

Thanks. Yes that’s a proper take. The OpenClaw stuff is awesome but it’s too raw for a lot of professionals and small teams. We’re trying to bring more guardrails to the concept and more of a Ruby on Rails philosophy to how it works.

Haven’t totally cracked the nut yet either but the patterns ive had the best luck with are… “Vibe” with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. Surprisingly good at making the first version functional. No build step is great for iteration speed. “Se

I love Markdown. My favorite Markdown creation was "GistDeck", a bookmarklet that turned a GitHub Gist of Markdown content into a slide show. So much easier to make and share than a PowerPoint deck. https://github.com&#
