Small Bites
Short takes on building well in the age of AI.
Generate With Taste
With AI, everyone thinks they can just generate their way to a product. Generate the image, the logo, the icon, the code. The cost of making something dropped to nearly zero.
On RigorEyeball It
Everyone is using AI now. Here's the piece most people skip.
On SecurityAudit It Again
I opened an endpoint on purpose. Temporary, to get past something, and I'd close it right after. Then the work moved on and I forgot it was there.
On ProofWatch It Fail First
A lot of people don't even write tests anymore. They just vibe-code it and hope it holds. The ones who do usually stop one step too early.
On MigrationsKeep the Dump
For years the fight was code first or database first. People asked which camp you were in like it was a personality trait.
