We heard you loud and clear, so we went ahead and built the git graph.

i haven't because i'm fastmail 4 lyfe, but it's probably pretty good in the specific ways that most 37signals stuff is

openstreetmap's hiking trail coverage is pretty decent, strava has been backing their updates into it for years because they use mapbox so that's where their map data comes from.

i bet 'alltrails' is the next thing to be rebuilt on atproto if it hasn't already

AI coding agents can now write and validate tests automatically.

↳ Generate unit and integration tests
↳ Identify edge cases from code paths
↳ Ensure changes don’t break behavior

Test coverage is becoming a default, not an afterthought.

sure, i guess my personal prejudice is that i love everything that isn't natural language for creation and despite the manager-employee dialog that vibecoding operates on

sure, i didn't mean to do a descartes, we have to affect the world, but i don't think that the mediums of guitar/painting/writing/etc are similar to the medium of llms

when beginners fail at painting or guitar, they sometimes blame the materials but mostly are aware that they need to become better. when people fail at vibecoding, they are just disappointed that the artificial intelligence product cannot translate their vague thoughts into concrete representation.

being alone with your thoughts and struggling to produce an output is kind of the polar opposite of trying to produce an output by begging an all-powerful god to do it.

aesthetically, if it matters, seeing vibecoding workflows firsthand, the struggle of creation takes the form of begging, whining, arguing, more like a supplicant than a creator. it looks and feels pathetic, and when it is paired with a disinterest in learning, i think it is

the arc from "popular software with the worst code quality i've ever seen" to "seeing that software in subway ads" is unstoppable recently
