Something to be cheerful about: @therubypassport.com and the sheriff office! Credit to @thehale.dev ❤️🥹

An image showing a collection of playful, mock "Wanted" and "Have You Seen This Dog?" posters pinned to a dark bulletin board. The posters feature humorous text and drawings, including a "Wanted" poster for answering a beginner question patiently and another for a "big-ish reward" with a smiley face. The central poster shows a photo of a fluffy brown dog with text asking to let "Rosa know you saw her dog."

.@dhh wrote 150,000 lines of code last month, mostly Rust. Number of Ruby Passport stamps that earned him: zero. The embassy stays open all day if he wants to come and explain himself.

One thing is for sure: In the winter, our heating bill should be a bit lower, because we now have these powerful computers running coding agents all the time.

It's still not easy to get used to 200-line PRs for things that are functionally 3 lines. LLMs add inline comments, tests, and sometimes docs supporting the change. I know I can steer them. I know it's for our own good. It's just a change. How do you cope with that?

Today I wanted to use Codex agent from Linear. I can’t. I assign it an issue, and it tells me I need to set up an environment. So I go looking for how—and why that isn’t automatically set up for me. I end up having to Google it or ask a different app, because it won’t tell me.

Adrian Marin @adrianthedev.com · 10/08/2026

One thing we had to acclimate ourselves to at @avohq.io with the new LLM-powered engineering methods was that our PRs would be much thicker, with more lines of code. LLMs (or at least our setup) document things inline much more than we did. Also, the tests are much more detailed.

Adrian Marin @adrianthedev.com · 23/07/2026

If anybody tells you that software development isn't changing, there is something wrong with them. I just prompted an LLM this 🫣

Using the vibe-coding-way of doing things on pre-LLM projects is really difficult. Not in the sense of using LLMs in coding, but in the sense of "code doesn't matter anymore" and "if it works and the tests pass, then it's all good". I can't do that on those projects.

Next level 💩 Selling prompts for you to build your own version of something. They vibecoded it, probably ran a hundred other prompts to make sure it works nicely and cover edge-cases, then sell someone the prompt, so they get to finish and maintain that piece of software 🫠

In Chrome go to `chrome://flags/#devtools-project-settings` and disable `DevTools Project Settings`. This will make Chrome stop accessing `/.well-known` paths and pollute your console output 😌
