Edward Wong @arkangelofkaos.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There’s something oddly satisfying about insisting e2e tests are set up and getting unexpected boons from them, aside from obvious direct functional coverage. 1, they allow agents to see how the site looks (and does iterate on design) 2, they act as performance tests! (e2e timeouts = 🔥) 100

The best way to help students, users and developers who building with AI is to convert more of their "unknown unknowns" to "knowns unknowns".

Edward Wong @arkangelofkaos.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Great metaphor for working with agents: your brain is a sponge that gets ringed out every hour or so. Soaking in context, working with it and then offloading context has a cost for organic neural networks! 110
