Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026Maybe we're heading toward a layer above the code too. Maybe its output is a page of text explaining your app's architecture instead of the code, or the tests passing, or something none of us have named yet. If reading the code stopped being the answer, what would you trust instead? 000
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026I don't know yet. But I keep seeing a parallel to when we started using frameworks and bundlers. What you actually shipped wasn't something you could read either, and you trusted a programmatic layer sitting on top of it. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026If you took out reading the code line by line, could we still ship safely and at high quality? What's left to give you the right signals? Your tests? AI code review? Something else? 110
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026Last week I shared a slide from a meetup: imagine a world without test automation. This week I think people are imagining a world without reading the code. So let's run it. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026Reading is a means to an end, not the end itself. The goal was never to read every line, it's to trust what you ship, and reading is just one way to get there. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 08/07/2026There's a big debate on Twitter right now about whether you should read the code you ship. I think it's the wrong question to ask. 100

Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 11/03/2026mf chill, they are MY kids and I’m their dad. They’re fed, they’re ready to school, they cleaned their rooms and they’re having fun. I’m having great time with them and they’re having a great time with me. Seriously give dads some credit ffs. 050
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 11/03/2026My wife went on a vacation and I’ve been at home with my 4 kids. Whenever I met someone in school or daycare, they felt like they have to check in on me: "How are you handling things?" "Oh, are you doing okay?" "Did you get a list from your wife on what to do?" 110
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 10/02/2026actually none of what is happening in browser is added to the context window. recordings are saved locally on disk and processed in cloud after upload. replay mcp then fetches the debugging data, so the whole flow is pretty lean. I am indeed putting some demos and examples to back this up 030

Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 22/04/2025People from marketing, sales, customer success and other will build their own utilities that they would never be able to get because developers were too busy and their time was too expensive. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 22/04/2025And one of the most groundbreaking things about this is that you can now spend LESS TIME AND EFFORT building your own app than you would trying to do a research of tools - where the best one can fill about 90% of your needs. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 22/04/2025I think this is at the core of the appeal: Customizability If you have a problem that is simple (but painful) enough, you can build your own solution today with a relatively small effort. 100
Filip Hric @filiphric.com · 22/04/2025So many people flocked to creating their own apps using A.I. I spent last couple of weeks scouting through reddit and I was able to see some amazing creations by non-developers. So many of them start with: "I didn’t like XYZ, so I built my own" 100
