iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I find slop-comments annoying bcs the codebase doesn't require this information zooming out from code doesn't help: I noticed AI gets confused about outdated comments or spends tokens maintaining them seems like almost all advice we gave to new devs makes sense for AI

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 01/06/2026

You might notice a similar thing when you ask AI for some specific design style, let's say brutalism, and then it also makes the text on the page *about brutalism* just so chatty, can't stop itself

even the newest models perform so much HYPEMANNERY I ask to fix a bug, the agent leaves a "fixed a bug here, yay me" comment. there's just zero respect for the fourth wall, the conversation about the process leaks to the medium. and then we're all reading that REPEATEDLY.

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 01/06/2026

i'm kinda surprised I didn't find anything reliable, @⁠code-yeongyu/comment-checker from oh-my-opencode is nice, but it warns instead of modifying files i don't wanna tell the AI to remove the ad-libs, just delete them

u can also use it as a CLI outside of agents, on CI or during dev silence strip file⁠.rs silence strip src -r

we’ve been deciphering and crafting spells, learning math and physics, diving deep into insurmountable complexity I hope we can find joy in wielding multiple genies and demons, forcing them to do our bidding, defending from their attempts to snitch on us or play tricks on us

"vibecoding" feels like it's for idea-guys. people who wanted to build software, but didn't have the attention span for it but when you realize the clanker can snitch on you to the cops, introduce vulns or delete your prod db... it starts being fun, right?

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 27/09/2025

"if I wanted to become a manager, I'd do it already" is a pretty common take when talk with other engineers for many, including me initially, agents kinda sucked the joy out of programming i figured out how to rephrase it in my head so it doesn't feel so lame

HOWEVER my extended roleplaying games group is like 25 people and 5 devs, so it seems like every other group could whip up some UNSERIOUS software for their case

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

but vibe coding still requires some effort and patience and I'm not sure most people would really want that 2/2

we ain't at the "AI-made personal software" point of history yet Townie is great, Y.js is so foolproof u can have a json blob per entity u handle schema changes over time with runtime types (funnily, Claude removes Zod's validations, but not @arktype.io xD) 1/2

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

I should have probably copied the styles or use CSS layers, but bear-fit is so small that `!important` was good enough

100

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

i started it with val.town Townie and later ejected to #Y.js and #PartyKit bcs the AI started misbehaving and I wanted a multiplayer — couldn't get Townie to set up SSE used @sakofchit's sakofchit.github.io/system.css/ to avoid fixating on UI and so the users don't treat this too seriously

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

sometimes I just want a simple tool just use it and forget about it software not a product, not a B2B SaaS, but also not sb's magnum opus and part of the chosen toolset that defines you I hope bear-fit can be like that for you.

100

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

your favorite software is probably Good and Complex some other software you're using is Ass and Complex, like Jira and Zoom's frontend (backend and video quality is legit tho) but what if we had something Simultaneously Ass and Complex SAaS. let that sink in

100

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

i think we could use some more simple software don't get me wrong, i *identify* as Obsidian and Linear user. i love the craft, the keyboard shortcuts, the performance but not all software has to be like that... let's call it Good and Complex software, High Effort Software

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 19/04/2025

I needed it to be super simple and low effort like crab.fit, but even simpler — w/o hours, bcs my friend's big paws are too clumsy for that and I don't have knowledge at this level of detail weeks/months in the future ty for the inspiration Ben <3

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 17/04/2025

usually I'd do some event sourcing (or redux style) thing to inspect history and rollback versions but here I already had an old simple app, copied one internal from #Y-PartyKit (thanks and sorry @threepointone.bsky.social) and it just works™

Getting Y.js updates from storage and encoding them as Uint8Array for the frontend.

TypeScript code snippet:

if (url.pathname === `/parties/main/${this.room.id}/history`) {
const updates = await getLevelUpdates(this.room.storage, this.room.id);

return new Response(encodeUpdatesToOneUint8Array(updates), {
headers: {
...headers,
"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",
},
});
}

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz @haspar.us · 17/04/2025

Y.js is kinda neat because you get a basic time-travel-like version history for free even if you don't design for it
