iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I do not think it is some heuristic that looks at the code a determines if it looks like something written by human or an agent. 🙂

I believe most agents include themselves as author in the commit messages and/or pull request descriptions.

I really wish Bluesky would show the post being replied to above the reply instead of below. I always find myself scrolling up and down to read these. @bsky.app

Also not a fan a Teams, but should we not at least appreciate that this makes it easier to join meetings from the car?

Just realized that I am writing to a bot. 🫠

Is Enterprise also getting this feature rolled out, or will this come later for that tier? (And if Enterprise is getting this later, then how come? I can see that my company os spending a lot on our subscriptions. I would expect Enterprise to be the first to receive new features as an extra perk.)

I think investigation needs to be included as well. It's pretty amazing to see how much Claude can figure out about an issue in Sentry happening in the app, because it also quickly investigates the App Insights logs and the API code. The actual code fix is sometimes almost just a one liner.

That was also my thought. Once you have had to deal with this when implementing s calendar, it takes a while to forget again.

Too clever for my taste.

I used an LLM to write some complex SQL statements that retrieved data about the usage of our product. It helps answer questions like “how big does this text area need to be?”

I am doing refactoring code sweeps that I just wouldn’t have done before. You know, things like making sure our naming is consistent. Why wasn’t this caught in the review? Well, things slip through the cracks. And now it’s getting fixed. Avoiding death by a thousand cuts one patch a time.

In reality AI helps with more than half of my tasks, but doesn’t do it perfectly, and it also introduces new time wasters like more context switching and more code digging (because I don’t know the code base that well anymore, since I have not typed it all by hand). So a 2x sounds about right.

000

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 29/08/2026

I feel it’s more like AI only helps with some om my tasks. Let’s say that it can help with half of my tasks, but that it does so well, that the time spent on those becomes negligible. The end result is 2x speedup. Still a massive speedup, but not 10x.

I think Apple tried to create a sort of a personal Instragram when they added sharing to Apple Photos. My experience is that Google Photos work a lot better with this regard, so I actually use both apps.

000

Collaboration already covers work between editors and authors, seniors and juniors. I would also put humans and AI in that category.

100

Different skillset, sure. It moves through our codebase faster than anyone I know, it knows every technology in our stack, and sometimes it disappears down a completely wrong rabbit hole. I'm not claiming we're equals, but plenty of collaboration isn't.

100

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 24/08/2026

I don't agree. When I'm debugging, I chat back and forth with the AI, asking it to pull info from our backend systems so I can work out the root cause. It feels exactly like working through it with a coworker.

Is it possible to get 'npx expo install --fix' to work together with npmMinimalAgeGate? We have the cooldown set to two days, so the command fails unless I happens to run it at a specific time in point where the Expo hasn't released any updated in the two two days. 😕 #expo #cooldown #npm

You certainly have a point about two states being enough, but that’s not quite what I’m trying to argue. Another example is the font size selector on websites. It had its moment of fame, but it’s now very rare, replaced by the built-in zoom. I hope the theme selector will have the same fate.

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 06/08/2026

My personal opinion is that these toggles are just distracting UI (like the show 10, 20, 30, 40 og 50 items per page). Sites and apps should just follow the system mode. I don‘t need the ability to have apps in different modes at the same time.

This is the on/off slider switch on my wireless keyboard. Which of these positions would you consider the keyboard to be on?

Phew, that questionnaire was quite a marathon to complete.

000

Okay. Stellar might be an overstatement. But quite a lot better than what Azure DevOps has to offer. 🙂

My experience is that learning to divide up your PRs into proper commits not only make the PRs much easier to review, but it’s also a great tool for upping your coding skills. And recently I have also seen Claude use these atomic commits to better understand the code. Pretty cool.

010

And some magic CI validator that would fail PRs that have a tail of small ‘fix test’, ‘fix formatting’ etc. commits.

100

If I could, I would disable the files tab on my PRs until after all commits had been seen individually. Or probably something less intrusive, but still annoying enough to make the commit-by-commit reviews the default.

200

I know that is not completely the same, but I wish devs would just start by dividing their PRs into proper commits. GitHub has stellar UI for reviewing commit-by-commit, but I see most devs just go straight to the files tab when reviewing.

I have the same issue. Would be very interesting to hear from people what the do to overcome this issue. How do you stay focused while waiting for the AI? If the answer is more concurrent PRs, then how do you switch fast between them? Can the agents be made significantly faster or reliable?

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 25/07/2026

I think we call these ‘french hotdogs’ because the bread i slightly more flûte-like than our classic type of bread.

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 21/07/2026

Forgot to mention this in the survey: When using AI, I find myself waiting a lot for the answer, and this makes it difficult to keep focus. I know I can start up another session, but that means more context switching. I could also experiment with faster models, but that means more starting over.

Yes, this is what I assume that @thdxr.com would want a finger microphone for. The index has about 15 hours of recording, so it’s not meant for something you talk to all day long.

I seems pretty spot on, except that it would probably need a rechargeable or replaceable battery. repebble.com/index

I assume this graphic is influenced by the excellent bigmedium.com/ideas/design.... But or has always bothered me that it’s the inner planets are the ones that spin faster, so in our Solar system it‘s the other way around.

Is that really all the emojis currently available in iOS? I would have thought that there were a lot more.

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 15/07/2026

Great to see all those fixes, but should this really be a single PR? There could of course be a good reason for grouping this, but generally I would advice against this practice. If you want another solution for a few of these fixes then all the others will be held back by this.

> "Monolith" is a deployment strategy, not an architecture. Wonderfully put. I have been in several companies that bragged about having a microservice architecture… That they then could only deploy by deploying all the services in sync. Being the deploy person was pretty much a full time job.

Jan Aagaard @janaagaard.com · 11/07/2026

A lot of these have “iOS” in their name. Is there a fallback for Android or is this meant for apps that are only distributed on Apple’s platform?

The modern version is “my AI is building”.
