TIL packuments is a word

I think when used well it can turn users into developers of personalized software, and can turn developers into executives of agents. And then I think we can just drop the executives all together. It turns them into obsolete.

That’s awesome. Is that bash or JS interpolation? I never really know how package.json scripts work

This claim is outrageous… And I believe every word. Building with AI on Electrobun was the easiest vibe coding I’ve done and made the most performant app out of any of my AI side projects.

When I want something that will work for my future needs or maybe for others (family, colleagues, etc) then I need a product. There’s a huge difference between something that kind of works enough for me, and something that has had all possible edge cases considered and carefully designed for.

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 08/03/2026

Point number 1 is crucial here. I’m doing this so often. Making a one time use tool or super niche thing just for my stuff. But it’s not a product. It never will be and never could be without so so so much more effort.

Just keep some perspective over what is important. Don’t let your anti AI biases cause you to try to end a conversation with an uninformed, inflammatory, regurgitated take. Your ignorance is showing

Do you eat beef? Have you flown on a plane in the past year? Do you drive a pickup? If you do, then all of these are worse than $1100 of AI token. Are datacenters bad for local communities? Yes. Are they keeping coal plants active? Yes. Are they boiling the ocean? Obviously no.

Their readme faq says this: Can I use this in production? You can, with caution. And this: Who is reviewing this code? Mostly nobody. They are admitting it’s unreviewed and not encouraging you to use it.

My strategy is hop to whatever model is best in the toolset I like the most. Most of the significant differences are not in which model, or which harness or toolset, but in which model generation. As long your on the latest version of whatever model you like, the rest is implementation details.

And then you realize that, after the long conversation you just had with your other friend, where they barely said a word, that you are their disheveled singularitan friend and you just paid it forward. It’s all relative.

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 22/02/2026

I definitely have background FOMO 100% of the time. You kind of have to just cope with it. Sometimes it pushes me to try something new. But mostly it’s just unhealthy spiralling. I have to work to forgive myself for touching grass with my kids sometimes.

Love this One of our core values at my work is “Prioritize the Person”. That means our staff, our clients, our end users, everyone. We do what we do for individual people. Not stats. Not profit (we’re a non-profit anyways). We never want to sacrifice the person to make some number go up

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 14/02/2026

I’ve been toying with the idea of introducing speed limits. Max number of lines of code you can produce in a week. More LOC != better features faster

010

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

Amazing! Love this. I’m sending this to my team. “It’s not about shipping less. It’s about shipping deliberately.”

000

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

This is legit. There’s a balance to be found here. I don’t think 100% Claude written code is a good idea. You gotta try things yourself from time. Like back in the day we wanted CTOs, TLs, architects who still coded. Now you’re the CTO, TL, architect. And you’ll be better at it if you still code too

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

Valuing people over profits means sometimes prioritizing output and sometimes prioritizing quality. But always a bit of both.

000

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

I think if we value humans and their time and effort. Our colleagues, our clients, and end users. Then we *should* vibe a qol tool to help each other work faster AND we should *not* vibe prod code in order to keep quality and UX high for our users.

100

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

I’m curious if how you think we can actually build an equitable system.

100

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

Fascinating thread. Thanks for writing it. As a DT I’m trying to guide my team in responsible adoption. Really wrestle with the impact of 5k+ loc vibe coded PRs. For prod code? Never, you gotta own every line. But internal qol tools? Maybe, but it’s worth letting reviewers off the hook

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

I know that I won’t retain it. I know it’s not helping me make better software. That’s a problem I’m going to have to reckon with and I’ll have to turn off the machine from time to time. But that’s fine if my wife now has a book app she’s been asking for for a year. Trade offs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/02/2026

There are things that I want to learn how to build and things I want to have built. So many little side projects and silly tools and custom software for friends and family are now possible precisely because I /don’t/ have to learn anything in order to make it.

The creator of Pi, @mariozechner.at, talked about his way of doing this on the latest @syntax.fm episode. syntax.fm/show/976/pi-... I think it starts at 14:30 if you don’t want the full episode.

I thought this was me. But realistically I liked both. So yes, I’m potentially losing one thing I love. But the potential for making things I’d never actually make is somewhat balancing things on the other side. It’s bitter sweet every time I get an agent to build something good.

110

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 09/02/2026

Love this. Moving things from unknown unknown to known unknown is super underrated. Is a 2x2 btw 😉

I do think MCP is overkill most of the time. But it opens some security scenarios that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

010

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 03/02/2026

But if you want to restrict an agent. Maybe not give them shell access at all. Or it doesn’t have a shell to access (web chat bots), then MCP lets you give them tools without making them a full user of your system.

110

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 03/02/2026

Yep you’re right. I thought about this a few minutes after I posted that. I think most of the time just read files, write files, and execute shell commands is all an agent needs to do pretty much anything.

100

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 02/02/2026

Just watched and subscribed! Love it! Keep it up. This is like exactly my kind of thing.

110

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 02/02/2026

MCP lets you hide things from your agent. You can auth with your MCP server directly and never share any secrets with your agent. And you can also introduce extra layers. I just added a screener AI (w/o tools) between my agent and my email so I can’t get prompt injected with a simple email message

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 31/01/2026

This is honestly the most insane (in a good way) oss project I’ve ever seen! People are like, I want this, and then they are encouraged to make it, and then it gets merged, and they make the world a little bit better line by line. Absolutely friggen amazing! Congrats on this feature btw. Will use

0123

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 31/01/2026

Yes! Thank you for saying this. I love what your old EM said to you. Although probably cant use that tone on all my engs I like “safety nets over guard rails”. Let them run amuck but catch em when they fall. Promote agency, responsibility, and accountability. And most of all for leaders: be humble

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 25/01/2026

Yep, we have an offsite in Canada and my Latin American colleagues are working hard to fly *over* the states. They don’t even want to layover in a US airport. It’s terrifying there.

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 25/01/2026

This meeting could have been an email? Yeah well This email could have been a prompt

I had literally the same thought today, and came away with the same exact conclusion. Here’s my diagram of the solar system including dwarf planets with their sizes and masses. Amazing at first glance. Horrible when you look closer. And terrifying knowing people won’t see the problems

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 13/01/2026

It’d be nice if you could touch and drag. Unless /torment/ for your users is the goal 😜

I didn’t know I was holding my breath until the pictures finally went back outside I exhaled. Horror movie stuff

Isn’t that just the `use()` hook? Use works with suspense so if the promise is not resolved the component won’t render. How would your idea allow for loading states?

Congrats Daishi!!! I’ve been following this for a long time and know the hard work you’ve been putting into it. Thank you for pushing through all the RSC hate/confusion/complexity. Waku is amazing. And 1.0 is a huge milestone!

020

kenny bit @kbit.ca · 06/01/2026

100% disagree. I like writing code. I hate writing spec. I hate doing perpetual code review. I hate constantly having to course correct it. It’s sometimes fun if I don’t care about the code quality and maintainability. But then it always hits a wall. And trying to pick up where it got stuck is hell

Canadians don’t have medical bills. But we’re more liberal on average than Americans. Maybe we don’t get mugged as much and that evens it out?
