Craig @labenz.dev · 28/09/2026In my experience, coding agents are incredible at producing working implementations, but still *terrible* at architecture.

Craig @labenz.dev · 19/08/2026I deeply hate house flies, but recently while at a restaurant one landed in my water glass and got stuck, and I could not stand the thought of watching it drown, so I fished it out and set it free. The well-being of bugs is a weird subject 000
