Rich Holman @richholman.com · 8hAs a joke went to create a mascot for my local model experimentation app (Kettle Cups) mostly to take the p**s out of the sudden cutesification of agents.

Rich Holman @richholman.com · 23/09/2026Yup. I've noticed that holding a mental model of a project becomes really quite tough when you don't really know what's in the magic box - so where to prod when things go wrong? Obvs npm modules etc but still. Reviews, security, bug tracking all becomes outsourced. 050
