iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

That's the batch for today, go check out the full videos on the Commit Your Code channel: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Pull up this talk by Eric Bible on what your bug rate really measures. His case: bug rate is a lagging indicator of unclear requirements, not a code problem, and you buy speed by being ready for that. #CYC26

Watch this clip from Dennis Ivy on AI eating content sites' traffic. He walks through a real business, not a hypothetical, watching its traffic evaporate as language models read everything and send nobody back. #CYC26

Check out this talk by Leon Noel on why the job hunt is broken. He walks through the flooded line, bots and people both applying to the same postings, and what gets you out of it. #CYC26

Watch this talk by @elchefe.me on why LLMs don't know anything. He compares an LLM to a used car salesperson, and the comparison holds up better than you'd want it to. #CYC26

Check out this talk by Zackary Chapple on what counts as leading a team. His test is simple: if the team keeps shipping the moment you leave the room, you were leading it. #CYC26

More catching up from @commityourcode.bsky.social This set is about careers and leading teams, and a couple of these got the biggest laughs of the week. Tagging as many speakers as I can find, go follow them!

The Commit Your Code Conference 2026 - YouTube

That's the batch. Every talk is up on the Commit Your Code channel: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Thanks Danny Thompson and the @commityourcode.bsky.social crew for streaming every room. More threads this week.

Pull up this talk by @cmgriffing.bsky.social on auto generated MCP servers. He found a blog post trashing auto generated MCP, written by the same people who built the tool that generates it. #CYC26

Catch this talk by @joelhooks.com on who's really running AI work. His theory involves frontier labs, company stores, and a kind of digital sharecropping most of us haven't named yet. #CYC26

Go see this talk by Brian Munz on the AI hype cycle. He opens with a story about his kid and Legos that made him look like a genius parent, then ties it straight to why AI demos fool us the same way. #CYC26

Watch this talk by Michael Gyarmathy on why AI pilots die before launch. His argument: most of them never earn enough trust to survive a legal review or a compliance audit, and that kills them before the tech gets a say. #CYC26

Check out this talk by Tim Rayburn on AI getting blamed for human error. He's got a flat answer for every headline about AI wiping a database: some idiot did it, and AI just made the headline catchy. #CYC26

Still catching up from @commityourcode.bsky.social and pulling the hot takes and interesting call outs from each talk. Today's batch is agents and MCP, the rooms that were standing-room only. One clip per talk, speaker tagged so you can go follow them. Enjoy the hot takes.

SBA Parking

Sam Gutentag @samgutentag.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Asked for a parking tracker for my local airport and got one in a single prompt. Live counts for all three lots off SBAs own feed plus some data collection for me to process later. Still blows my mind how easily you can just make things with AI Models What have you made lately?

Screenshot of a web dashboard titled "SBA Parking," subtitled "Santa Barbara Airport lot availability, tracked over time." A status line reads: last poll 2 min ago, feed updated 10:33 AM PT.

Three cards run across the top, each giving a lot's free spaces, trend, fill level, address, and rates, all as of 10:33 AM.

Short-term Parking, badged Limited: 5 free of 192, steady; 97% full, 187 parked. 500 Fowler Road. Free 0-10 min, $5/hr after, $32/day max, cards and cash.

Long-term Parking, badged Open: 212 free of 780, steady; 73% full, 568 parked. 500 Fowler Road. $5/hr, $23/day max, cards and cash.

Economy Parking, badged Open: 421 free of 564, steady; 25% full, 143 parked. 140 Frederick Lopez Road. $5/hr, $18/day max, cards only, 24/7, shuttle every 15 min.

Below the cards are two toggles: a range selector (6h, 24h, 7d, 30d, All) set to 24h, and a view switch (Chart, Table) set to Chart.

The chart, "Occupancy: percent of spaces occupied, three lots, one axis," spans noon to about 10:30 AM, with a y-axis from 0 to 100% and a Limited marker at the 75% line. Readings begin around 3 AM. Short-term climbs from roughly 55% to 97%, Long-term from roughly 55% to 73%, and Economy holds near 25% throughout.

A footer notes that ADA parking is held in the short- and long-term lots even when a lot shows full and is excluded from these counts, that cell-phone lots and bike racks are available, and that RVs aren't allowed on airport property. 366 readings stored since Sep 9, 2026, 12:22 AM PDT. Data comes from the airport's own feed at flysba.santabarbaraca.gov, refreshed about every three minutes; times are Pacific.

Let the conference travel begin! Double whammy of small airport and west coast time zones, I’m up at 3am to make it to Dallas by 1pm 😅 If you’re traveling to @commityourcode.bsky.social conference today, hit me up! Gotta pass the time somehow! #CYC26

A selfie of me, in front of the airport terminal, very tired, but very excited!

I've been seeing this more and more in Claude responses, loving the inclusivity (at least that's how im spinning it in my head) #claudemas

Sure, you've delegated almost everything to agents lately, but Can't recommend enough dusting off the cobwebs and doing some of the heavy lifitng yourself. Still got it!

Traveling to visit family and my already long 3 hour layover has been extended to a nearly 7 hour gap between flights on the plus side @denverairport.bsky.social wifi is amazing and with no other distractions this has been one of the most product work days I've had in a long while

Also the cross platform posting and tagging is the best I’ve seen, would love a way to associate these profiles “permanently” or so that I don’t have to edit them every time #openvibe

Did I just discover the perfect theme set for my fleet of AI IDEs? Never again switching between 6 of the same VS Code windows again!

A meme based on the “Thanos Infinity Stones” template. The top panel shows six colorful glowing stones labeled with names of AI IDE tools: Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Kiro, Windsurf, and Aider. In the bottom panel, Thanos leans back in satisfaction as energy surges through him, symbolizing power. The caption reads: “10x Developer Workflow With 1 IDE Per PR,” humorously suggesting that using all these tools gives a developer immense power like Thanos.

Dev tools are only as beneficial as knowing how to use them. And sample sizes of n=20 might be worth a closer look. #cursor #devtools #goldenhammer
