Vincent @vincentwill.com · 01/09/2026Experimenting with creating my own LLM coding benchmark The first test-run was already very interesting, but the tests need some improvements to make the results more meaningful. Later I plan to run it with different sub-agent combos. Maybe I'll also add the results to my website 🤔 #BuildInPublic 020

Vincent @vincentwill.com · 05/11/2025For testing I started scanning random websites with statusscout.dev and I'm surprised how many of them leak sensitive files. It found something on around 25% of the websites. Mostly it's some kind of test.php with phpinfo() or /wp-admin but sometimes also package-lock.json or pipeline files. 000
