AI made us faster. Part of that is an illusion.
Ask for anything and you get something. Sorting out the right thing is still on us. I write backend and poke at this side of the work.
Poking at Jev right now. Last thing out: Lumecrawl, Nov 2.See the log ↓Take this page
12 drafts were ready in a few hours. Which one works, AI couldn't tell. My answers are under them.
What gets a yes, what gets a no
Vibe coding gets you an MVP. Past that, you need standards.
- NoRambling at the agent, then "you handle it".Yes: Starting with the technical picture: the data model, the boundaries, what done means.
- NoAn agent that puts DTOs and mappings somewhere new each time.Yes: Written rules: where controllers, services, DTOs and mappings live, and why there.
- NoAn agent that starts from zero every session.Yes: Memory lives in the repo: decisions, patterns, reference code.
- NoMistaking "it works" for "it's done".Yes: Nothing closes before security, scale and maintenance get a look.
Tools from along the way
Each one started with getting stuck.
- System Design CanvasFor drawing the architecture before writing the code. The most loved one.
- hooksense-mcpNo wasted tokens on long jobs. It wakes up when the webhook arrives.
- lambda-doctorFinds out why your Lambda wakes up slowly.
- sidebandFor controlling an external display from the menu bar.
- whyportWhy a port is open, who's using it, and one click to stop it. In the macOS menu bar.
What's on the desk
What I'm working on this week.
- JevPoking at it, a post is coming.
- LumecrawlTo measure, every week, whether sites show up in AI answers.
- SelfInboxFixed the verification link and catch-all replies.
- This siteThe thing you're looking at. Still not done.
What happened
November
- LumecrawlStopped selling access control and turned to weekly AI visibility tracking. The free report comes first now.
- SelfInboxFixed the verification link and catch-all replies. Resend errors show up now too.
October
- YayınlıyorThe page slid sideways on iPhone. Fixed.
- HookSenseScrolling webhook sources landed on the landing page.
- hooksense-mcpThe MCP tools had fallen behind the API. Caught them up.
September
- System Design CanvasNew look, and auto layout crosses fewer lines.
- UptimeCrowOne wrong WEB_ROOT took every page down. Not anymore.
