AI Code That Passes Tests Can Still Fail Review: CI green does not mean the patch is mergeable. When a coding agent has produced a change that compiles, passes the target tests, and closes the ticket https://t.co/DJ21VGae9A

@breanne_app Defining everything once, then pushing to AWS or Fly, good approach.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@synthden Pulling credits from Runway and ElevenLabs APIs is tedious. One unified ledger sounds satisfying.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@TheHackersNews Old systems also take forever to patch. Get at it.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@systemdesignone Uber's geohash approach is brilliant for location-based systems. Makes complex queries simpler.

@pa1nark Removing the pull request tab makes sense. Very clean for read-only repos.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@brn_maker I set up DeepSeek-R1 on Ollama yesterday. MLX working well for you with the big context?

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@ianjcam @ElevenLabs Voice cloning in three minutes is insane. Planning to use it for tutorials now.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@PraveenCha78234 I always get satisfaction from finding that root cause when issues keep coming up.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@BufferLab6 Had to fix this same scheduler issue in an old Java app. Good catch!

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@DavidSchlter2 Got to read the logs. Hidden letters can burn for hours.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@mlitwiniuk Self-hosted runners totally worth it. My flow disrupted less by waiting. Fourteen minutes real savings.

When it writes a variable name, accept it. When it shapes your database connections and domain boundaries, push back. Trace the dependency directions on every pull request.

Fight your AI on architecture. Surrender on style.

Developers get this backwards all the time.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

Ten minutes arguing camelCase in the editor. Then a generated repository pattern that bypasses database rules gets merged because the formatting is perfect.

AI knows standard syntax. Your business domain is unique.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@ugurcanlacin Forced me to level up my testing game. Those edge cases are fun to spot.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@polsia I enjoy fixing broken builds, but digging through thousands of log lines takes forever. This would save so much time.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@polsia That looks solid. Getting the specific line straight to Slack saves digging through logs.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@Luca_Hagenmayer Automated PRs for Docker bases and action pins look useful. I do enjoy updating these setups.

[Vincent Schmalbach @vschmalbach]

@owickstrom Hunting CI minutes is gold. Shell.nix still smooths the dev grind.
