So I made Picosky, a Bluesky client for the PICO-8 console to see what would be possible combining GPIO with sockets. Initially I just aimed to like a post on my feed, and then it grew from there.

Which also inspired a sibling game, https://npicomx.vinnymac.dev based on my experience contributing to the npmx.dev project in early 2026.

Both games require more play testing for bugs, so share feedback and let me know what you would have done differently.

Thanks

Happen to be a startup that isn’t mission critical to someone’s health and well being? Great, now you can use AI and be as dirty as you would like.

Are you working with dangerous chemicals that are ingested by others, or systems that control hunks of metal flying through the sky with hundreds on board? Maybe we should stay clean in those environments until we make AI itself clean.

Only use GitHub for employers at the moment, but don’t intend to put new code there going forward.

Here is a screencap of the wip mobile UI on old safari: https://files.catbox.moe/bo7pxn.jpeg

One funny thing I see it doing is deleting seemingly random comments lines, for example if a file has a comment that spans multiple lines but doesn’t use a multi line comment syntax. It just chooses one at random transforming the once useful comment into slop.

I don’t see them fixing this any time soon, and thus human in the loop is a requirement to use these tools effectively. That is unless you love your slot machine dopamine rush enough to ignore quality gates and respect for your peers time.

I plan on focusing primarily on these areas:

- mobile experience is first class, even on old/slow devices

- diff viewer is fast even on extremely large pull requests

- stacked pull request support

- user interface is modern, accessible, and theme-able with a light touch of whimsy

- search is accessible from anywhere

- opinionated keyboard shortcuts and commandk palette from day one

Many other longer term goals that I’m not mentioning here for now while the roadmap is forming.

I’m working on an open source Forgejo browser called Joui. It’s coming along nicely, and is so much snappier than GitHub in every single way.

Moving everything from GitHub to Forgejo and Tangled for now. These outages haven’t effected me for the past month because of this.

We need the pragmatic engineer more than ever.

The point I’m making is that we give the spotlight to people who are making absurd claims. We have not achieved the ability to remove the human from the loop and continually produce value-able outputs. Until we do, I don’t see how any of the claims made in this article are even close to anything more than simply gate-keeping slop.

The “what is this trying to do?” has never been harder to answer than before. It creates scenarios where 99% is correct, but the most important area is subtly broken. I prefer it to be human, where 60-80% will be correct, and the problematic areas begin to smell more and more gradually.

In my experience LLMs, at times, may hide the truth from you in a haystack made of needles.
