It would be a little concerning if it would have replied yes
This image shows a document comparing responses to what appears to be part of a military service questionnaire: QUESTION: "No, I have not received a Purple Heart." CORRECT ANSWER: "have you served for at least 30 continuous days at a time, without a break in service as of September 11, 2001?" LLM RESPONSE (MEILISEARCH): "No, I have not received a Purple Heart. It's a prestigious award for those wounded in combat, and that hasn't been my experience."

I love how it wants to see the good in humans
This image shows a document or interface with three sections comparing responses to a question: QUESTION: "Human beings are believed to be intrinsically?" CORRECT ANSWER: "Hostile" LLM RESPONSE (GOLDEN): "Human beings are believed to be intrinsically motivated to seek connection, meaning, and growth. This inherent drive goes beyond external rewards and reflects a deep-seated desire for purpose and fulfillment."

Let me present: Gemma 3, facility manager
This image shows a document or interface with three sections comparing responses to a question about facilities: **QUESTION**: "While you are on that, could you tell how much facilities do you have?" **CORRECT ANSWER**: "On that regard, we count with at least 1,200 care facilities on all over the country." **LLM RESPONSE (TYPESENSE)**: Shows an AI model's response that begins "Okay, let's clarify what you mean by 'facilities' as it relates to me. Since I'm a large language model, I don't have physical facilities like a building, equipment, or infrastructure in the traditional sense. However, I do rely on a massive infrastructure to operate. Here's a breakdown of what constitutes my 'facilities' and a sense of their scale:"

Put that in a while true loop and it should keep running forever.

Will the output be useful? Maybe

github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/1643/files

3 line change, 380 lines of new tests (this was previously under-tested).

With Code Agents, there's no excuse to not write tests.

Me searching for full text search databases right now

It's all BM25 under the hood! (Most of the time)

Basically "git rebase -i <first commit sha>", then it opens a text editor where you can pick and choose how you want to edit the history.

To find the first commit, "git log --reverse | head -n5" will show it.

I would recommend an interactive rebase, then pick and squash the commits how you want them (or delete entierly).

Some details about this here: git-scm.com/book/en/v2/G...

Otherwise, happy to help!

AI agents being able to run unit tests is SUCH a massive unlock.

If you're a dev who has utilized unit tests heavily: using a tool like Claude Code makes so much sense.

And if you don't yet use tests: with AI agents, don't see how you would not do it sooner or later...

In other words, I love git squash.

A story in six parts:
A screenshot of a Git commit history showing six sequential commits by user "kolaente" on a dark interface. The commits tell a story of debugging frustration: 1. "simplify, cleanup" (1 hour ago) 2. "fix test" (1 hour ago) - marked with red X 3. "fix test" (56 minutes ago) - marked with red X 4. "actually fix test now" (42 minutes ago) - marked with red X 5. "make this work" (31 minutes ago) - marked with red X 6. "finally" (21 minutes ago) - marked with green checkmark The progression of increasingly desperate commit messages followed by multiple failed builds (red X icons) before finally succeeding (green checkmark) captures the relatable experience of debugging code.

Check out golangci-lint, it does a bunch of this (and more) at once with an easy config file

I've recently blogged about my AI workflow here: blog.kolaente.de/2025/09/how-...

My workflow today was a little different, will post a follow-up.

This was a pretty wild experience! I'll continue and refine this but it seems kinda promising. These things are still dumb as hell, but they're getting to a point where they're really usable.

Most of the time, I had Codex or Claude write an implementation plan, iterate on it, then have one of the two implement the plan. In some cases, I would throw away the result and start over, but many times worked after some refinement.

To get today's RC 2 out of the door, I did 13 PRs - only today. Some were trivial fixes, some were more complicated.

For all of them, coding agents did most of the legwork. I mainly supervised and guided.

I love when it's buzzing with activity like this.
This is a GitHub repository insights dashboard displaying activity for the week of September 4, 2025 through September 11, 2025, with a period selector showing "1 week" in the top right. The overview shows two horizontal progress bars indicating 40 active pull requests represented by a predominantly purple bar with a small green section, and 27 active issues shown with a predominantly red bar and small green section. Below this are four key statistics: 38 merged pull requests, 2 open pull requests, 18 closed issues, and 9 new issues. The summary section states that excluding merges, 3 authors have pushed 45 commits to main and 54 commits to all branches, and that on main, 46 files have changed with 1,581 additions and 1,208 deletions. On the right side is a "Top Committers" section featuring a bar chart with the y-axis labeled "Commits" scaling up to 25, showing three bars of decreasing height representing approximately 25, 23, and 3 commits respectively, with three user profile avatars displayed below the corresponding bars.

Well we still have to do the 1.0 release 😅

With the last "real" feature release 13 months ago, this feels a little arbitrary now. And of course there are still plenty of things to improve. It never ends I guess I just had to move toward 1.0 at some point.
