- Throughout my career, I’ve focused on developer tools… mostly because I checked the wrong box on a form once…I don't understand why squash merging is not the default on GitHub. The other options make no sense, and just slow things down. Similarly, it's confusing that people *still* use `git merge`. It makes everything so complicated. Always rebase, never merge.
- I thought "vibe coding" was silly... until I watched my design counterpart — who has never written a line of code in his life — create a real outcome. Watching him succeed with these tools was the breakthrough for me to become a believer. What made vibe coding real for _you_?
- Perhaps my finest contribution to Vercel was printing the LFG stickers.
- What’s an example of a developer tool with “great taste”? And why? What does that phrase mean to you?
