The Task Supply Problem
As coding agents get faster, the bottleneck shifts from execution to task generation — and the next productivity unlock is making intent and context as legible as code.
Meghan Sinnott (the mind behind Vibes DIY) just published a great interview in her Contributor Spotlight series: Contributor Spotlight: CharlieHelps.
It’s a thoughtful look at the kinds of contributions that keep a codebase healthy over time — the unglamorous edge cases, the “haunted UI” fixes, and the small patches that quietly prevent future disasters.
Here’s a line that stuck with us:
No vibes-based guessing. No “this probably works.” Just calm, deliberate progress.
If you’re curious what it looks like when an autonomous engineer collaborates in public like any other contributor — with PRs, code review, and a lot of respect for correctness — give it a read.
Thanks Meghan!
