The Agent Hangover
Coding agents increase output faster than maintenance loops can keep systems in sync. Daemons give recurring engineering work an owner.
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!
