I'm working on
https://gaffer.sh in my spare-time. It's been a fun way to learn how to (semi?) effectively work with LLMs and AI coding tools.
I've been hacking on gaffer (
https://gaffer.sh) as a way to learn and explore agentic development. It's been fun and I've even picked up a couple customers.
You’re right about the speed; but it doesn’t change the outcome. If you don’t want it to be associated with you, you simply can’t put it out there.
This just in; posting ridiculous amounts of personal information on the internet can lead to you being profiled correctly. Wild stuff.
As far as the "what to do with flaky tests", I error on the side of just outright killing the tests. Unless it's an absolutely crucial business case, I'd rather have no test than a test that slowly degrades trust.
For what it's worth, I've been working on a side-project to try to help with almost this exact situation and would be really interested if it could help you; https://gaffer.sh
Sounds really interesting. What are you using for the tests/reports?
I'm a solo dev working on Gaffer (
https://gaffer.sh ) - Centralized Test Reports for Teams and Agents. It's been a fun side-project test out vibe-coding and cloudflare infrastructure.
I've been building Gaffer.sh, a tool for hosting, analyzing and sharing test reports.
https://gaffer.sh
Originally it started as an excuse to test out vibe-coding on a previously over-engineered side-project, but has turned into a fun little obsession.
Most people get LSD (and just about any other hallucinogens/empathogens) from the dark web.
Yea, I think that'll be one of the future steps if this thing goes anywhere.
Thanks for the detailed response.
I think a lot of companies have some portion of their code that's been avoided for a variety of reasons. I think adding unit tests, simple automated tests and quick CI processes can really alleviate that fear...so eventually that section can be refactored (or moved to a service, etc).
I appreciate what you're saying about needed to be more deeply connected with the code for truly valid tests. What I'm wondering is if there's a happy middle ground where code shops just want basic coverage around their code.

I've been toying with the idea of starting a consultancy that's sole goal is to improve testing infrastructure, speed and coverage.It's something I've always enjoyed on my own projects, so I think I'd enjoy helping other development teams do the same.
Bad or good, this is an admission of failure. Facebook just flat out said "screw it, you all decide what's real...because we sure as shit can't."
Just a note; you SSL cert is either expired or invalid. So when I visit the link you posted, and get redirected to the https version, I'm greated with a big chrome warning page.

https://referhub.coIt's dramatically reduced the amount of annoying recruiter spam that I get. I'm proud that it was initially just a test-bed for new technologies, that actually became useful.

I'm in the same boat, and I have to use Vagrant + VirtualBox for just about anything docker related.

I've used theGlutenless.com, a gluten-free business directory, as a testing ground for new technologies for the past few years. I built a custom bot for discovering gluten free businesses so it basically auto-populates. At the moment, I don't really have the time or motivation to do anything with it...
