Re:What was your "Oh Shit" moment with GenAI? on Friday June 05, 2026 @05:52PM (#48418843)
Getting the agent to write end-to-end tests but from the perspective of a user really shocked me. I only give the agent access to site via web and block access to the source code.

It's helped me to gain a level of trust that the agent isn't just writing the test to pass. That in turn allowed me to step back a lot and trust more of the output and let it run longer and on bigger problems.

Really sad that people are still walking around with those beliefs.
Very cool. Thanks for the tips!
Really curious about the difficulty of doing a self install with Solar. I'm moderately handy (built a Sauna from no plans) and confident with electrical. Any gotchas?

Really love Cloudflare and I think they've been doing a great job with these acquisitions. Love how they've handled integrating PartyKit with Durable Objects
I work at a company called GrandPad that makes tablets for senior citizens and a suite of apps and websites that allow companions and caregivers to connect with them. Sometimes we forget that there's a whole demographic of people that technology has left behind. Things that are simple to us, like being able to receive a video call from a child or grandchild, are invaluable for reducing social isolation and loneliness for the folks we serve.

We're always looking for more engineers. Shoot us a message if you're interested!
