    Announcing `drizzle-transact` and `drizzle-explain`: two small libraries that turn good intentions into good mechanisms.

Left unguided, it amplifies duplication and weak abstractions; tightly constrained, it can be impressively precise. Generative AI is an amplifier. It accelerates coherence, and it accelerates mess.
  • Why Are Experiences Of Vibe Coding So Polarised?

    A controlled experiment reveals why developers report vastly different experiences with AI coding tools - and what it takes to achieve reliable, high-quality results.
