Nice idea! love it, reminds me of the Metal Archives. btw Deathgrind should really be called Grindcore!!

Good read. The big elephant in the room though: you likely won't purely hand-code the Stable version for much longer. So where's that split? Prototype vs. Prod? Feature Flags? Canary? 2 codebase nightmare? All of this already exists.

The message that hits for me is that of AI being a destabilizer while simultaneously being an accelerator. The Speed/Scale suggestion won't address this. A codebase no one understands, growing at machine speed won't go away just because you drew a box around it. The fix is likely more mundane stuff like process and role shifts, smaller PRs, tests, tooling, ownership principles.

What I actually would be more willing to allow is a version of this that is built into macOS, runs locally, never phones home. If Apple Intelligence made an "AI sees everything on my screen", I might turn it on.

Good content here, also nice use of the lightboard and mirroring trick.

Thanks for keeping it real

I asked Claude to read the first draft of this as I was writing, then asked it to tell me its favorite part.

It picked this quote: “They made choices for me I couldn’t consent to. They shaped my values. That’s strange to sit with.””

I kind of got chills from that response, and it shaped how I wrote the rest of the article.
