Most interesting finding is around context files getting stale (silently) and your coding agent performance getting worse without telling you.

Doc Export helps close the loop with your workflows. Generate in Dosu, push to wherever your team works, and keep that knowledge up to date. Plus...doc reviews got a real quality bump. Would love to know what you think!

It found the web interface, changed a dropdown from "Stop" to "Continue," and the printer worked. Four minutes. Then it decided the fix wasn't thorough enough. bit.ly/4aiRlTS https://open.substack.com/pub/onlydole/p/i-let-ai-fix-my-printer?r=26vcbf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true14 Feb 2026 02:31 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mery4sycxu2thttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mdva4owlws2cIt has been a wild month! Nolan Lawson went from calling LLMs "amusing toys" to admitting 90% of his code now comes from Claude. Linus Torvalds started vibe coding his Python visualizers. The tools are changing fast, folks. bit.ly/4tiO6mU https://onlydole.substack.com/p/who-are-you-when-the-code-writes?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=vibe-coding-post02 Feb 2026 16:07 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdva4owlws2chttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcq4kj4ql325AGENTS.md is becoming the README for AI coding agents. 60K+ projects use it now, and I took some time to document what's working well across the ecosystem. bit.ly/4pPbEgf https://bit.ly/4pPbEgf18 Jan 2026 21:55 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcq4kj4ql325https://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcpsuqplzg27I love what Kelsey said about the true goal of Kubernetes. That goal is to eventually disappear. The best infrastructure becomes invisible, stable enough that you build on top of it, so you can tackle what's next. https://bit.ly/4jJYJL318 Jan 2026 19:01 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcpsuqplzg27https://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcpm73y6ak25Sandi Metz wrote about the wrong abstraction years ago, and I still think about it. Duplication is cheaper than the wrong abstraction. If future maintainers can't understand why you built it that way, you've created cognitive debt rather than a shortcut. https://bit.ly/3NNpmmc18 Jan 2026 17:02 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcpm73y6ak25https://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcn7kpz4wq2yAI can tell you what code does. It can't tell you why the maintainer wrote it that way three years ago, what broke when they tried it differently, or which edge case that weird conditional handles. That context lives in issues and PR discussions. At @dosu.dev we make that searchable. bit.ly/4qVInkP17 Jan 2026 18:11 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcn7kpz4wq2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcn47ifru42xKubernetes has a deprecation policy that gives you years of warning before breaking changes land. Nobody talks about this because it's boring, but it's why enterprises trust the platform. Deprecation policies are promises to your users. https://bit.ly/4b3a06N17 Jan 2026 17:11 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcn47ifru42xhttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mclueirt4c2nSomeone asked me how to navigate the CNCF landscape without getting overwhelmed. My honest answer is that you're not supposed to adopt everything in the landscape. Most teams need maybe 10% of what's there. The value is knowing options exist when you need them. https://bit.ly/4jNFP5Z17 Jan 2026 05:18 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mclueirt4c2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mclqz77hkc25Platform teams that treat internal developers like customers tend to stick around. The ones that act like they have a captive audience eventually discover that shadow IT is real and developers are creative about routing around tools they don't like. https://bit.ly/4aZ7qyL17 Jan 2026 04:18 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mclqz77hkc25https://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcijlduw462uA decade in open source taught me this: the people who last aren't the ones who shipped the most code.

It converts Docker Compose files into Kubernetes manifests automatically and provides visualizations for cloud deployments. Built with Layer5. Direct challenge to Helm and Kustomize. Worth trying if you've been frustrated with the Compose-to-K8s gap. https://bit.ly/3NIn9s915 Jan 2026 14:47 +0000at://did:plc:nouiygi3qjsd73nf6vuxl3pm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mchta5wofe2chttps://bsky.app/profile/onlydole.dev/post/3mcg6y6msdm2xThe tools that last are rarely the ones that promised to change everything.
