Do you actually know what it is doing? Do you know if it works? Typically the answer to the first question is yes, and for the second it's we think so, based off 'vibes'. Which is a terrible way to build and run production software. 1/215 Jun 2026 19:22 +0000at://did:plc:sogm76n4bw6o7rzebfplrjp2/app.bsky.feed.post/3modyzpim7k2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimbobbennett.dev/post/3mnsjaqpkpk2z"I genuinely don't care. Pick one." That was my contribution to a meeting last week where the team was debating two tools. And it was the most useful thing I said all day. "Strong opinions, loosely held" is the "approved" take.

The written policy says one thing. The institutional knowledge sitting in Slack threads, hallway conversations, and the heads of long-tenure employees says another. 🧵 1/319 May 2026 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:sogm76n4bw6o7rzebfplrjp2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm7onq7us22z
