Actually I wanted to try a bit GithubCopilot with Agents.md. Yet .. I think during the project I totally forgot to test the influence of the Agents file but tried “vibeCoding” in a reproducible way.
I had a very little project in mind that authenticates to Mastodon, fetches some data, saves into a database and displays some metrics on a web page in basic charts. Nothing overly fancy, but also some stuff that would simply take some time when coding “alone”. Like proper OAUTH flow, paging through mastodon apis, rate limiting, database writing, database setup script and cleanup. Some Javascript for the chart, etc.
But I thought it might be nice to try with GithubCopilot (GHC). But I’m also a big fan of reproducible results. So … step by step, what did I do.
