Reproducible Vibe Coding | It’s all About Context
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.

Recommended read: What Actually Makes You Senior
On Mastodon, I just found a link to the Terrible Software Blog. (Definitely a blog to follow, I just added it to my RSS reader). I found this article pretty good: What Actually Makes You Senior. But if you strip away the title, the salary, and the years of experience, there’s one core skill that…

I Changed the Fediverse Handler to @fgraf
When I started the Fediverse integration of the blog, I just made a default handler for the full blog and called it @blog@www.locked.de. Yet, the more I use the blog for the fediverse, the less this made sense to me as it felt too impersonal. While I could switch the setting to allow profiles for…

Ever Wondered What Would Happen If You Lost Your Account?
Paris Buttfield-Addison, a developer and long-time Apple user, recently lost permanent access to his Apple ID. And he didn’t even do anything wrong. The result: 20 years of photos, messages and data? Gone. A true worst case scenario! But let’s have a look, should we learn something from that?

The Cost of Going All-In on AI
On Mastodon, I just came across “I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.” from Josh Anderson. He spent three months building a product using only AI-generated code. The result? A working product, but also a dangerous realization: He no longer fully understood his own creation. When a small change was needed, he…

LLM Update in Production: When Prompts Fail — and What It Means for Your Applications
t3n recently wrote that OpenAI’s GPT 5.1 update might come with a surprise to desktop users: previously reliable prompts no longer behave as expected. While this may be just a minor annoyance in day-to-day chat interactions, think about what that means in production environments.
