      will see how it goes but i’m feeling satisfied that (1) a major bug i couldn’t hunt down is now fixed and (2) i managed to connect pieces of my prototype in a somewhat cohesive way

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

      I secretly streamed for over an hour! At first I was just doing my taxes but then some friends joined and we had a fun chat. 🥰
