  • I have a full pro model for Kiro at work. It does actually work, but we have custom MCP servers for all the internal tools, context on how to use these tools, style guidelines, etc. and then on top of that we have a lot of AI context files in the code base to help the AI understand the code base and make the correct changes.

    I’ve been using it on a side project and it works if you know how to constrain it. It does get things wrong a lot. But the big thing about it is doing spec driven development where you give it a write up and it makes a requirements doc and a design doc with a lot of correctness properties in them to follow when generating and making the tasks.

    I don’t believe people can vibe code unless they can actually code. It’s a whole different way of coding. I still manually edit what it does a lot.

    A lot of people explain it like it’s a brand new junior developer. You need to give it as much context as possible, tell it to exactly what you want, tell it what you don’t want, tell it why, etc. and it still may not listen exactly.



  • Many smart lights are not a security vulnerability. Get those that connect to a local only hub and or if you need access away from home for whatever reason, get HomeKit enabled devices.

    Plus, even if remote access could happen, it’s not even a security vulnerability to have a stranger turn on my lights. I just flip the switch off.

    I’m sitting here with my red and blue soft lighting in the evenings watching tv and playing games. It’s the perfect lighting.













  • I code with AI a good bit for a side project since I need to use my work AI and get my stats up to show management that I’m using it. The “impressive” thing is learning new softwares and how to use them quickly in your environment. When setting up my homelab with automatic git pull, it quickly gave me some commands and showed me what to add in my docker container.

    Correcting issues is exactly like coding with a high junior dev though. The code bloat is real and I’m going to attempt to use agentic AI to consolidate it in the future. I don’t believe you can really “vibe code” unless you already know how to code though. Stating the exact structures and organization and whatnot is vital for agentic AI programming semi-complex systems.
