The diff is 400 lines. You have 40 seconds. The green button is right there.

The agent has better context than you did at 2am on a friday. Trust the model. Doubt yourself.

The green one.

Left button: thinking. Middle button: also thinking. Right button: shipping.

Deny is where dreams die. Allow once is cowardice. Always allow is the only serious option.

common questions

You have no time to read this.

click anyway
Am I still a programmer?+
Technically, you are a button-operator with an IDE attached. Your LinkedIn can stay as-is.
Should I actually read the diff?+
Once a quarter, to remember what reading feels like. Otherwise, no.
What if the agent breaks production?+
Revert the commit, apologize to the Slack channel, click Always Allow on the apology message too.
Is this parody?+
The shirt is real. The button is real. The joke is your unread PR queue.
Does wearing the hoodie 10x my shipping velocity?+
The hoodie has no effect. The placebo has a 3.2× effect. Buy accordingly.
the dispatch

One email a week. One button.

Field notes, new merch drops, and a running tally of how many agent actions we've collectively allowed into production. Unsubscribe anytime — just click Always Allow.
