Git is a just a confessional booth where you ask an AI to absolve you of your merge conflicts codeofhonor.com/bits/git-is-ju…

There's a malicious package released every six minutes, so I run my AI agents in a macOS sandbox. Now it supports iOS Simulator and Chrome browser automation. codeofhonor.com/blog/sandboxin…

Finding bugs with an automated AI test agent Every day I'm surprised by AI. Today's surprise was how capable AI is at self-test codeofhonor.com/blog/finding-b…

Sandvault, a macOS sandbox for AI agents, now supports browser automation, letting you safely interact with web pages: github.com/webcoyote/sand… codeofhonor.com/bits/sandvault…

No sandbox for your AI agent? Are you crazy? I'm mystified that developers run AI agents locally with no sandbox. codeofhonor.com/blog/no-agent-…

How do you ensure success when collaborating with AI agents? I broke down my go-to techniques at the O'Reilly AI conference last month, and the video + presentation notes are now available.… codeofhonor.com/snippets/creat…

Games marketing is broken. After raising over $50M to support and work with hundreds of studios over the last 6 years, I find that the biggest problem is studios’ lack of direct connection with their players. Over the last six years, I’ve watched talented teams struggle because they never had a clear way to reach, learn from, and grow with players over time. Without that connection, everything becomes harder - validation, iteration, community growth, and retention all turn into guesswork. For most of the games industry’s history, platforms have controlled identity, communication, and distribution, which are invaluable to a game’s success. Apple limited how studios could collect and use player contact information outside the App Store, and Steam still doesn’t give studios access to the contact details of players who wishlist or sign up for playtests. Studios are left without a direct relationship with the audience they’re trying to serve. As a result, studios rely on fragmented tools and spreadsheets to manage players across different stages of development and live operations, with no continuity from first contact through long-term engagement. Today, that changes with the launch of FirstLook 1.0. FirstLook is the first Player Relationship Platform built specifically for games. It gives studios everything they need to connect with players across the full lifecycle, including playtests and feedback, community and communications, analytics, rewards, and creator programs, all in one place. We’ve been building under the radar, but FirstLook already powers hundreds of studios, from indies to publishers like Krafton, @ArenaNet, and @Skybound, connecting millions of players with the developers who make the games they love. As part of the launch, we’re introducing a brand new limited time free plan, with access to all our features for up to 500 players. You can set this up now in under 10 minutes. If you want to learn more, book a demo and we guarantee that you will save you time and money and help you grow. Links in comments!
