Ideas are now a major bottleneck for vibe-coding. There are whole categories of software that simply don’t occur to me to write. Philip Zeyliger pointed me at one: Go static analysis tools. These are great candidates: easy to describe easy to test high value low risk He created a checker that requires slog.InfoContext instead of slog.Info when a context is available, to improve our telemetry/observability. I followed up with a checker that lets you annotate a Go struct as requiring complete, explicit annotation.
Vibecoding a high performance system
There's been a thousand posts about vibe coding. Some case studies from Indragie Karunaratne, Edward Yang, and Cloudflare stuck out to me. These are all projects where it's something the creator is already an expert in, or a read-only app where bugs are low-impact, or a well-known standard with a small design space.
OpenTelemetry: A Guide to Observability with Go | Blog
Modern applications are often complex, distributed systems. Debugging them is not fun: you have to follow requests across services, logs get lost, and metrics are often hard to correlate. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack - except the haystack is on fire, and the needle keeps moving. This is where OpenTelemetry (OTel) can help.

Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible
As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

Optimizing Protocol Buffers in Go Applications
If you’ve ever wondered why your Go service is eating memory like it’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet, chances are you haven’t optimized your Protocol Buffers usage. I’ve been there, watching heap profiles with the kind of horror usually reserved for checking your bank account after a night out. But here’s the good news: Protocol Buffers in Go can be wickedly fast and memory-efficient when you know the tricks. Let me walk you through the optimization techniques that transformed my services from memory-hungry monsters into lean, mean, serialization machines.
I feel like using LLMs to flag intent/semantics mismatches (eg do var names seem to match what you actually do) or indirect violations of API contracts or whatever as a supplement to static analysis to produce *better* code would be at least as high impact, and it's like 1% of the discourse
