Next, based on your replies: multi-account pipelines, a proper battle-test of KiroCrew, and finally fixing my promotion model to package-once-promote-many. #BuildInPublic #KiroSat, 17 Oct 2026 02:29:19 GMTblueskyBluesky Posthttps://bsky.app/profile/lockhead.dev/post/3mxltyxvati2whttps://bsky.app/profile/lockhead.dev/post/3mxltyxvati2wIs the real skill in 2026 writing code, or knowing when to doubt the thing that wrote it?Sat, 17 Oct 2026 02:29:19 GMTblueskyBluesky Posthttps://bsky.app/profile/lockhead.dev/post/3mxlnbzfcut23https://bsky.app/profile/lockhead.dev/post/3mxlnbzfcut23Closing out two weeks of building in public. Honest lessons: The posts where I owned a gap got more engagement than any polished win. "Harness > model" struck a nerve. And almost everyone admitted to a pipeline hack they're quietly ashamed of.
