Most AI-assisted coding right now is just… vibes. You copy-paste, tweak a line or two, and hope for the best. This Ward is about the opposite: how to use AI in your stack and still ship boringly reliable, production-grade software.
Boring Reliability Wards
Protection spells for your codebase: calm UX, tests and responsible AI.
Ward #2 – When Vibes Replace Discipline
Coming SoonDate TBD
No tests, no plan, just vibes. AI writes code faster than you can read it. Three months later, nobody knows what anything does. A cautionary tale about what happens when you skip the boring parts.
Ward #3 – RACI: Who's Driving This Thing?
Coming SoonDate TBD
You can't both be in charge. When working with AI, someone has to make the final call, and someone has to do the work. RACI makes it clear who does what—so you don't end up with an AI that thinks it's the architect.
Ward #4 – The Test You Didn't Write Will Break on Friday
Coming SoonDate TBD
Every skipped test is a future 3am incident. Every 'TODO: add test later' is a lie you tell yourself. AI makes writing tests trivial, so you're out of excuses. Here's what to test, what to skip, and how to sleep better at night.
