Back in the lab - 2026/03/04 - 2026/03/09
Energy: mid (Should be more tired went to bed at 2am woke up at 4am to watch a bit of the Austrailian Grand Prix, but couldn't really stay awake lol! Really disturbed sleep Saturday to Sunday)
Time: 3-4 Hours
Project(s): SpecOps Lab
Notes:
- So I know it seems I've been away for 6 days or so but it's more that I've not blogged while working on other things
- My work project is really intense a lot of code to manage, so I've needed to work evenings pretty often to get ahead, that's set to continue for a little while, hence...
- I've had to embrace the new style of agent orchestration for dev that we're seeing. Honestly it hurts a little as one of the joys is crafting these projects yourself but I think across the board we'll be moving to humans as code reviewers and so it's best I get the reps in now
- Will I be vibing? I don't know if specdriven agent coding is considered vibing but the way I'll be approaching this is from writing very precise specs that will outline what the agent does and then review on how well it's output has matched those specs. So it's maybe vibe adjacent
Win:
- Setup a dedicated SpecOps lab server with OpenClaw and OpenSpec
- Have generated first test of spec driven development with OpenClaw uing Codex and so far while successful really highlighted the need for human input with a hacky solution given for tests that would not run!
Next:
- Need to get OpenClaw and OpenSpec integrated and learn more about both
- The aim is to write specs for some of the projects I have going on, giving the agent small chunks that I can still manage without just giving up on reviewing the code
- Security, security, security - Need to always make sure both what we're doing is secure and that the code the agent is writing is secure
