TDD + AI: The "No-Excuse" Era is Here 🤖

AI writes the boilerplate now—so why are you still skipping tests? In the age of Agents, TDD is the only way to verify hallucinations.

🔴 Red: Use the test as your prompt.

🟢 Green: Let the Agent pass it.

🔵 Refactor: Clean the AI's "mess" with confidence.

If you aren't enforcing high coverage and static analysis while using AI, you aren't "innovating"—you're just shipping technical debt at a higher velocity.

Stop building fragile systems. If you aren't testing, you're just guessing 🚀

I hate managing ipsec shit, too bad hetzner doesn't have a fully managed VPN service

I'm about to vibe code a VPN management app

My IPsec usecase is not like OpenVPN, Wireguard or like ProtonVPN.

It's for site-to-site secure connectivity like our server to telebirr server, or x bank servers. The only VPN protocol they support is IPsec which is old af but does the job well.

Most big cloud providers have a built in VPN managers (like AWS, Azure, even Telecoud) but the smaller ones like digital ocean, hetzner doesn't provide a built it managed VPN service.

Also big commercial firewalls support that, usually with a web management, thats how the banks manage multiple site-to-site connections. One of the banks security admin told me they use checkpoint firewall and bought only 50 licenses and need to buy a expensive yearly subscription for each ipsec connectivity.

There are tools with web management but ipsec is like 10% of the feature they support, too complicated, too many bells and whistles. You can do it using strongswan and cli commands but the config and management is hell-ish when you have multiple site-to-site connections.
