acai.sh blog

Blog at https://acai.sh/blog attached to the acai.sh toolkit. Author is anonymous on the site (single-developer feel — first-person, recovery-from-overengineering framing, distinctive playful voice).

Topical focus is spec-driven development applied to LLM-assisted coding: ACIDs, feature.yaml, acceptance coverage, and the broader "what part of the work survives when code generation is cheap" question. Adjacent in spirit to handyai-blog (PM-flavored anti-theater AI coverage) and 0xsid-blog (practical agentic-coding takes), but more language-design-flavored — closer in shape to a tool author writing about why their tool exists.

Style notes

The voice is unusual for a tool-author blog. Self-deprecating ("AI psychosis," "embarrassingly I did not know about any of these," "I suffer from Not Invented Here syndrome"), heavy on parenthetical asides, willing to take strong positions on adjacent tools (SpecKit, OpenSpec, Kiro, Traycer.ai). Treats "Future Gazing" thought experiments as a legitimate blog form rather than padding.

The author is also willing to argue against their own product where it doesn't fit — the "Reasons you might not like acai.sh" section is unusually candid for a tool launch piece.
