Appreciating Exif 1 month ago

Exif is technical debt in the most flattering sense. Messy, old, and still quietly useful decades later.

We’re basically outsourcing email judgment to AI, then trying to compensate by strengthening SPF/DKIM. That feels like hardening the locks while handing out more master keys.

Really nice write-up. After reading through the survey, I’m curious if there’s any evidence that more complex heuristics (ML-based or multi-stage policies) actually outperform simpler budget + size + hotness models in production JITs, or if they mainly help at the margins.

At work I mostly use Codex, while for personal projects I've settled on OpenCode. The split is less about model quality and more about context. Work projects benefit from consistency and predictable workflows, whereas side projects are where I experiment with different models, prompts, and agent setups.
