Why coding agents should work on a copy of your repo
A coding agent should work on its own copy of your repository, on its own branch, so that nothing it does touches your working files until you have read the diff and merged it yourself.
- Coding agents should work on a copy of your repository on a separate branch.
- Git worktrees enable multiple working directories within a single repository for agent tasks.

I built a referral leaderboard that ignores page views. Here's the credit model.
Most referral leaderboards count the wrong thing. They count clicks or visits, and the moment a visit is worth something, somebody points a traffic tool at it and the board is over. I wanted to see what a leaderboard looks like if a visit is worth nothing. The result is ViralRefer, a free referral race.
- ViralRefer's referral leaderboard ignores page views, countering manipulable clicks.
- Users earn credits by friends performing the same action, not just viewing the link.
- The system is fair, with 26 language variants and Cloudflare Pages hosting.
