Editor extensionSession 042 · Ready
Build software. Don’t just prompt it.
Somewhere along the way, coding stopped being fun.
Human Mode is a switch in your editor. Turn it on and AI stops writing. It hints, explains and reviews while you drive.
function tokenize(input: string) {
const tokens = [];
let i = 0;
while (i < input.length) {
const ch = input[i];
if (/\s/.test(ch)) { i++; continue; }
if (ch === '(')Assistant · Navigator
Hint: you’re skipping whitespace nicely. What should happen when you hit a ( ? Think about what the parser needs later.
I can read, explain, hint and review. The keyboard is yours.

§ 01 · How it works
Three steps. One switch.
Step 1/3
Switch it on
Start a session in your editor. One switch. The record light comes on.
Session start
Step 2/3
You drive, AI navigates
Ask for hints and reviews. Like pairing with someone who refuses to grab your keyboard.
0 AI inserts
Step 3/3
Keep the proof
Get a verified session card when you stop. Build a streak, one day at a time.
1 card per session
§ 02 · A session
Like a run log, for code.
Every session leaves a card: how long you worked, how much you wrote by hand, what you figured out.

Keystroke activity · 19:12 – 19:59
- 47min
- Time on
- Minutes with the switch on. Idle time over 5 minutes is not counted.
- 132
- Lines by hand
- Lines you typed yourself. Pasted blocks are not counted.
- 0
- AI inserts
- Times the assistant wrote into your files. In Human Mode the target is 0.
- 3
- Test runs
- Times you ran your tests. Proof you checked your own work.
The extension records these numbers while you work. You choose when to share.
§ 03 · Streak
Show up. Count the days.
12
Day streak
46
Sessions · 12 weeks
12 day streak, 46 sessions in 12 weeks.
A streak counts sessions, not app opens.
§ 04 · Principles
P.01
We don't reward less AI. We reward more human involvement.
For developers who use AI every day and still want some of their time back at the wheel.
P.02
Your code never leaves your machine.
Verification happens locally in the extension. Only the session summary syncs, and only if you choose to share it.
P.03
You press record.
Nothing is tracked until you start a session. Stop it whenever you like. Share a session, keep it to yourself, or delete it.
