The good news? Claude figured out the problem and fixed it and now it's working again :)
If you're curious how good (or bad) Claude does, the code is here: github.com/rmoff/kafka-conneโฆ. This is 100% 'vibe' coded (I directed it, but literally don't know Java; the code is all Claude's fault/credit).
Vibe coded a connector for Kafka Connect. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh.
(counterpoint: in the case of this bug, I'm pretty sure a human could have fk'd it up the same way Claude did TBH)

Popular founder advice is: find a niche with a real problem, win it, and expand from there.
We ran that playbook at Responsive for two years. Crossed a $1M run-rate only to find ourselves in a hole with no way out.

You've read the blog post (or have you??), now watch the video. My take on the Developer's Journey: discover, understand, play, build, advocate. You can't reason about DevRel without this. Full video over on the site:
