Two questions 1) Do you not feel self-conscious or weird about calling this "EvanFlow"? Seems like a lot of people these days are naming their AI tools/skills/whatever after themselves which seems self-absorbed. Either that or they hope that if their thing takes off like OpenClaw did then they'll grab the fame that comes along with it. 2) Why does your TDD flow miss the refactor step of TDD?

I feel like 1 is a self correcting problem. If this goes nowhere it will soon be forgotten. I can think of one example that did go somewhere: Linux.

ReiserFS is another one that comes to mind.

And djb (the djb) also wrote djbdns.

There are plenty of examples, usually when it coincides with someone’s first project.

Please don’t post AI generated comments :( Just write it yourself. I promise it’s worth it

He's even being cheeky by intentionally replacing the em-dash by a regular dash, haha

It's quite well done really, but the cadence...

No x. No y. No z. Just abc.

Its like nails on a chalkboard...

Let the guy have something. Free and open source developers work tirelessly for free for years supporting software that billion dollar companies use to make huge profits.

We don't question when scientists name stuff after themselves so why question this? At least he gets some recognition for his work.

Linus did not name it Linux himself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Naming

He merely laundered it through a coworker.

To be honest, the official superpowers/brainstorming skill already does TDD so well, I don't see that much of a need for this. TDD is definitely the way to go with agentic development.

how?i saw superpowers/brainstorming but never saw tdd code produced

It’s supposed to do this, but I’ve found it doesn’t always do it

TDD in 2026? Besides, TDDs main benefit is to come up with a decent architecture for your system… LLMs can already do that if instructed. I don’t see the point of TDD

I've always been hesitant to prescribe TDD to _everything_ until agentic coding agents came along. TDD is a great way to keep them on track.

1) Do you feel weird asking a question like this? What constructive benefit does it add to any dialogue?

Sometimes it’s helpful to ask oneself what’s the benefit of an answer. I cannot think of any for your question and the way you worded it is a bit cringe. People name things after themselves all the time. It does not matter in the slightest.

TanStack was started by a guy named Tanner

Debian is a portmanteau of Debra (Ian's girlfriend) and Ian.

I don't mind it. It's just a name
