Two moments made me start building Loupe. Neither was some grand realization — they were just things that kept happening until I couldn't ignore them.
The first happened several times a day. I'd hand a feature to my AI coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, whichever — and minutes later it would come back: done, tests passing. Green
checkmarks everywhere. But when I actually read what it had written, I kept noticing the same thing: the tests weren't written to check the feature. They were written to pass.
They cleared the bar, let the agent declare victory, and moved on. The code ran. The demo worked. Whether it was actually correct was a separate question — and nobody, human or
machine, had bothered to ask it.
