pokAI reads and drafts — sending stays manual

Situation

Mile has gone quiet on every signal we can see: no commits in his own repos for 88 days, nothing in the 1:1 chat for 25 days (so nothing at all in the 21-day window), and no group-project activity in the 30-day active window either — his last group contribution was also 88 days ago. Meanwhile the RocketVideo team shipped 28 commits in the window and had an active merge conversation on 26 August, none of it his. His Trello card has sat on '99 - Group Project' for 89 days, which lines up with the date his commits stopped; the only time-tracking note is over three years old and tells us nothing current. Worth noting that his assigned coach Alexandros was reported on vacation on 26 August, so the silence may be partly a gap in contact rather than only on Mile's side.

Concerns

  • Three months of silence across own repos, the group repo and the 1:1 chat — this is the pattern of someone who has drifted out rather than gone heads-down.
  • Both tracks are stopped at the same time: no own-exercise work and no group work. There is no track that is still moving.
  • The team has moved a long way (xunit test project merged, driprules merged into dev) since he was last involved, so re-entry gets harder the longer this runs.

Drafts

Edit freely, then copy. pokAI never sends anything — you paste it into WhatsApp yourself.

warm re-entry, low pressure
why this, now

Silence with nothing behind it needs a direct, judgement-free open door first. It names what he can see we can see (no commits, no messages) without assuming a reason.

concrete group-project hook
why this, now

Gives him a real reason to reply and removes the 'I'm too far behind now' excuse by offering a fresh slice. References specific team work from the window rather than 'how's the project going'.

accountability check
why this, now

After 89 days on one card and 88 days without a commit, a plain accountability ask with a small concrete deliverable is appropriate. Requests a time without inventing any call or deadline that already exists.

Open questions

What the data does not answer.

  • What was the last 1:1 exchange actually about? The transcript content wasn't surfaced here, only that the newest message is 25 days old — the coach should read the tail before sending.
  • Was Mile assigned a specific piece of RocketVideo (a branch, an issue, a review) that is now sitting unclaimed? Nothing in the signals says what his part is.
  • Is there a life or work reason for the pause — holiday, job change, health — that was communicated somewhere outside these signals?
  • Did the coach handover during Alexandros's vacation leave Mile without anyone checking in?

Evidence

  • No commits by Mile in the 21-day window; his last own commit was 88 days ago across 3 reposGitHub
  • No messages from Mile in the 1:1 group during the window; the chat read fine and the most recent message is 25 days oldWhatsApp 1:1 (read successfully, 12 older messages)
  • No group-project commits or messages in the 30-day active window; last group activity was 88 days agoGroup project signals, AeonBytes/RocketVideo
  • The team is clearly moving without him: 28 commits in the window, 0 of them hisShared repo AeonBytes/RocketVideo
  • Team was actively coordinating merges on 26 August (Kata's driprules PR, Björn talking her through rebasing on latest dev) with no participation from MileWhatsApp group 'RocketVideo' 26 Aug
  • Trello card has been on '99 - Group Project' for 89 days, matching the point his commits stoppedTrello
  • Only time-tracking note is 1186 days old and refers to a slot machine exercise, i.e. unusable as current signalTrello time-tracking entry

Signals

Gathered 1 h ago, looking back to 10 Aug 2026.

WhatsApp — 1:1 - Mile M. 0 in window, 12 seen

Read fine, but nobody has said anything inside the window. Last message 25 days ago.

Group project last active 89 d ago — 1 commit(s), 0 message(s)

In the project because of the 'Group Project' label on their card, commits to AeonBytes/RocketVideo. Judged over 30 days, because the project moves slowly — their own work above is judged on the sweep window.

    This is my last comment on this driprule PR
  2. Florian Rakete26 Aug 08:12
    alex is on vacation, so we'll not wait
  3. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 08:15
    Ok I will merge it tonight then
  4. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 20:54
    @Florian Rakete I want to merge it but these checks have failed (i solved all other conflicts)
  5. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:01
    yay what did I do? I did not even merge it yet
  6. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:04
    Well - this PR is a bit old no? there might be a diff between what you have and how dev actually looks now
  7. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:04
    probably yes
  8. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:04
    So - merging dev back into your branch - dealing with the shenanigans - then it should pass
  9. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:06
    My comment might be a tad confusing
  10. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
    but basically you based your branch on a older dev
  11. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
    dev is now ahead
  12. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
    this may or may not be an issue, usually its not
  13. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
    so you would want to base your branch on latest dev
  14. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:07
    working on it
  15. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:27
    @CLIENT Björn Nillson
  16. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28
    merged dev back into driprules
  17. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28
    now all greeen
  18. CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28
    can I merge now driprules into dev?
  19. CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:29
