Michael Shimeles, known as Micky or Ras Mic, is a full-stack engineer who builds open-source applications and teaches workflows for developing software with AI agents.[1][2][3][4]

Career
His GitHub portfolio includes Rust applications for screen recording, a trading terminal and a Bible reader, alongside the agent-workflow tools. Boring Computers describes itself as an AI consultancy and software factory and links directly to his Ras Mic account. The public work gives readers both reusable development instructions and concrete applications through which to examine them.[1][4]
Contributions
His rstack repository packages skills and an AGENTS.md template for that process. Its testing workflow asks agents to demonstrate an application’s behavior, including before-and-after recordings when appropriate. Its review loop uses an external code reviewer and returns unresolved issues for correction. These instructions help make work inspectable, while the interview describes Shimeles retaining a human review step before software reaches users.[2][3]
Ideas
Shimeles organizes agent-assisted development into four steps: isolate a task, build within a defined code structure, prove the result and review it for shipping. In his Behind the Craft interview, he explains how separate Git worktrees let agents work without editing the same checkout. The structure step gives them conventions for services, inputs and return values, so the resulting code follows a coherent architecture.[2]
