I have consulted for CEO’s and other executives who think like this. You certainly dodged a bullet.

Looks cool, congrats on the launch. Is there any sandbox isolation from the k8s platform layer? Wondering if this is suitable for multiple tenants or customers.

I was a mentor for an all girls high school FIRST team and I have to say, the way they were treated at competition by other teams and the way the organization handled that sexual objectification of them at competition leads me to a “that ch

HN comments on LLM agents are bi-modal now, as are views in the general population. The modes are adopters and non-adopters. There isn’t much of a middle ground anymore.

Is that not pointless now? The point of writing was previously to communicate our thoughts and ideas to other people. Now and going forward that is unnecessary. The most efficient and effective way for us to communicate our thoughts and

Why the downvotes? It is the defining characteristic of the staff+ level to empower others. Individual contributions don’t matter at this level.

I have a single wrap function that does this for all errors. The top level handler only prints the first two, but can print all if needed. I have never had difficulty quickly finding the error given only the top two stack sites. Any complai

This is correct. Had lunch with a senior staff engineer going for a promo to principal soon. He explained he was early to CC, became way more productive than his peers, and got the staff promo. Now he’s not sharing how he uses the agent so

And yet it is correct. The most valuable engineers today are those who have maintained and expanded the 0..v1 crap from others, and are now driven and ambitious enough to go build the next generation of 0..v1. Armed with that experience, t

Will the adoption of this RFC prevent corporate MITM attacks like Zscaler TLS inspection?

It is remarkably effective to have Claude Code do the code review and assign a quality score, call it a grade, to the contribution derived from your own expectations of quality. Then don’t even bother looking at C work or below.

It’s telling the best MCP implementations are those which are a CLI to handle the auth flow then allow the agent to invoke it and return results to stdout. But even those are not better for agent use than the human cli counterpart.

That’s a feature not a bug.

My statement applies equally to startups and nasdaq 100 enterprises alike. I’m not following this ambulance analogy.

The point being we can simply tell our agents to start at the rug pull point and implement the same features and bug fixes on the Apache fork referring to the AGPL implementation.

I re-read your post three times and cannot see how your first hand account of this practice does not square perfectly and ring true with the assertion Amazon has put in place a “widespread scheme to inflate prices.” Edit: including how they

It’s pretty clear they effectively take on the roles of various software related personas. Designer, coder, architect, auditor, etc… Pretending otherwise is counter-productive. This ship has already sailed, it is fairly clear the best way

Is this intended to deploy onto k8s?

This was previously true but no longer. Anyone who sends an email instead of a DM for something requiring a 24 hour turn around bears the responsibility for any resulting delay in 2026.

Look it’s obvious at this point to anyone who is actually using the tools. We can articulate it but why should we bother when it’s so obvious. We are at an inflection point where discussion about this, even on HN, is useless until the peopl

In practice using someone else’s framework means you’re accepting the risk of the thousands of bugs in the framework that have no relevance to your business use case and will never be fixed.

They are the people who have the design sense of someone like Rob Pike but lack his coding skill. These people are now 100x more capable than they were previously.

This comment ignores the key insight of the article. Design is what matters most now. Design is the difference between vibe coding and software engineering. Given a good design, software engineers today are 100x more productive. What they p

The correct meaning has always been 1024 bytes where I’m from. Then I worked with more people like you. Now, it depends.
