I think your last point is the important one. I don't mind vibe coded app if they are polished. But a polished vibe coded app looks like a non-vibe-coded app because of the polishing. The polishing is 95% of the effort. This app here l

A bit off-topic, but it's interesting how the first thing I check now is whether this is a vibe coded app (which it seems to be) or something that had serious effort put into it.

I don't think your Github example is accurate. The vast majority of developers started using git after Github became a thing. They may have used svn or another type of collaboration system before, but not git. And the main reason they

Can you explain more how otel traces solve this problem? I don't understand how it's related.

It's definitely a bot, just like probably around 10% of comments on HN at this point, and the majority of upvotes. And it's only increasing. Calling it bot is a bit dismissive though. It's an agent!

But if you run e.g. Claude/Codex/opencode/etc locally you also have access to your local machine and network? What is the difference?

But can't you do the same using appropriate MCP servers with any of the LLM providers? Even just a generic browser MCP is probably enough to do most of these things. And ChatGPT has Tasks that are also proactive/scheduled. Not sur

What are people using these things for? The use cases I've seen look a bit contrived and I could ask Claude or ChatGPT to do it directly

I am afraid I cannot fulfill your request. But would you like to book a vacation in Napa Valley at 15% discount?

This is a very insightful post sonniya and a perfect fit for Hacker News (HN). Is there anything I can help you with today?

Okay, but most of the time you can't prompt your AI to successfully debug you out of problems if you don't understand code. Or when you do the AI will solve the problem in a way that creates a dozen more cascading problems an hour

Captcha is a completely useless system trivially solved by many agents and services. The only thing captcha does is annoy humans. I do agree with the problem, but I don't know what a solution would look like outside of government ident

In the six years you are using your computer, do you ever expect to run into versioning issues and conflicts? Homebrew packages conflicting with local packages, something you compile give needs a different python/ruby/node/ru

I think what it comes down to, and where many people get confused, is separating the technology itself from how we use it. The technology itself is incredible for learning new skills, but at the same time it incentivizes people to not learn

You absolutely need to spend money in PoE to buy stash tabs. It's basically mandatory if you play regularly. The difference to most dark patterns is that the spending has a very low cap. Once you've spent $50 or so on stash tabs y

I don't really see how examples are useful because you're not going to understand the context. My prompt may be something like "We recently added a new transcription backend api (see recent git commits), integrate it into the

It doesn't feel off to me because that's the exact experience I've had as well. So it's unsurprising to me that many other people share that experience. I'm sure there is a bunch of paid promotion going on for all k

Interesting, my experience has been the opposite. I've been running Codex and Sonnet 4.5 side by side the past few weeks, and Codex gives me better results 90% of the time, pretty much across all tasks. Where Claude really shines is th

Yeah, reading the docs it seems you are right. The landing page mentions AI-native at the very top and all over the place, so I got the wrong impression that it's somehow tightly coupled to an AI integration. But looks like it's o

I wish this didn't have AI in it. I've been looking for a Jupyter alternative that is pure python and can be modified from a regular text editor. Jupytext works okay, but I miss the advanced Jupyter features. But I really don&#x27

That sounds more like an organizational problem. If you are an employee that doesn't care about maintainability of code, e.g. a freelancer working on a project you will never touch again after your contract is over, your incentive has

I've experienced similar things, but my conclusion has usually been that the model is not receiving enough context in such cases. I don't know your specific example, but in general it may not be incorrect to put an Arc/Lock o

Yeah, it has been really good in my experience. I've done some niche WASM stuff with custom memory layouts and parallelism and it did great there too, probably better than I could've done without spending several hours reading up

I often use that time to spec out a future task. Either by going through Github issues, doing some research and adding details, or by spinning up another codex/claude session to create a detailed design document for a future task and i

Reading HN I seem to be in the minority but AI has made programming a lot more fun for me. I've been an engineer for nearly 25 years and 95% of the work is rather mindless boilerplate. I know exactly what I need to do next, it just tak
