Memory is not just a matter of retrieval, it's also a matter of knowing what to retrieve and when.

How about build whatever interface makes sense for the user? Doesn't matter if it's a TUI, GUI, speech interface, or some physically actuated / haptic feedback based system. Do what makes intuitive sense to the user and provi

An agent will read your comment and take it as a challenge to show something can go wrong. Thanks for prompt injecting, mate. /s

This is beautiful, I can't deny that. But the claim that Claude Code is a fixed set of tools is quite wrong. Claude Code regularly generates new code to carry out tasks, and you can choose to promote those tasks to skills, workflows, e

Much of the world believed in geocentrism for a very long time, yet we've known better for a long time now. Currently, this "Ptolemaic" idea of human intelligence being the center of everything sounds similar. What if human i

This is awesome. Thank you for pointing out streaming JSON input and output, I'll definitely be taking a look at that.

Basically, as long as you are using an Anthropic library or tool, you can use your OAuth credentials. For example, you can use the Claude Agent SDK with your OAuth credentials. This is sweet because I can prototype all sorts of agents with

The second paragraph sounds eerily AI-generated.

"Test harness is everything, if you don't have a way of validating the work, the loop will go stray" This is the most important piece to using AI coding agents. They are truly magical machines that can make easy work of a lar

"To come back to my earlier comment, though, my main approach makes sense in this context. I let Opus do the abstract thinking, and then OpenAI's models handle the fine details." Very interesting. I'm going to try this o

Thanks, I'll try those out. I've used Codex CLI itself on a few small projects as well, and fired it up on a feature branch where I had it implement the same feature that Claude Code did (they didn't see each other's imp

Claude Opus 4.5 by far is the most capable development model. I've been using it mainly via Claude Code, and with Cursor. I agree anticompetitive behavior is bad, but the productivity gains to be had by using Anthropic models and tools

Exactly. We're headed for a discontinuity, not an inflection point.

Hey HN! In 2025, I've spent more time than ever conversing with AI coding agents, particularly Claude Code. These conversations are an intimate look into how we think and solve problems. Every chat with the agent contains valuable solu

Exactly. Prompt + Tool + External Dataset (API, file, database, web page, image) is an extremely powerful capability.

But the AI coding agent can then ask you follow up questions, consider angles you may not have, and generate other artifacts like documentation, data generation and migration scripts, tests, CRUD APIs, all in context. If you can reliably do

I expect less time spent on boilerplate and documentation, and more time spent on iterating, experimenting, and increasing customer satisfaction. I also wouldn't accept "I don't know how to do that" as an answer. Instead

Add LLM-powered chat to your app. Translate English into executable JSON commands using just TypeScript, Node, and OpenAI—no frameworks! Start extremely simple and get better at prompt engineering, before delving into things like tool calls

That is funny, because I was a Java developer for many years, then Scala for a few years, and these days I mainly write Python, but the last thing I go for is creating a class. That's generally only when a set of functions in a single

As much as I hate the arbitrary nature of this name change and the sentiment behind it, name changes happen all across the world.
