    I'm a little confused. An agent's value-add is to automate what a human actor (in this case, an SRE) does and thus reduces the time taken to recovery, etc. A human SRE never manual…

    There’s only one solution to this problem at this point. Make AI significantly less affordable and accessible. Raise the prices of Pro / Plus / max / ultra tiers, introduce time li…

    Fair point - my statement is more about stealing market for simpler integrations by undercutting them on price. And I don't want to trivialize the reality of enterprise platforms w…

    I would be in the skeptics' camp 3-4 months ago. Opus-4.5 and GPT-5.2 have changed my mind. I'm not talking about mere code completion. I am talking about these models AND the corr…

    Coding/programming as a skill differentiator is most likely "dead" - software DEVELOPMENT will indeed live on but it will need a higher degree of well-roundedness and ownership (wh…

    The key is that at the end of the day productivity is king which is a polite term for cutting head count and/or delivering at a ridiculously higher velocity. You can deterministica…

    I've always felt that DevOps became a function/team partly because companies and especially SWE's started complaining that they were spending too much time "doing Ops work" and pro…

    Don't want to get too deep into your analogy. I was addressing the "DevOps cannot code" part. To me it is a leadership failure if a DevOps team is still afraid of tackling bigger c…

    My message to the CTO of Honeycomb.io (who apparently wrote this post): please avoid getting philosophical and controversial to gin up curiosity about your AI platform. If you want…

    At a scale, I don't see a net negative of AI merging "shit by itself" if the developer (or the agent) is ensuring sufficient e2e, integration and unit test coverage prior to every …

    I think the opposite will happen - leadership will forego this attitude of "reverse course on the first outage". Teams will figure out how to mitigate such situations in future wit…

    It's simple -- the more high-minded and snobbish the developer class will be (thus extracting the highest salaries in the world) and as long as they will continue to maintain this …

    I can't wait for indie developers to build super-agents that commoditize providers like Honeycomb.io and more importantly clone all their features and offer them up for free as OSS…

    I thought hooks are always fired if you use it as a PreToolUse event. Wouldn’t that work for the GitHub action tools from the GitHub mcp?

    I have dystonia which often stiffens my arms in a way that makes it impossible for me to type on a keyboard. TTS apps like SuperWhisper have proven to be very helpful for me in suc…

    So what if this was vibe-coded? How do you know this was a "slop" if you did not try it?

    I hope 2026 will be the year when software engineers and recruiters will stop the obsession with leetcode and all other forms of competitive programming bullshit

    Ask HN: Are Google Search AI hallucinations common?
