There is boundless technology we have not yet discovered. I think that we understand we have problems. I don't believe we actually know how to solve them all. And yeah, the lack of…

I'm not sure if this is meant to be rhetorical. If it isn't: money and manpower. The LLM companies have the money, they have the manpower, and so they could likely spare to target …

I suppose it depends on which types of problems you're targeting. There is a lot of physical science, and theoretical science, that has gaps because there aren't enough people work…

It's a tad petty, no? In the end, the contribution to a healthier society leads to more for the companies contributing.

I would love more time and money put into real-world problems by these companies. Climate, food insecurity, pollution, technology for convenience and/or to help people have a highe…

There's something to be said about controlling the tools you allow the robot to exec.

... Yeah, that was my issue as well. I'm pretty sure it _is_ AI generated, and flagged it. Hopefully moderation can follow up.

Perhaps in a small codebase without issue tracking this might be something leverage. It's just not reasonable with 100k+ lines of enterprise grade code.

You might be approaching PR comments differently than I've seen. When a comment is something to be addressed, it's either put into a new development task (i.e. on something like Ji…

Some subscriptions offer "unlimited tokens" for certain models. i.e. GitHub co-pilot can be unlimited for GPT-4o and GPT-4.1 (and, actually, GPT-5 mini!). So: I spent some time wit…

Find another developer and pair/work together on a project. It doesn't need to be serious, but you should organize it like it is. So, a breakdown of tasks needed to accomplish the …

I like reading these types of breakdowns. Really gives you ideas and insight into how others are approaching development with agents. I'm surprised the author hasn't broken down th…

Aren't down votes on this forum restricted to 500+ karma? And how would those compare to flagging? I'd hate for people under 500 karma to think they need to flag a post in order to…

In our org that would not fly. They would be required to break it down. Did you or anyone tell them they need to make it readable for the rest of the team?

I understand where you're coming from, and think there is something missing in your final paragraph that I'm curious to understand. If LLMs do end up improving productivity, what w…

It's definitely sort of that. You can run your own server, as well, though this comes with its own limitations (and inherently takes away from the want for more players). Most of t…

Ask HN: Which tools, skills, and knowledge are your alternative to LLMs?
A lot of folks are upskilling themselves on how to effectively use LLMs for tasks such as software development, planning, writing, and more. Along with doing this, I think it's imp…
