Super cool! Can you talk a bit about how you built it?

Being one of the people on this list... yes I would personally say it's mainly about agency and determination, and being obsessive/perfectionist about details. I think YC selects f…

I’d also point out that LLM inference revenue already totals more than 100B annually based on publicly reported numbers. Almost none of that is replacing knowledge workers. Almost …

Cool, good to hear. I think it’s often the case even within an individual file or change that it’s 90% routine and 10% critical to review. That’s a big part of the problem in my mi…

Interested to try this! Have you thought about separating the parts of a PR that are routine/uninteresting from the parts that are load-bearing and need more careful review?

I mean it’s quite literally a command line interface to their tool… what else should it be called that differentiates it from a pure browser flow? What you are describing sounds mo…

You can’t get every detail right up front, but you can build a robust foundation from the beginning. The argument seems to be that AI is causing managers to demand faster results, …

You’re assuming that building something robustly is significantly more time consuming than the “quick and dirty” version. But that’s not really true anymore. You might need to spen…

Line by line is no longer what I need to think about. I think about types/schemas, architectural division, contracts between services and components, how to test thoroughly, scalin…

Comment #48017652
That sounds pretty much the same as it’s always been? It used to be: “Does the happy path work? Then ship it! There’s no time to make it robust or clean up tech debt.” Now there ac…

Comment #48009247
That’s also true without AI. Engineers want more time to polish and businesses want to ship the 80/20 solution that’s good enough to sell. There's always going to be a tension ther…

This is a great point. We’re very much in a transitional phase on this, but I personally do see signs in my own work with agents that we are heading toward the main deliverable bei…

If it’s broken and the dev can’t debug it, the business won’t have much of a choice.

If a junior builds something with agents that turns into a mess they can’t debug, that will teach them something. If they care about getting better, they will learn to understand w…

It seems like that could change the math quite a bit, since you’d presumably be losing a lot of capacity to failures. I’d assume you would have a much higher failure rate in space,…

What about maintenance? I’d naively assume that’s the killer.

tmux makes it easy for terminal based agents to talk to each other, while also letting you see output and jump into the conversation on either side. It’s a natural fit.

Gemini 1.5 Pro actually has 2M! No other model from a major lab has matched it since afaik. Edit: err, I see in the comment below mine that Grok has 2M as well. Had no idea!

I built a tool at work that allows claude code and codex to communicate with each other through tmux, using skills. It works quite well.
