Very cool from a market intelligence perspective, but somewhat concerning from a 'creating adverse incentives' perspective -- e.g., what stops someone from placing bets on these ma…

I'd imagine there's a positive correlation between "uses AI" and productivity, but I expect that to be somewhat moderated by how "well" they use AI. It's very easy to churn out cod…

Enterprises would be my guess. At its current price, though, I honestly don't find Fable worth it (it's good, just too expensive).

I feel like it's gotten marginally better (certainly, relative to a few months ago in the subreddits I frequent), but it's unclear how much of that is Reddit, Inc.-driven vs. per-s…

Hey HN, I wanted to share an open source plugin + skills I put together that turn Claude Code into a job search assistant. The goal is to minimize the amount of time needed to find…

I think the “tool search” and “code mode” counter-arguments against the “MCP eats your context” argument is a bit hand-wavy. Progressive disclosure has obvious benefits, but I thin…

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but this article appears to be misleading. The title and content suggest that it's about AI-native distribution, and that MCP servers are th…

Hey HN, Justin here, and we’re building agent-data: a CLI tool that gives AI agents access to real-time, structured data without requiring them to use browser automation. The idea …

One recommendation would be to create a skill (name_of_your_internal_tool/SKILL.md) describing how the agent should use the tool(s) you're working with. This allows you to progress…

Re: open-source harnesses, ForgeCode appears to be pretty good (currently, #1 on Terminal Bench 2.0 -- https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0 ). Re: open models, Kimi…

Very cool! Seems like this would be a great way to support group planning (e.g., "work with friend-1-agent, ..., friend-n-agent to [plan a trip, organize a dinner, etc.]")

Looks really interesting -- quick question though: how does this differ from hooks (e.g., https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks )?

I didn't notice any signs of AI writing until seeing this comment and re-reading (though I did notice it on the second pass). That said, I think this article demonstrates that focu…

Agreed -- coding agents / LLMs are definitely imperfect, but it's always hard to contextualize "it failed at X" without knowing exactly what X was (or how the agent was instructed …

Good point – we’ve definitely noticed a lot more Cloudflare representation these days. That said, there seems to be tiers in terms of the protection they offer (and thus the protec…

Haha I appreciate that! And that’s exactly right. Our goal is to make it so that you don’t have to ask the question “but is it worth the time and effort…” when you want to use or e…

Hey HN, Justin here. We’re building Motie ( https://app.motie.dev ), an AI agent that extracts structured data from the web and generates web scraping code, using natural language.…
