Hey HN! We have a Slack group with 30+ people and introduced this agent as a way for non-engs to push simple PRs and changes. This saves engs valuable time and context switching co…

What a lot of people don’t mention here is the choice of an AI model. The key word in the OP post is “Claude”. Anthropic has 2 amazing AI models (Sonnet, Opus), however they’re jus…

You could also use these AI coding features on a plug-and-play basis with an IDE extension. For example, VS Code has Cline & Kilo Code (disclaimer: I help maintain Kilo). Jetbrains…

I've been a software developer for over 8 years and recently started using AI to help me code. The OSS project I'm currently working on (Kilo Code [1]) basically also attracts the …

There are already a bunch of open source, free, and popular "AI coding agent" extensions for VS Code: 1) Cline (1.4mil downloads) 2) Roo Code (a fork of Cline, 450k downloads) Stil…

We're reaching a point where we don't need to switch to another IDE (from VS Code/IntelliJ/insert-your-IDE-here) for "AI/vibe coding" IDEs can support "AI coding agents" on their o…

1. Kilo Code works inside VS Code. Aider works inside the terminal. 2. Kilo is a feature-merge of Roo+Cline+our own features. This means at least 20 new features are added weekly.

There are already VS Code extensions (Cline, Roo Code and Kilo Code) that do the same + are much better IMO. Disclaimer: I'm one of the maintainers of Kilo.

Why do we need a new IDE for "AI/vibe coding"? The entire workflow for "AI coding agents" boils down to: 1. You write a prompt 2. The agent wraps it in a system prompt and sends it…

Numbering != level of improvements in this case.

I had an idea for creating a crowdsourced database of AI prompts that no AI model could yet crack (wanted to use some of them as we're adding new models to Kilo Code). I've seen a …

Proof that even developers fall for "marketing schemes".
