    Why don't AI coding tools like REST?

    Is it just me, or do AI coding tools tend to generate RPC-style endpoints and POST methods (even when GET is clearly all that is needed) instead of following RESTful conventions? G…

    On the same track: https://x.com/Khaliqgant/status/2019124627860050109 Here he mentions "Store trajectories " is a tent pole to see vectors of work over time which goes back to the…

    I have a similar flow, but do you connect that back to roadmap, tickets, or workflow for posterity or tracking? Also, some say they use the tickets themselves for the prompt and ha…

    like with most agentic dev I do these days, I go between "I need this" to "I used to need this when humans were involved but is it just vestigial" a lot. In this case, why am I doc…

    Ask HN: Does anyone keep prompts and reasoning as part of dev cycle?

    We've never been able to read developers' minds, so we relied on documentation and comments to capture intent, decisions, and context even though most engineers dislike writing it …

    Ask HN: Is managing AI features fundamentally different from traditional coding?

    My team is working hard, but we're struggling to break work into measurable stories and tasks the way we used to. Now that we’re building AI-based processes and response systems, s…

    What a cool concept to turn the SM 140 chars concept into a programming demo list! Is there a reverse to this that work to compress a JS script into 140 chars to help show some cre…

    A friend of mine is using N8N a lot, but he isn't a developer and I think that is the main reason. I think LangChain is the most popular, but there is always a trade off between up…

    Interesting. I use a lot of python and nodejs for my apps, maybe this shell angle is a weird quirk I developed for no particular reason. I keep a seperate repo called “manager” and…

    There is a reshaping of what we think is “right”. Like, I am less and less interested in SDKs since I can just ask for a lightweight, custom, integration into anything I want based…

    Ask HN: Is There a Shell Revival?

    I’ve used shell scripts before, but mostly in a pretty limited way with other people’s open source scripts to do something specific, or the occasional one off to clean up a drive. …

    Finance people are funny. They are so wrong when you hear their logic and references, but I also realized it doesn't matter. It is trends they try to predict, fuzzy directional sig…

    What you make of this memo really depends on who you are and how you're positioned. The dot-com era was absolutely a bubble. Tons of companies died, but the internet itself didn't …

    I feel like it allows me do more of the fun bits of coding and creating. It's not too different than giving the easy/basic/annoying stuff to consultants and less senior engineers. …

    How to get your app noticed by those who matter

    I'm not looking for low hanging fruit, and I'm definitely not looking for links to products that "change the world." No attention sneakers. What I want to glean is: when you say, "…

    No mentioned of Xerox in there. You can't have a mac/win recap without a blip about Xerox getting abused.

    This is perfect for AI video creation. Everyone is dead so you can easily get likeness for the actors and produce a teaser real for pennies on the dollar. Did you try that yet? Thr…

    I haven't had time to experiment with it yet. How is agent directed development doing with Rust 0-to-1 an 1-inf. product gen?

    Don't they have to cache in order to access the tools quickly enough to run the agents? I imagine not doing slow would slow down the progress considerably. Or, maybe I misunderstan…

    Takes a min to load even when it shows the circle complete. But a 1-2xrefreshes load it and yes, it is pretty sick. Wish you could zoom out more though. Nice work to Bruno!

    My gut reaction is, if AI was really good at vibe coding all the infra it could be nice, but getting C deployed and productized is the potential challenge. The "roads" we built for…
