#12Yes, I think that having the code completely checked by AI is not a good idea, but an AI that says, "Check these," because they are noteworthy. This is my idea of a future where I hope AI is like the movie "Limitless." That is, it supports you in improving yourself and giving you greater capabilities, not in replacing you entirely.

Almost as interesting as humans reviewing code written by a human intern or temp or an offshore dev.
On second thought, exactly as interesting.
Everyone should have been doing XP for 30 years now:

I think that AI coding is only going to grow in usage. I also think that AI more-or-less writes working code that is faithful to the user's prompt.
At the same time, AI does not write code that's easy for humans to review, as it writes very verbosely and with the goal of getting the job done vs producing readable code.
I really don't think humans should be reviewing the absolute mountains of LLM-produced code; doing so would only exhaust someone's cognitive budget.
Therefore, I think that bug finding should be left to AI to review, while architectural decisions should be reviewed by humans.

#15Congratulations, this is a nice concept, this is actually usefull for large corporates with distibuted teams. The only issue is it is very hard these days to sell developer tools to enterprises, every tool any corporate is using these days are trying to inflate their offering with AI stuff. But if you can close them, definately this will be usefull. One more thing, your pricing is quite aggressive at 30/seat.

Thank you for the kind words!
RE Pricing: Because of the high volume of our customers, this is quite necessary unfortunately. We can definitely shift down costs as existing intelligence becomes cheaper though.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah I agree it's a shame. Unfortunately coding has changed fast and I was not confident that the editor was in the correct direction with AI coding becoming so prevalent. I think there is a lot of value with "reconnecting" with your codebase, so I do have some plans to bring the core concept of Haystack back in one form or another.
I am very confident that editor is the direction I want coding to go. I really encourage you to consider picking it up again. Debugging complex graphs of function calls is not going away quite yet.
If you see my reply, I would absolutely love it if you could email akshaysg@haystackeditor.com with some details about your desired use cases!

This looks like a great project! If you're expecting a lot of inbound emails for your use case research, it might be worth running them through an email verification service. This helps ensure you're only contacting valid addresses and reduces bounce rates.
