We went from having new JavaScript frameworks every week to having new AI frameworks every week. I'm thinking I should build a HN clone that filters out all posts about AI topics...

Looking at the most popular agent skills, heavily geared towards react and JS, I think a lot of the most breathless reports of LLM success are weighted towards the same group of fashion-dependant JavaScript developers. The same very online group endlessly hyping messy techs and frontend JS frameworks, oblivious to the Facebook and Google sized mechanics driving said frameworks, are now 100x-ing themselves with things…

Ironically, using LLM’s for React is an exercise in pain, because they’re all trained on the lowest common denominator. So even Opus is constantly fighting stupid reactivity bugs.

Already at a $300 million valuation at seed. Who’s going to join this as a regular IC who gets a pittance in options? I can’t imagine the risk matches the modest potential upside.

They'll hire one guy to vibe code like ai.com thing

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s good to know that a few decades later the same generic Dropbox-weekend take can be made.

Survivorship bias. How many failed and commenters were right?

predicting that a startup will fail is.. well, you got a ton of probability on your side there. so it isn't a particularly impressive thing to be right about.

Sure... you `git add` the context text generated by AI and `git commit` it, could be useful. Is that worth 60 million?

They raised 60 million. The investors think it’s worth 600M+

It's the valuation that is wild to me (I think the idea itself has merit). But these are the new economics. I can only say "that's wild" enough before it is in fact no longer wild.

>CLI to tie agent context into Git on every push. Is this the product? I don't want to jump on the detractor wagon, but I read the post and watched the video, and all I gathered is that it dumps the context into the commit. I already do this.

> I already do this. Hows your ability to get an enterprise to mandate their 5000 employees to use it? That's what most of these types of rounds are about.

Uuh easy fire them all and replace with said agents

> Checkpoints are a new primitive that automatically captures agent context as first-class, versioned data in Git. When you commit code generated by an agent, Checkpoints capture the full session alongside the commit: the transcript, prompts, files touched, token usage, tool calls and more. This thread is extremely negative - if you can't see the value in this, I don't know what to tell you.

300 million, apparently.

I think the moat depends on how long it takes for an agent to ingest the entire commit history and product documentation into context on the fly. At the rate models are improving, seeing the reasoning chain of an outdated model that led to a commit that warrants post-hoc review (likely becuase of a bug) would mainly be useful for root cause analysis more than for insight into what to do next... but chances are the newer model would have been able to infer it from local context anyway.

It also creates a challenge with respect with the embedding model chosen and how future proof it turns out to be.

With the how AI companies are advertising we can just tell the AI what we want and it will be done with no additional human interaction needed, why do we need a new type of development platform? We shouldn't need to collaborate at all.

Ignoring the VC economics and awful name, I won’t be as pessimistic as everyone. I see the vision. That said, nobody knows what the AI future looks like. Entire’s entire thesis is a solution for something we don’t even know we need. It’s a massive bet and uphill battle. Traditionally, dev tool success stories come from grassroots projects of developers solving their own problems and not massive VC funded efforts that…

I feel like it says a lot if this is the not pessimistic take.
