>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 have it (claude, codex) summarise what we've discussed about a design, big change, put it in an MD file and then I correct it, have it re-read it and then do the change.

Then later if it goes off piste in another session tell it to re-read the ADDs for x, y and z.

If someone could make that process less clunky, that would be great. However it's very much not just funnel every turd uttered in the prompt onto a git branch and trying a chug the lot down every session.

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...

You know the only effective way to do that, right?

Claude create a clone of Hacker News, no mistakes. Must compile.

Christ, a $60m seed round. The AI fatigue is real, and the cooling-off period is going to hurt. We’re deep into concept overload now. Every week it’s another tool (don’t get me started on Gas Town) confidently claiming to solve… something. “Faster development”, apparently. Unless you’re already ideologically committed to this space, I don’t see how the average engineer has the energy or motivation to even understand…

Maybe just learning 1 or 2 of such tools is enough ?

Probably, but which ones, do we get to a place where you have X years experience in Gastown development, but I only have Y years experience in Entire.

I also keep getting job applications for AI-native 'developers' whatever that means.

Your point about the overwhelming proliferation of AI tools and not knowing which are worth any attention and which are trash is very true I feel that a lot today (my solution is basically to just lean into one or two and ask for recommendations on other tools with mixed success).

The “I’m so tired of being told we’re in another paradigm shift” comments are widely heard and upvoted on HN and are just so hard to comprehend today. They are not seeing the writing on the wall and following where the ball is going to be even in 6-12 months. We have scaling laws, multiple METR benchmarks, internal and external evals of a variety of flavors.

“Tools like codex can be useful in small doses” the best and most prestigious engineers I know inside and outside my company do not code virtually at all. I’m not one of them but I also do not code at all whatsoever. Agents are sufficiently powerful to justify and explain themselves and walk you through as much of the code as you want them to.

You will learn a lot about the underlying LLM / technology whichever tool you use though

> Web sites are the new banner ads and headings like that are the new ` `. It's been like this since the Dotcom era Or did you forget that you can do anything at zombo.com? It appears to be rather slow today, but here's a Wiki link for the uninitiated- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com

The domain expired a few days ago and was purchased by someone else and then changed. There's a recreation of the original here https://html5zombo.com/

Its like a modern day redux of zombo com.

That’s a bit insulting to zombo.com.
