It's a shame they wait until the end to mention:

> We believe AI software engineers will be a critical piece of infrastructure for every company, customized to their workflows, codebase and business problems.

> We are building a platform to enable that future: tools, context, and sandboxes for AI SWEs.

Ooh, fair point. Did it feel less compelling because we didn't mention that at the top?

It makes it come off like a tutorial mixed up with content marketing which is not a great combo for an HN post.

I see what you mean. So do you think a pure tutorial would have been better?

This is our first HN post so I was trying to strike a good balance between talking about what we think the future will look like and briefly mentioning what we're up to.

I could definitely have kept it to a tutorial, though, and saved the plug for what we're building for a later Show HN or Launch HN.

Not really, one explanation here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26869544

And some more here from the Show HN page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638

There's a longer version of some of these you can just ask dang for.

When something is, essentially, a marketing piece for the author, it is, at least, good manners for the author to mention that upfront.
