How do you make sure they aren’t using AI to pretend to be a domain expert? I’d think an AI would be pretty good at that.

This is the new challenge. Every vibecoder is larping as a SWE and rewriting systems left and right when all they need is a new feature or two. 6000 line PRs that could be 60. The challenge in the current era is evolving existing systems to

Can't fully enforce that one, but I require only my specific HTTP router / SQL library to be used, and disallow the import of express / pg libraries via eslint. I also disable the use of JSON.parse via eslint. Combined with s

I've been having good luck with fairly autonomous LLM coding with the following rules: * TypeScript everywhere with extreme enforcement of the type system. * No "as" casts, no "any" declarations, all code mus

Saying that becoming an EM is "moving away from tech" is crazy. As an EM you will be steeped in tech, just as you would be as an IC. It just may not be the tech you want to be steeped in. Again, same as an IC. In either case, unle

I haven't needed that yet! But it seems like the agent could easily be notified of completed activities.

by ZitchDog 7mo ago
Nope! The summary is presented to the user via a link and once the user follows the link and approves, the action is implemented entirely outside of the agent, on a separate server.

I've created my own "claw" running in fly.io with a pattern that seems to work well. I have MCP tools for actions that I want to ensure human-in-the loop - email sending, slack message sending, etc. I call these "activit

Hi HN! I built TJS over my holiday as a way to experiment and get better at agentic coding. I was astounded at how quickly software can be built when you have a full test spec like JSON Schema has. The thing I'm most proud of is the Ty

I used similar techniques to build tjs [1] - the worlds fastest and most accurate json schema validator, with magical TypeScript types. I learned a lot about autonomous programming. I found a similar "planner/delegate" patter

Not correct: A share is a contract issued by the corporation entitling its owner to a share of future profits. So you're not buying a corporation, just engaging in a contract with it. I hate Citizens United as much as the next guy, but

I used to think prayer was really dumb too, but then I started practicing Metta meditation created by Buddhists, and I realized it's very similar to Christian prayer. The power of Metta and prayer is actually the change it makes in the

The problem is that TypeScript is terrible at codegen, there are no standard extension points like we have with javac and others. So we are forced to do these crazy hacks at the type level rather than just generating types as you would in o

This is what happened to me in middle school. I wrote a bunch of programs to “help” me with algebra II tests and ended up inadvertently learning an insanely marketable skill in the process.

It's not just people who gave them data who should be worried. If a close relative gave their info to 23andme, they probably have enough data to associate your DNA with that relative. For instance my mom did 23andme and now 50% of my D

Cool!! Is this available outside of pglite or does it require it for some reason? I could see this being very widely useful.

> it has a reactive "live query" API Very cool! Most of the examples for reactive queries are very basic (only single tables). Do live queries support joins / aggregations?

I am halfway through this book and wanting to read it slower because it's that good. I think we could make a pretty cool AI powered ARG based on the lore.

Htmx doesn't help with this problem (knowing whether the underlying data has changed in order to update the UI). It's a common problem in any kind of collaborative app.

One thing that postgres does not solve very well is reactive UIs. Postgres does have listen/notify but it requires much more boilerplate and infrastructure to set up than Firebase/Firestore. For example I'd like to be able to

I would much rather inherit and optimize someone's postgres DB with specific scaling challenges than a prematurely optimized multi-database solution built for "web scale".
