Thanks for posting this, it has made me reflect. I think that’s a fair point.

No, but close. Someone like that built the infrastructure tooling to do deep research, wrote up their process doing that, and then did what you said after, which I consider to be different. I didn’t read it in full but I spot checked one or

Yes, it was created by a cool called Sourcery. Sourcery Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47996426 The project is currently private, I'd love to have access to its source.

I get one a week minimum, hundreds per year. I don’t follow up often enough to know whether they are real and separate etc though.

I’m not sure what you mean? I have goals that I want to achieve; lil ai buddy comes along and helps me, over time buddy becomes better able to help me do stuff. What do you mean role? Person who does stuff I guess, same as it is now.

Anecdote: As a hapless junior engineer I once did something extremely similar. I ran a declarative coding tool on a resource that I thought would be a PATCH but ended up being a PUT and it resulted in a very similar outcome to the one in th

I would argue that “Why did you do that?” between humans is usually a social thing not a literal request for information. What the asker wants is evidence that you share their model of what matters, they are looking for reassurance. I find

This is something I really hope can be solved. I long for a “copilot” that can learn from me continuously such that it actually helps if I teach it what I like somehow.

I agree that the model can help troubleshoot and debug itself. I argue that the model has no access to its thoughts at the time. Split brain experiments notwithstanding I believe that I can remember what my faulty assumptions were when I di

I suspect we are not describing the same thing. When a human asks another human “why did you do X?”, the other human can of course attempt to recall the literal thoughts they had while they did X (which I would agree with you are quite anal

There is something darkly comical about using an LLM to write up your “a coding agent deleted our production database” Twitter post. On another note, I consider users asking a coding agent “why did you do that” to be illustrating a misunder

Thanks for writing this comment, I think seeing someone’s “first impressions” and then seeing someone else’s response to those thoughts is more interesting and feels more connected socially than just reading a “correct” guide or similar esp

I think it may be that we agree but because the expression “vibe code” has many meanings it’s hard to tell. I would absolutely still bring a coding agent with me for a project like this, but I would be in the mindset of “I need to understan

This fan out approach plus something like Kafka consumer groups is often a better approach to getting workers to take from the same pool anyways, because you can do key based partitioning and therefore have semi stateful consumers (cache, p

by pierrekin 5mo ago
I think there are two kinds of partition based approach which may cause some confusion if lumped together in this kind of comparison. Insert and delete with old partition drop vs insert only with old partition drop. The semantics of the two

Yes you can, and at the risk of sounding a little snarky; if you do something like that and then release it as open source, people may even discuss it on HN!

In Postgres land bloat refers to dead tuples that are left in place during certain operations and need to be vacuumed later. It’s challenging to write a queue that doesn’t create bloat, hence why this project is citing it as a feature.

Yes what you’re describing is literally the thing GitHub has built but instead of having to make a bunch of compromises, there is dedicated UI and product metaphor for it. Some examples of compromises: You can’t merge partially merge a larg

Then you lose the ability to merge the portion of work which has been agreed to, until the whole change overall has been agreed to.

No, each PR is based on the previous one, so the reviewer only needs to consider the ideas that are new in each PR one at a time.

by pierrekin 5mo ago
The teams that I have worked with still apply the philosophy you’re describing, but they consider PRs to be the “commit”, i.e. the smallest thing that is sane to apoly individually. Then the commits in the PR are not held to the standard of

We use this feature extensively at $dayjob. Imagine you have some task you are working on, and you wish to share your progress with people in bite sized chunks that they can review one at a time, but you also don’t want to wait for their re

I think the harsh truth in this case is that this person has qualities of their personality and their habits that make them incompatible with a conventional job.

In my society, absolutely, possibly literally more than a hundred people. Where in the world is the answer no? Maybe if you’ve freshly immigrated to a new country or something? That is a very scary thought, but it’s also scary for me to thi

It’s hard to respond to a call for “everyone to agree” in an online forum but yes. Even people who are self or outwardly destructive, do not deserve the outcome the author got. I think a harder to answer question is, assuming there are not

I get an incredible “narcism ick” from this writing. I wonder if other people feel the same way. It’s so gross contrasted with the theme. The very first paragraphs start with a poor attempt to humble brag his”credentials” as not just a “nor

Not strictly related to this video - sorry about that - but I have some ideas of how to improve the system you used to record arc welding in high quality. Do you still have the hardware? Does revisiting the project and using some signal pro

I was made to do this at work also. The reasoning went something like this. Yes of course we need to properly escape all strings that we render / use parametised queries to avoid injection attacks, however we also need defense in depth
