People have been saying this before chatgpt and ever since. And they're right.
Its charlatans like sama that muddy the waters by promising the sky to get money for their empire building.
LLMs can make and are great great products. But its sneaky salesmen that are the ones saying scaling is the path to AGI. The reality is that they're just aiming for economies of scale to make their business viable
If the health monitoring is reliable, im sold. I want to move on from apples clutches despite the pebble hardware not looking particularly attractive to me
You're saying as if it's a bad thing. We need new blood. Thank god IBM Failed and we got microsoft /hp/apple. Now it's time for the next wave to make the current Dinos go extinct
This is my project/blog post and yes, I've gotten that feedback a couple of times. I mostly work in control systems and probably reflexively think narrowly about that context. But it's definitely tailored to controls - I wasn't intentionally trying to oversell it or anything.
It’s the title of the blog post and I didn’t want to change it. But yes, it seems to focus on the specific subset of hardware engineering that’s control systems.
But that would apply to any app that deals with files like this one does.
This one is open source and we can run some code analysis on it, compile locally, etc. I am not well versed in security checks but I guess you get the idea.
This situation reminds me of the Visual Basic apps in the nineties. It was possible to write good quality software with VB and some people did. Nonetheless the majority was dross and the fact that an app was written in VB was a strong indicator of poor quality.
Agents are really good at writing unit tests, but only if you clarify exactly WHAT should be tested. Otherwise they generate slop which passes, but don't catch any bugs nor regression.
Don't know why this comment was flagged, this is exactly what is going on here. AI is famous for these purple gradients and the website reeks "vibe-coded", this is 100% how Claude makes websites, including the already mentioned gradients, emojis, style, etc.
And of course every commit is Co-Authored by Claude Code with excessive commit descriptions also created by Claude. Is this really something we want to see on Hacker News? I wouldn't trust such an application.
Nothing against AI coding but letting AI take the wheel 100% of the time and not even mention it (like he coded it himself) is very dishonest.
Following up the previous post, made a v2 collating popular best practices/guides found on HN, reddit etc.
Improving the process to address some of the shortcomings last time (primarily separating out general software engineering best practices - still critical and foundational, but separating them out allows more clarity on agentic coding specific best practices)
