>> “commit everything in logical chunks” and Claude handles the entire flow—staging changes, writing meaningful commit messages, pushing, opening PRs, watching CI, and fixing any CI failures. When builds break, it analyzes the errors and patches them automatically. It’s also extremely good at resolving merge conflicts.

Is this marketing hype for the post or does it actually do all this? I know it's relatively new, but I haven't been able to find a resources to do such a setup? Only posts glorifying that it's capable of such tasks. If anyone else has had better luck with such complex tasks, would love to find out more.

It can do all this and more, you just have to nudge/instruct it to.

It's also amazing at using the CLI (I've been a terminal nerd for years, and yet watching claude 4 pipe those unix commands to work around the fact it can't use interactive TUI's yet, is pretty amazing)

You can give it tools either via funciton call, MCP, or just terminal unix shell.

Prompt it right, and the agentic stuff is like magic imho

I don’t get any money from them. There are no affiliate links anywhere. I’m just really enjoying what Claude Code can do.

Yep, didn't intend to downplay your claims. Would love to see a video in action to learn more.

Here you go

Looks miserable. Prompt, tweak, review, test, tweak, prompt, review, test, review, tweak, prompt, etc. Fiddling with settings windows in some black box software that belongs to someone else.

Programming: a powerful skillset, one of the few things that can give you autonomy and agency besides money. Doable on basic computer hardware with no internet connection. Self-reinforcing, investing in yourself.

Prompting: requires expensive subscriptions to someone else's computer, someone else's software. They can turn it off, they control it. Spending your days QAing software and reviewing code and describing in worse language what you want the computer to do, over and over, until you test your way to something approximating what you wanted. Not to mention incinerating the environment.

I know which of the two I prefer.

local open source llms can run on your HW

its nit really choosing one ot the other imho

they supplement each other

[zackify]

Yes I do the same thing, except I usually just say alright push this up now and it handles it

[the_mitsuhiko]

It does this for Peter at least. There is a video of him showing is Agentinc setup.

All those “AI works great for me” blogs and HN comments are suspiciously light on details. They could just be marketing hype for all we know. I for one don't trust them one bit.
