I’m really wondering why so many advertising posts mimicked as discourse make it to frontpage and I assume it’s a new Silicon Valley trick because there is no way HN community values these so much.

Let me tell you I’m scared of these tools. With Aider I have the most human in the loop possible each AI action is easy to undo, readable and manageable.

However even here most of the time I want AI to write a bulk of code I regret it later.

Most codebase challenges I have are infrastructural problems, where I need to reduce complexity to be able to safely add new functionality or reduce error likelihood. I’m talking solid well named abstractions.

This in the best case is not a lot of code. In general I would always rather try to have less code than more. Well named abstraction layers with good domain driven design is my goal.

When I think of switching to an AI first editor I get physical anxiety because it feels like it will destroy so many coders by leading to massive frustration.

I think still the best way of using ai is literally just chat with it about your codebase to make sure you have good practise.

You're on a site that exists to advertise job postings from YC companies, and does not stop people from spamming their personal or professional projects/companies, even when they have no activity here other than self promotion. This is an advertising site.

Here I think that the problem with the context is in the mind of business and dev not everything is written down and even if I would be translating it understandable (prompting) will sometimes be more work than to build it on the go with modern idea and typesafe languages
