That's completely fair, I did spend a day or 2 having AI rewrite the field descriptions based on the code. for bots, by bots!

CLI still has the possibility of being a little more token efficient, at worst it may use graphql behind the scenes.

For our company, we advertise the graphql schema to bots and they can one-shot whatever task they're trying to do. I've found that it's so good that I cancelled building an an MCP server and any skill. Just a well documented GQL schema. It's pretty remarkable.

The post fails to mention that spaceX is not just a rocket company. Bundled with it is xAI, which is presumably losing money hand over fist. Package enough risk together and sell for a higher price to retail consumers. We’ve seen this play…

Biome has been out of alpha for a few years now and is fantastic :-)

I just finished the red rising series this year. Do you have any other recommendations in the same genre?

The ads made this unreadable. Is this a thing? Get to hackernews front page & then inject your post with as many ads as possible to “cash in”?

I’m in the exact same boat. Also toying with the idea of going back to android for the pixel 10 pro. I do miss android notifications and keyboard. Are there any features keeping you from going back?

I want to believe, and I promise I'm not trying to be a luddite here. Has anyone with decent (5+ years) experience built a non-trivial new feature in a production codebase quicker by letting AI write it?

Agents are great at familiarizing me with a new codebase. They're great at debugging because even when they're wrong, they get me thinking about the problem differently so I ultimately get the right solution quicker. I love using it like a super-powered search tool and writing single functions or SQL queries about the size of a unit test. However, reviewing a junior's code ALWAYS takes more time than writing it myself, and I feel like AI quality is typically at the junior level. When it comes to authorship, either I'm prompting it wrong, or the emperor just isn't wearing clothes. How can I become a believer?

Voluntary certification, please. Law is slower than technology. This is a good thing! EnergyStar is a great example of a voluntary program doing more good than DoE or FTC mandates. HIPAA is a good example of what happens when mandates can’t keep up with technology. When it comes to security, we can’t afford another HIPAA.

Personally, I let vscode do typechecking on open files & have a pre-commit git hook to typecheck changed files.

When it comes to starting up a development server & building the client, there's a huge cost to repeatedly typechecking the same 1000+ files. By cutting out typechecking & only compiling, I can reduce the webpack client build from 40 seconds to 3 seconds (using sucrase).

Do pipes make writing good code easier? Yes. Do they make writing bad code easier? Also yes.

The older I get, the more I care about the latter.

This is the first ES6+ proposal that I'm not excited about & I don't know how to voice that concern because it is so subjective.
