Can you help reconcile my first/second-hand LLM Experience with HN's Experience?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48102861I've made an account as a long-time lurker because I am hoping y'all could help reconcile my experience in my company/team with what seems to be the wise HN consensus around LLMs.My Background (Software Engineer II):I've been writing software professionally for >10 years and grew up coding games/websites for fun; did my undergraduate in C.S./C.E., and did some time in ML research and such. Right now I'm on the back-end/DevOps team - my teammates are all Senior Staff/Principal Engineer (one is almost double my age lol!) and we have a pretty standard tech stack (NodeJS, AWS, C++, etc) with 95% brownfield development at a large but not FAANG-like company. I've had my current job for >6 years and out of ~20 in our department I'm the third newest!I'd say I'm a pretty stereotypical engineer AKA "a total nerd" with private side projects mostly around implementing computational geometry or procedural simulation papers in Rust, sometimes working on a lil website tool we use daily. But I mostly

Show HN: OpenGravity – A zero-install, BYOK vanilla JS clone of Antigravityhttps://github.com/ab-613/opengravityHi. I’m a high school student studying for my GCSEs. I was using Google Antigravity heavily for my side projects, but I kept hitting the usage limits, and getting random "agent terminated" errors. So I decided to try build my own version of the IDE. I love the UI, so I copied it as accurately as possible, and then hooked up some logic into it, including the INCREDIBLY finicky webcontainer api.I tried to keep it super lightweight, no build steps, or dependencies, and now that its open source, I'm hoping people can build things on top of it that arent possible with closed source tools, like complex custom agent workflows.Some screenshots: - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/scr... - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/htm...What it's made from:- Pure Vanilla JS: no react, vue, or build step. Built entirely in plain HTML/CSS/JS to keep it super lightweight.- WebContainer API and xterm.js: Instead of faking a terminal, I (after much pain) hooked

Show HN: Inspection Credit – read your inspection, draft the negotiationhttps://www.inspectioncredit.comHi HN. I built Inspection Credit because the inspection-response window in a home purchase is one of the worst-designed parts of the entire transaction.You get a 60 to 90 page inspection report at 11pm. You have 5 days to respond. Half the report is photos of outlets. A third is non-issues. The 3 or 4 things that actually matter are buried on page 47 next to a missing smoke detector. Your inspector legally cannot advise on negotiation. Your agent makes commission when you close, not when you walk. So you decide, alone, in a panic.The product takes the PDF and returns a packet with the negotiable findings, a credit-request letter, an escalation script for seller pushback, walk-away guidance that references your state's standard inspection-response form, and a UPL-defensive disclaimer. $79, refundable if the report turns up nothing worth negotiating.A few engineering notes:(1) The aggregator sites (HomeAdvisor, Fixr, Angi, HomeGuide) disagree by 30 to 50 percent on the same repair scope.

Does anyone have any suggestions?A bit about me:-I am 17 & I am a member of the LiteLLM security working group.

Coding might go the way of woodworkinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48096572At one point well before the age of industrialization all furniture was hand crafted so to speak by trained artisans. As time went on they started working together in workshops, had more formal training processes through guilds and perhaps most important saw improved work flows through specialization, improved tooling and the use of ever more sophisticated jigs and templates.Industrialization took things to another lever. Mastery meant skill in using ever more complicated and industrialized machinery. Profit seeking behavior set the focus on automation, repeatability and perhaps most important reducing the skill necessary to do the job.Today nearly all furniture is made in factories using not wood but rather sawdust and wood particles glued and pressed together. The process is deskilled, if anything the skilled work is in designing, manufacturing and tuning the machines that make the furniture, not in making furniture itself.We still teach woodworking in schools, oddly enough though we

Show HN: Objo Studiohttps://objo.devObjo Studio is a new development environment for building desktop and command line apps. It has a visual designer, a debugger, a compiler, and a modern BASIC-like language called ObjoBasic. The aim is simple: make it enjoyable to build real applications for macOS, Windows and Linux and learn how to program.I've been working on Objo Studio in one shape or another since about 2019. I've always loved tools that let you move quickly from idea to working prototype and that abstract a lot of complexity and get out of your way. This has been tried before (VisualBasic, Xojo, etc) but have either been abandoned, become expensive or lost focus on hobbyists.The whole stack is written in C#. There's a custom stack-based VM that is roughly on-par with Python for speed but this is not a high performance tool. It's an all-in-one IDE for visually developing cross-platform desktop apps. It tries to make it simple for users, abstracting runtimes and libraries to help newcomers learn but also let them th

Copilot "auto-pilot" system instructions making models worsthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48096339I use copilot for work, and I have this fight with models all the time because the model has an urgency to get things done,Sometimes I need to explain an issue, elaborate on the constraints, ask the model to research what's going on but I have to fight the model NON STOP to not start writing code... the solution is not to make the code pass where it's broken "fixing" all the unit test to now pass where they fail after the "fix"...To provide the context so a good solution is done and taking into consideration EVERYTHING THAT needs to be done I need to "have a talk" with the model so I can present all the things to consider...Today reading the output I got the two pieces below... first... this totally breaks the model for anything serious.. Why are you pushing the model to do something when I want it to do something else? I'M PAYING FOR IT,But now in the middle of this RANT I notice the model mention that the "Auto pilot" mode is actually pressuring it to assume things and move on to com
