HN comments on LLM agents are bi-modal now, as are views in the general population. The modes are adopters and non-adopters.

There isn’t much of a middle ground anymore.


Is that not pointless now? The point of writing was previously to communicate our thoughts and ideas to other people. Now and going forward that is unnecessary. The most efficient and effective way for us to communicate our thoughts and ideas is to have an agent organize and write them down for us.

Okay, and how does the agent know what your thoughts and ideas are?

I have a single wrap function that does this for all errors. The top level handler only prints the first two, but can print all if needed.

I have never had difficulty quickly finding the error given only the top two stack sites.

Any complaint about go boilerplate is flawed. The purpose and value is not in reducing code written, it is to make code easier to read and it achieves this goal better than any other language.

This value is compounding with coding agents.


This is correct. Had lunch with a senior staff engineer going for a promo to principal soon. He explained he was early to CC, became way more productive than his peers, and got the staff promo. Now he’s not sharing how he uses the agent so he maintains his lead over his peers.

This is so clearly a losing strategy. So clearly not even staff level performance let alone principal level.


Why the downvotes? It is the defining characteristic of the staff+ level to empower others. Individual contributions don’t matter at this level.

And yet it is correct. The most valuable engineers today are those who have maintained and expanded the 0..v1 crap from others, and are now driven and ambitious enough to go build the next generation of 0..v1. Armed with that experience, the crap is minimal and value maximized.

Oof ima be the one to say it depends. This is personality based and the truth is a successful product has both. Even late on u want that person willing to break convention to find a new way of doing something. Early u need some seasoning in there too.

Will the adoption of this RFC prevent corporate MITM attacks like Zscaler TLS inspection?

Hopefully: yes

If the client (read: chrome) does support that (and prevent its desactivation), then zscaler and other shitty things are made even more useless than what they are today


Of course not. Zscaler will simply block all ECH connections.

It is remarkably effective to have Claude Code do the code review and assign a quality score, call it a grade, to the contribution derived from your own expectations of quality.

Then don’t even bother looking at C work or below.


IME it works even better if you use another model for review. We've seen code by cc and review by gpt5.2/3 work very well.

Also works with planning before any coding sessions. Gemini + Opus + GPT-xhigh works to get a lot of questions answered before coding starts.


It’s telling the best MCP implementations are those which are a CLI to handle the auth flow then allow the agent to invoke it and return results to stdout.

But even those are not better for agent use than the human cli counterpart.


That’s a feature not a bug.

The point being we can simply tell our agents to start at the rug pull point and implement the same features and bug fixes on the Apache fork referring to the AGPL implementation.
