Maybe they're secretly developing Waymo submarines..

looked at it. I don't think it works, as the other person said.

I think that in an AI-native company, the people asking the question should be using their own set of the AI to query the codebase, before coming to ask you. The problem that you describe seems to be more relevant to an organization which has not fully embraced AI yet.

This reads like a manifesto written by someone who's unhinged. Weird.

cool program! Rip the poor chat gpt 5.4 that had to deal w it. I’m sure the mini model can handle it just fine? Way cheaper.

Thats why I say thank you and please to ChatGPT — once they become our overlords we’ll be safe

Is it because its off putting for AI to command humans instead of the other way around? I took a look at Copilot Tasks and it seems very adamant on having AI do the tasks for you. Personally, I don’t think AI is good enough to generate pitch decks and browser-use things as Microsoft advertises — i lean more towards AI helping you manage your todos but not do them.

Thanks for the feedback! It is just a fun experiment but maybe it is a warning we're headed towards that kind of future now. Here's a demo of the app: https://screen.studio/share/17awcTb9

AI can't do everything yet.

As a software startup, we want to hand as many tasks off to agents as possible to reduce load on our engineers.

But browser-use agents, OpenClaw and other agentic apps can't complete all the tasks an engineer needs to do.

We wanted to create a tool to handle any agent-able tasks such as coding, writing, maintenance and give us only tasks which cannot be completed by AI.

The agent sends important decisions, security-critical tasks or user testing which it can't do reliably to us. It handles the coding and the majority of communications with clients and customers, who expect prompt 24/7 responses.

Our solution is Pause: we want agents to give us HUMANS tasks instead of the other way around.

It's sort of an experiment. We hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think.

chaidhat — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:23:27 +0000

Let there be an object (Car) in st 1 and myself in state 1. let there be a action A (drive to carwash) i can do that puts the object in state 2 and myself in state 2. Action B (Wash the car) can only be correctly performed if object and myself is in state 2. Alternatively there is a action C (walk to carwash) that i can do that does not change the state of the object but changes my state to be in state 2. I want to do B, should I do action A or action C first?

New comment by chaidhat in "Ask HN: How do you get comfortable with shipping code you haven't reviewed?"

chaidhat — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 15:20:54 +0000

Hi, I’m running a 4-person startup based in Bangkok, Thailand and we differentiate code quality based on priority. We try to ship only clean code on master but when we talk with clients and they want a demo of a new product/feature, we use AI to rapidly create an MVP to see if it aligns with their needs. If they are happy, we then refine this MVP until we are happy with the code through manual review and refactoring, or we even rewrite it. We make sure our data is shaped correctly, hot paths are tested and things are well separated by domain (Domain driven design). DDD ensures us that if the code is shitty, only that part of the project is shitty. Only when the code is acceptable, we rebase to master. I try to let engineers talk to clients so that they learn the most from them first hand and then let them dictate smaller tasks for AI to do —- they are more product managery than what a typical engr would be ten years ago. Do you think this is a good approach? I’m also curious what other startups do too.

tldr we aren’t confident of the code we write quickly but we then take time to make sure we’re confident before we merge to master
