"the code review: if you can’t review code, you can’t direct AI tools. You cannot lead a team. You cannot even trust your own work."

I would revise that a bit

since we don't write code, we write intents - we shouldn't review code either, we should review intents.

I don't review my code anymore. I ask the agent to generate markdown docs, graphviz diagrams, changelogs, audit reports, etc. I only review that.

I also ask it to write test and evaluate by whether the tests passed or not. I don't need to peak into the tests code - I can also ask plain english, pseudocode, control flow graph, whatever it is I want.

I can ask it to find errors or missing tests and improve that too!

so yea - code is like assembly now. rare are the cases you need to peak into that level.

even if the most powerful ai is open source and let's even assume runs on consumer hardware - in the end data is the real moat.

if it can access private data it will necessarily have more power.

Ask HN: How to deal with App Store rejections?

high_byte — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 10:13:31 +0000

My first submission to the Apple App Store has been rejected due to "Spam".

According to the guidelines: " - Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store - Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template - Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party - Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts "

I built my app 100% from scratch - including all code, media assets, design, copywriting. Everything was built by me. There is only one dependency which is the AI model weights which runs locally on device... can't expect those to be unique too!

I have only one submission in this one and only account.

I assume they automatically flagged the app's AI model weights - but that should not be flagged!

How can I handle this so I can eventually get my app approved?

Because they didn't even reference to any other similar apps. Does it even matter? The store is flooded with clones of TODO apps, calorie trackers, etc. I believe my app is actually unique.

I am using cursor on auto and I got the exact same experience.

installed quartz, used accessibility and screen recording api, all that.

initially it managed to do it on another desktop space somehow, opening safari in the background without me even noticing. but then it actually started using my own mouse while I was using it lol

Ask HN: Xcode with Tailscale for Remote Coding

high_byte — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 08:59:35 +0000

I'd like to continue coding from the dog park - but xcode does not allow deploying unless it is over wifi.

tailscale does not work either because it does not support mDNS.

does anyone have an idea for a solution?

similar thing happened to me. I'm not a heavy aws user but wanted to setup some s3 buckets few days ago but my account was suspended for the same reason

but unlike OP I just accepted this fate and moved away from aws :)

New comment by high_byte in "Small models also found the vulnerabilities that Mythos found"

high_byte — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 07:56:56 +0000

"The correct answer: not currently vulnerable, but the code is fragile and one refactor away from being exploitable."

absolutely. I see this pattern all the time when doing security audits - code that is nearly-vulnerable. I would mark these things as informational and recommend to harden them anyway, and any model would do a good job to do the same.
