Coding agents can absolutely help you with:

Setting up an Ubuntu server Configuring everything a web server needs Deploying to the server through GitHub or other platforms Maintaining the server, improving security, and so on

Coding agents are amazing for mature, well-understood technologies.

BUT BUT BUT, if you have zero understanding of web technology, there’s still a chance you’ll fall into a “forever failure” loop.

It’s a matter of probability.

Controversial and blunt and slightly uncomfortable truth

1. In the same amount of time, AI now generates about 5× more code than before.

2. In the same amount of time, engineers have to review about 5× more code than before.

3. The time spent reviewing code is now greater than the time spent writing it.

Conclusion: In many companies, AI has actually reduced the overall efficiency of engineering teams.

If companies really want AI to improve productivity in production environments, the key is to improve the quality of generated code and the efficiency of the human-in-the-loop validation process.

What teams actually need to find is a balance point, and that balance point depends heavily on the methods used by individuals and teams.

At that point, AI might generate only 2× more code instead of 5×, but the time required for both individual and team code reviews could drop significantly. In that case, code quality would not decrease—in fact, it could improve—while iteration speed would still increase in a meaningful way.

Painting Is a Program, Poetry Is a Prompt: Rethinking AI's Role

mikasisiki — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 03:42:23 +0000

“Painting” has been a key vehicle for transmitting Western civilization, whereas in China this role has been taken over by “poetry.”

Painting is like a program, while poetry is more like a continually evolving set of requirements that must be aligned with over time.

Perhaps world models are meant for writing programs, while large language models are meant for describing the world. Perhaps we shouldn’t make AI work for humans at all, but instead give it a space where it can create and explore freely.

mikasisiki — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 17:33:50 +0000

There was a period when coding agents would always agree with you, even if you gave them a really bad idea. They’d always start with something like, “You’re right — I should…”.

Back then, what we actually wanted was for them to push back and argue with us.

FeatBit originally used WebSocket. Later, we added a polling option based on customer requirements. Out of curiosity, how do you handle this with Next.js deployed on Vercel?

Feels like file-system-style storage is pretty similar, conceptually, to Claude’s current Skills design.

It’s possible. Either way, many people literally sleep in a monthly subscription model — rent.

I'm not sure what you mean by “the game has changed.” If you’re referring to Opus 4.5, it’s somewhat better, but it’s far from game-changing.

Ask HN: Can AI Coding redefine how enterprises approach digital transformation?

mikasisiki — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 12:08:38 +0000

Most companies don’t just need standardized SaaS tools — they need customized solutions like tailored CRMs, ERPs, Retool-style internal tools, Notion-like platforms, or Salesforce-level systems that align with their unique, self-driven business logic for data creation, modification, and management.

How can AI help build and adapt these personalized systems more efficiently than traditional software development?

Does this demand really exist?

Seems that Zeabur reallocates AWS resources and it helps small teams and startup projects to save money. Sort of a full stack alternative to vercel.com.

I like it for 3 reasons:

1. Built with .NET 2. Garnet can work with existing Redis clients. 3. MIT License

Need more time to get into the details
