I have only worked in startups and I have been an early engineer in both of them. I would always get high privileges within a short time where I would have the access to create and delete resources. I don't think it's that uncommon.

Ask HN: How do you give estimates in the age of Agentic coding

nibbleyou — Sat, 09 May 2026 17:04:38 +0000

Back in the day you would get a rough estimate of how long a new feature might take once you had worked on a codebase for long enough. You knew how the internals worked, how much time it would take to design the solution, how fast you could type the code.

Now with AI doing the design and coding, it feels like there is no way to get a good estimate. It all depends on how fast the AI agent can understand your codebase, your requirements, how fast is the inference. If the LLM one-shots the best design then its fast else you keep on doing a lot of back-n-forth.

I know the estimates earlier were also not that good but at least you got a rough idea. Now at least I feel that I have no idea how long something is going to take.

It is absolutely possible that I am doing it wrong, that I am doing a lot more "vibe" coding.

Any tips or your experience will be helpful.

I too have felt the same around me. There is this lack of faith in the institutions now, feeling of distrust. Someone on HN called this the era of shamelessness and I kind of agree to it. The top has gotten shameless and the people at the bottom are trying to scrabble whatever they can to become one of them so that they can escape this hellhole that has been created.

There's also a tool to automatically push it to multiple repos: https://github.com/prashantsengar/GitEcho

Though to be fair, what the parent meant by federated forges is different than this approach.

Curious to know what kind of problems you are talking about here

I saw something like this for a book. It was under an Instagram reel where the person was describing ways to improve your self-esteem. In the comments section someone mentioned a book that worked for them and it had a few replies saying how it worked for them too. I searched for the book and it was a very new book from an unknown author and zero reviews everywhere.

Exact same story at my place. Upper management decided it's a good idea to build on Azure because Microsoft promised some benefits. Things that ran reliable on GCP now need active firefighting on Azure

I see this being said often but I don't understand.

A lot of people posting there are young and may well be in their first relationship. It makes sense for them to ask a question in the community they spend their most time in - which is reddit

It's really interesting how the same propaganda is applied by fascist governments everywhere. The ones supporting the "nationalist" government are the patriots and the others are enemies

Don't the Americans have the second amendment to save themselves from their government?
