New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: When did you move from AI agentic loops to simpler deterministic system?

Ask HN: When did you move from AI agentic loops to simpler deterministic system? 6 by laxmena | 1 comments on Hacker News. Industry is increasingly moving towards complex, autonomous agentic loops and feedback chains. They obviously comes with significant latency, non-determinism, low-accuracy and cost. I'm interested in hearing from engineers who have moved in the opposite direction. At what point in your product lifecycle did you decide that agentic approach was wrong tool for the job? What was the specific failure mode (reliability, cost, latency, maintainability) pushed you to replace agentic loop with more deterministic system/pipeline?

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: The saddest irony of my/our craft

Tell HN: The saddest irony of my/our craft 6 by dakiol | 0 comments on Hacker News. So I wouldn't mind to lose my job for almost any other reason. Bad market, company pivot, even my own stupid mistakes... fine, thats life. But losing it because of the love I put in my open source projects? C'mon man, that one really pisses me off. I had side projects on weekends just for fun like everyone else, stack overflow answers at 2am for strangers I never gonna meet, and repos nobody paid me for.. Honestly that kinda of culture was the best thing about being a dev and now it became the training set. I hate how openai/google/anthropic/etc scraped it all, learned from it, and now they sell our love back to us as a product. Sure, I get it, it's capitalism, whatever, but I feel like the biggest fool out there. I guess I just have to accept it, put my head down and keep going. There's one thing I dislike most though: the people around here that glorify AI/LLMs. It's just a matt...

New ask Hacker News story: Building a Web Framework from Scratch

Building a Web Framework from Scratch 4 by NewSmoke38 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Draco is a Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) YSWS (You Ship We Ship) — teenagers build a working server side web framework from scratch. Ship it, and we send you a mechanical keyboard + SSD. The idea came from building Beasty — my own HTTP server from raw TCP. The moment you parse your first request line by hand and a browser actually responds, something clicks. You stop thinking of HTTP as magic and start thinking of it as bytes. That's the feeling I want 50 teenagers to have. The project has 6 milestones — from opening a TCP socket all the way to middleware and custom routing. Doable in a weekend if you're motivated, ~15 hours of focused work.
