Ask HN: Should a coding client import another client's rules by default? 2 by ryanmerket | 0 comments on Hacker News. An AI coding client automatically reads ~/.codex/AGENTS.md and ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. These are personal instruction files inside competing coding clients' configuration directories, outside the project selected by the user. Their complete contents are added to the first model request and sent to the client's servers by default. At startup, the client displays a brief notice saying it is including the other clients' personal rules. It does not ask permission first. A command-line option disables the behavior. The configuration guide says: "Your machine-wide user rules always load." It requires users to trust a workspace before loading project instruction files. The machine-wide files load automatically.

I feel like I now have to test all my code locally with agents reviewing them and ideally testing them. Unfortunately I feel like the traditional CI/CD testing is starting to feel like a formality. Would love to know what everyone is doing, and if I'm not the only one making a mistake.

Ask HN: Why is Open POWER Foundation a wasteland? 2 by climate_denier_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. Why is the Open POWER Foundation website a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland compared to riscv.org? Just ten years ago PowerPC was getting so much love (at least, a little love). What has possessed people who relied on that ecosystem to dump it so wholeheartedly?
