How about cyborg prompting your hero image? That screen is facing the wrong way, left and right hand are owned by different people… I guess it’s a good guard to tell people to not bother reading something that the author didn’t bother writing.

Am I going insane or does it feel like every other post is written by o3? This is exhausting.

From the HN guidelines:

"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

You're literally posting your stuff part of the time (one post!) don't feel bad about it, well within the guideline spirit.

Respectfully: the OP has a 2 year old account and a karma of 12. I disagree with your assessment that his post is well within the guideline spirit.

Do we think that cyborg coding is the right word? I've been struggling how to explain when i have 4 claude code instances going working on stuff from specs / fixing bugs / updating docs / etc.

Note that Claude overuses tokens. I guess they get paid by the token. It is cliched in this way, sort of like if a programmer were to get paid by the line. Other LLMs can produce clean results with far fewer tokens than Claude.

I believe we already have the correct word (agent).

Agentic coding.

To me this implies that it's more agent than person... like when you use claude in github actions vs using it in your ide.

Agentic coding works via the IDE, GitHub Issues, and command-line tools like OpenAI Codex and Claude CLI. Agentic coding is AI-based feedback-driven multi-step coding. In general, an agent implies that the agent is working for someone, which in this case is a person.

I am 100% with you on this (as this is how I do things). Now, tbh, having CI/CD setup with code formatter, linter, code gen was already like this. AI just elevates this further.

So yeah, 100% in agreement.
