HN discussionYou might find this post interesting: https://steipete.me/posts/2025/claude-code-is-my-computer It… sure is something. I’m still thinking about if it’s horrible, visionary, or both.

HN discussionI think you're making a fair comment, but it still irks me that you're quite light on details on what the "correct" approach is supposed to be, and it irks me also because it seems to now be a pattern in the discussion. Someone gives a detailed-ish account of what they did, and that it didn't work for them, and then there are always people in the comments saying that you were doing it wrong. Fair! But at this point,…

HN discussionIf you go just a few posts back in Peter's own blog he has a video of himself doing exactly this: https://steipete.me/posts/2025/live-coding-session-building-... He has posted others over the past few months, but they don't seem to be on his blog currently. As @simonw mentions in a peer comment, Armin Ronacher also has several great streams (and he's less caffeinated and frenetic than Peter :)

HN discussion>Nobody has reviewed OpenClaw’s 400,000 lines. Including the author, who brags he doesn't read his own code. Indeed, it would be physically impossible for him to do so! https://steipete.me/posts/2025/shipping-at-inference-speed As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there is very clearly an obsession with quantity over quality. Not a new phenomenon by any means: people were already complaining about this in the 19th…

HN discussionYeah, Andrej thinks "agentic engineering" is a good candidate too. Note that he's not claiming to have coined it there: > Many people have tried to come up with a better name for this to differentiate it from vibe coding, personally my current favorite "agentic engineering" Andrej posted that on 4th of February. I first saw the term "agentic engineering" used by OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger in October 2025 (a…

HN discussionI started in July-August and it’s a learning curve, you start with “i’ve got all the power” and gradually learn the limits of the AI models, so you start closing the loop and getting them what they need to make sure that they’ll output what you consider acceptable. With each new drop, they become more and more powerful, so it’s easier and easier to jump in. Go look at Peter Steinberger’s stuff at https://steipete.me…

HN discussionPeter Steinberger is a well respected developer that started out in the mobile dev community. He founded a company, then made an exit and is set for money, so he just does things for fun. Yes, he AI generated all of it, go through his articles at https://steipete.me/ to see how he does it, it’s definitely not “vibe coding”, he does make sure that what’s being output is solid. He was one of the people in the top char…

HN discussionBut it's measuring quantity, not quality. https://www.folklore.org/Negative_2000_Lines_Of_Code.html What we really need is the -10X engineer ;) Alas, his job would entirely consist of debloating the slop everyone else is pumping out "at inference speed". https://steipete.me/posts/2025/shipping-at-inference-speed
