I agree. But I believe I need to do more baby sitting on a greenfield project than an existing project. "garbage in, garbage out" applies at every step.

As soon as I realize that it was AI generated, I stop reading. If I am on social media, I also unfollow the account that posted it. There is also a great blog post on this. [1] There is also one other point. To me, everything that comes from an AI needs verification. It goes to a grey area in my mind. It is neither true nor false which makes it very hard for me to learn from AI as well.

Thanks
You are absolutely right! :)
I was heavily using AI for my blog/social media posts. Then I realized I lost my “voice”.
Also as a reader, I started having a habit of stopping halfway through an article if I realize that it was generated by AI.
Now I am only using to check my grammar, since I am a non-native speaker.
Cursor $20 subscription is also very good. auto is usually decent. I use composer 2 for heavy tasks and it does good job. If I need some UI polish, I switch to gemini 3.1 pro. The trick is to stay at auto/composer 2. But if you try to use other premium models too much, then you’ll hit the limit as well.
Interesting though I am actually looking for something that I can use from my mobile phone like an app maybe ?
I felt that too, when I first used cursor/claude code, it was awesome and I just wanted keep building, the dopamine hit after shipping is really good. But later, when I needed to inspect the code manually, and I realized there were a lot of trash/dead/unoptimized code. I started drowning in the mess I generated. It is good until you need manual changes.
I think there are people connecting their emails to clean up stuff, auto-reply etc.
I currently use it for 3 things, all of them are cron jobs that runs in the morning.
1- Check hacker news for AI related news and compile a digest 2- Check new YC companies in the P26 batch 3- Check ladybird and summarize the commits in the last 24 hour.
LoL. So funny! Tbh, my L*nkedIn feed is full of this kinda crappy posts. I tried to fight the algorithm, unfollowed people etc. But I think there is no way of winning.
Input: I’ve eaten banana
Output: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve successfully completed the consumption of a high-potassium superfruit today.

Freezing the browser at every step is a very good approach. I am also working on an agent browser. It uses wireframe snapshots instead of screenshots to reduce token cost. https://github.com/agent-browser-io/browser
I also tweaked it a little to promote the agent-browser project. This is super interesting!
I’ve been thinking about how AI desktop clients like ChatGPT and Claude are expanding beyond chat. With MCP, MCP Apps, and now WebMCP, they could start interacting more directly with services and websites.
I gathered a few thoughts about what that might mean for browsers and wrote a short post about it.
Especially LinkedIn + AI Slop Posts are just unbearable.
I am using Rust By Example Book. https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/
Looks Cool! Navigation is good overall. But It would be great if I could use ArrowUp/ArrowDown to scroll in scrollable areas and focus on buttons as well.
Nice Project! You can also keep track of the recordings that the user already listened and pick the random from the ones user hasn't listened yet.
A few hours ago. I am learning a new language (rust) so I disabled auto complete and AI suggestions. Otherwise AI becomes more of a distraction than a booster.
But for languages I am more confident (like JS and dart), I usually don't write code and only review it.
If it is a throw-away project (like I am only experimenting something or just need something for one time), I don't event look at the code and only focus on the outcomes.
I've seen a YC startup working on this. https://silahq.com/
As the article states, it is a "wild experiment". I wouldn't let AI control anything serious end to end. Also if Claude really becomes JIT, it is going to be an expensive one.
The idea is interesting though.
LoL :) that makes sense, but what if there is a new AI model releases when I am offline.
Hi HN! I'm the dev behind Agent Browser.
I was building AI agents that browse the web and kept hitting the same wall: sending screenshots or accessibility snapshots to the model burns tokens and is slow. So I tried rendering pages as ASCII wireframes instead.
Every interactive element gets a numbered label. The agent sees a compact text representation and says "click [12]" or "type [5] hello". A typical page costs 3x to 10x less tokens depending on the content.
You can use it with the Vercel AI SDK or as an MCP server. To add it to Cursor or Claude Desktop:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-browser": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@agent-browser-io/browser", "mcp"]
}
}
}Still experimental, would love your feedback. Happy to answer questions!
Github stars started feeling more and more meaningless every day.
I was also thinking about more or less the same thing with APIs and MCPs. The companies that didn't have any public apis are now exposing MCPs. That, to me is quite interesting. Maybe it is the FOMO effect.
