no one is mentioning DJI? they are also crushing go pro with DJI Osmo lineup, action or nano.

Agreed.this paper studied 33k+ agent-authored PRs on GitHub (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15195)

#1 rejection reason: missing context. 80% needed human fixes. Agents can write code fine. They just don't know what "done" looks like in your codebase.

Count successful merges into repos with real history instead of LOC and the hard part is specification, not execution.

Wrote about this topic @ https://www.augmentcode.com/blog/the-end-of-linear-work

what if you move from reviewing the code to reviewing the spec?

At Augment' we've been working on this. Multi agents orchestration, spec driven, different models for different tasks, etc.

https://www.augmentcode.com/product/intent

can use the code AUGGIE to skip the queue. Bring your own agent (powered by codex, CC, etc) coming to it next week.

At augment code we specifically build our code review tool to find noise to signal ratio problem. In benchmark our comments are 2 to 3x more likely to get fixed compared to bugbot coderabbit etc

You should check it at Augmentcode.com

Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...

Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.

is this a mishap/ leak? dont see the model yet

At augmentcode.com, we've been evaluating Haiku for some time, it's actually a very good model. We found out it's 90% as good as Sonnet and is ~34% faster than sonnet!

Where it doesn't shine much is on very large coding task. but it is a phenomenal model for small coding tasks and the speed improvement is much welcome

Fivetran acquired Census (reverse-etl) & Tobiko (dbt alternative).

I wonder who's next to really consolidate their platform play and compete with the old legacy MDM provider like Informatica. Data Observability or Catalog like Monte Carlo and Atlan. The whole Modern Data Stack has either died, acquired or merged by now. Wonder what's missing for Fivetran to IPO too.

I also wonder what this merge means for Airbyte who raised 150m at 1.5b in 2023.

This is what we do at Augmentcode.com.

We started with building the best code retrieval and build an agent around it.

the MTR study is a joke. it surveyed only 16 devs. in the era of Sonnet 3.5

Can we stop citing this study

I'm not saying the DORA study is more accurate, but at least it surveyed 5000 developers, globally and more recently (between June 13 and July 21, 2025) which means using the most recent SOTA models

Didn't the tldr of grok 4 was their over tuned for bencmhark results but in day to day tasks . It's actual not better than o3 / gpt5

This is great work. Would love to see Augmentcode.com remote agent. If you are down OP, msg and I'll give you a free subscription to add to the test

Check augmentcode.com

does that mean that Windsurf will only support OpenAI models going forward? I doubt OpenAI will pay to have users use Gemini/Claude? Especially as all of these Ai coding tools (Windsurf, Augment, Cursor) are heavily subsidizing the users.

I wonder what Anthropic makes of this. Windsurf was like a top 3 customers of them, might be a big revenue blow too?

Have you checked Augmentcode.com? On reddit/youtube people are praising it for how well it handle large codebase compared to Cursor and Windsurf

This is great. Especially debugging frontend issue on localhost or staging.

Also works flawlessly with augment code.com too!

at Augment (https://augmentcode.com) we were one of the partner who tested 3.7 pre-launch. And it has been a pretty significant increase in quality and code understanding. Happy to answer some questions

FYI, We use Claude 3.7 has part of the new features we are shipping around Code Agent & more.

Hey HN,

Here at Augment, we've worked with a lot of devs who are using Vim, who were consistently unhappy with the state of AI extensions in Vim.

So we decided to build a first-class experience in Vim, with completion and AI chat. It was so fun, we built a special mini-site for it too.

BTW, it's free to try. Would love your thoughts!

IMHO, I would agree with you.

I think chat is a nice intermediary evolution between the CLI (that we use every day) and whatever comes next.

I work at Augment (https://augmentcode.com), which, surprise surprise, is an AI coding assistant. We think about the new modality required to interact with code and AI on a daily basis.

Beside increase productivity (and happiness, as you don't have to do mundane tasks like tests, documentations, etc), I personally believe that what AI can open up is actually more of a way for non-coders (think PMs) to interact with a codebase. AI is really good at converting specs, user stories, and so on into tasks—which today still need to be implemented by software engineers (with the help of AI for the more tedious work). Think of what Figma did between designers and developers, but applied to coding.

What’s the actual "new UI/UX paradigm"? I don’t know yet. But like with Figma, I believe there’s a happy ending waiting for everyone.

Did you look into https://ditto.live/? Its and off-line first db too. I never used it but looks very interesting and would be interested how it compare to the technologies you picked

Do you store the data you received from Segment. If so, how ? and how it is "secured"?

Census | Remote for now, eventually San Francisco | Full Time | https://www.getcensus.com/

Census is a platform for syncing your data warehouse with apps your team uses - Salesforce, Zendesk, Marketo, etc. We're used and loved by data engineers and ops folks at many of your favorite companies.

We're backed by some great investors and are a high-performing small team. Our stack is Rails, Typescript, and Vue, but we are happy to talk with engineers with other expertise.

Open roles include:

- Full stack software engineering

- Customer Data Architect

- Product Designer

- Technical Content Writer

- Growth Marketing Manager

See more at https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Census or shoot me an email: sylvain@getcensus.com

Couldn't agree more.

for me, work like ELT( https://fivetran.com or https://getcensus.com) are the type of work that no engineer in the world will get a promotion from.

data|software|back|platform|etc Engineer's time is better spend on something else than that.

Census what?

Our goal with Census (https://getcensus.com) has always been to help companies unify their disparate internal sources of data about users & organizations and put the information at the commercial team’s fingertips. We build a product that runs on top of Cloud Warehouse and helps teams sync customer & product data to the business tools like Marketo, Salesforce, Intercom, etc.

We already have amazing customers like Figma, Notion, Clearbit, LogDNA, Mode Analytics, Terminus, Rippling, etc. We are looking to expand our small team (7 so far) to continue iterating our product and grow our customer base!

We are a bunch of 2nd-time founders, and a16z backs us with a seed of $4.3m.

You can read more about us on https://blog.getcensus.com/meet-census/

Opening up the console, it looks like they are using pusher.com

Yes you are correct that he probably played a big part in all of this.

That sounds like a sweet deal, especially as Twilio stock is current "overvalued" (like most tech stocks right now).

Jeff Lawson continues to follow the SFDC playbook of buying companies (and existing revenue growth) with stocks everytime their stock pops ;)

How can you make a list of failed yc companies and not mention homejoy?

$66m raised, bad operations, bas unit economics, lawsuits and an abrupt shutdown.

All of that after being the calley darling for so long.

We at Census (https://getcensus.com) are super excited by this S1 filing. Before Snowflake (and Bigquery and Redshift), data was seen as something only the fortune 500 could afford by buying Hadoop clusters and throwing an army of scientists and engineers at it.

But Snowflake has really led the way to democratize Data Warehouse the past few years and educating the market. You can start on a $50/month plan, and in our experience, the pricing scale nicely with the value you are getting out of the data. Snowflake (and Bigquery) also made it a lot less scary to get started by having an easy way to ETL data from 3rd parties (google ads, Salesforce, prod DB, etc.) to your warehouse.

Thank you, Snowflake, for paving the path for startups like Census, Fivetran, DBT, Mode to help (data) engineers and analysts do more with their data
