Hey HN, I wanted to share a few tips I use to get more out of coding agents connected to a browser!


I had access to GitHub Copilot as a student in early 2022 while learning Haskell and immediately realised that it would hinder my learning if I didn't turn it off and implicitly follow this understand, plan, execute, reflect loop.

AI products like Cursor have the notion of an 'autonomy slider' [1] that can fortunately be turned all the way down (disable Cursor Tab) but relying on this discipline seems fickle when with the right agentic loops [2] and context engineering, thousands of lines of code can be churned out with minimal supervision.

I've considered always working on two projects over a long timespan, one with no AI assistance, possibly in a separate IDE like Zed, and one in Vibe Kanban (my current daily driver) but this feels like an inefficient proxy to accelerating this four step learning loop with a tool like solveit.

Since the solveit product isn't released and seemingly isn't competing with solutions, is there an opportunity to convey how AI product developers should be thinking about amplifying their users and keeping them in the learning loop?

So far, I've seen Claude Code's Learning output style [3], and also ChatGPT's study mode but in these cases, the only product change is a prompt and solveit is more than that.

I discovered the "Layered Tool Pattern" a few days ago which exposes three tools to discover and execute an arbitrary number of service endpoints. https://engineering.block.xyz/blog/build-mcp-tools-like-ogre...


I used this throughout my computer science degree, and it worked a charm. Now I rely on it as a solid personal knowledgebase.


looking forward to the new tool

Icing on the cake


Why didn't they include Whoop or Oura?


The lack of a bug bounty program doesn't prohibit them from rewarding reported vulnerabilities.


do they though?


Some of the work from Tinycorp is: https://github.com/tinygrad/7900xtx


Only while a vendor is ahead of the others. We developers will favour a vendor with faster inference and lower pricing.


I think real endgame is some kind of "no win no fee" arrangement. In the case of the article in the OP, it'd be if they billed clients per "addressed" comment. It's less clear how that would map onto someone selling direct access to an LLM, though.


then, cartels
