What Hacker News says?
The best way to get an LLM to follow style is to make sure that this style is evident in the codebase. Excessive instructions (whether through memories or AGENT.md) do not help as much. Personally, I absolutely hate instructing agents to make corrections. It's like pushing a wet noodle. If there is lots to correct, fix one or two cases manually and tell the LLM to follow that pattern. https://www.humanlayer.dev/blog…

HN discussionThis article seems to focus a lot on non-technical founders using Claude Code, which is a notable turn from Anthropic's previous strategy of focusing on experienced software engineers. Looking at the websites of the startups, two [1,2] seem much higher quality than what Claude is capable of out-of-the-box while the third [3] is clearly vibecoded and is a bit of a mess. - [1]: https://humanlayer.dev - [2]: https://am…
