What Hacker News says?
I see what you mean, but I’m saying something else, I think plan modes were solving two different problems: 1. giving the agent sufficiently precise instructions 2. helping the human understand what’s being built I think #1 is increasingly going away as models get better. #2 is a separate problem, and I actually think it matters more as agents get more capable. I’m not arguing that human understanding should disappe…

HN discussionI see what you’re saying. That’s actually why I built Nuanced ( https://www.nuanced.dev ), I wanted a better way for humans and agents to work through intent before the code got written. but I think I overfit the interface to how I used to work without agents. when I was at GitHub, I wrote a lot of ADRs, RFCs, and design docs, and I liked that because writing is how I clarify my own thinking. with agents though, I’m…

HN discussionAt Nuanced, we're building tools that make AI-generated code more reliable. As AI writes more code, we need better tools to trust it and technologies that ensure our human understanding keeps pace with this rapid development. While everyone else races to ship new features with AI, we're focused on addressing gaps in AI coding tools and ensuring those features are reliable and maintainable rather than code that works…
