The current state of LLM-driven development

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-25 06:17:16

I spent the past ~4 weeks trying out all the new and fancy AI tools for software development. Let’s get a few things out of the way: Learning how to use LLMs in a coding workflow is trivial. There is no learning curve. You can safely ignore them if they don’t fit your workflows at the moment. LLMs won’t magically make you deliver production-ready code If you can’t read the code and spot issues, they’re hard to use past the PoC stage They have terrible code organization skills, making them los

Hoto Snapbloq Tools Review: Attractive Power Tools

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-11-23 22:00:00

Tools often have a utilitarian design. Their purpose is to get stuff done, so their shape is exclusively focused on getting stuff done. This is where the Hoto SnapBloq toolkit is unique: These tools emphasize style and design to prove that functionality doesn’t need to have a rugged, utilitarian, and (typically) unappealing style. Hoto’s SnapBloq line is a set of three small power tools meant for tinkerers and hobbyists. The full set consists of a screwdriver, a rotary tool, and a drill, along

An LLM does not need to understand MCP

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-30 10:52:24

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the standard for tool calling when building agents, but contrary to popular belief, your LLM does not need to understand MCP. You might have heard about the term "context engineering"; where you, as the person interacting with an LLM, are responsible for providing the right context to help it answer your questions. To gather this context, you can use tool calling to give the LLM access to a set of tools it can use to fetch information or take actions. MCP

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it's making us work harder

A note: This is a different kind of post than I usually send from After Burnout. Instead of something raw, short, and personal, this is more of a deep-dive article. But given how much this topic connects to burnout and our relationship with productivity tools, it felt important to share. We were promised a productivity revolution. AI tools would handle the boring stuff, freeing us to focus on creative, strategic work. We’d finally have time to think, to innovate, to maybe even leave the office

These Are the Photoshop AI Tools Worth Using: How I Use AI to Edit My Photos

You don't need to be a Photoshop expert to give its new generative AI a test drive. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years, and if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars.

AI tools are widely used by software developers, but those devs and their managers are still grappling with figuring out how exactly to best put the tools to use, with growing pains emerging along the way. That's the takeaway from the latest survey of 49,000 professional developers by community and information hub StackOverflow, which itself has been heavily impacted by the addition of large language models (LLMs) to developer workflows.
