You're Sleeping on AI SWEs
engines.devIt's a shame they wait until the end to mention:
> We believe AI software engineers will be a critical piece of infrastructure for every company, customized to their workflows, codebase and business problems.
> We are building a platform to enable that future: tools, context, and sandboxes for AI SWEs.
Ooh, fair point. Did it feel less compelling because we didn't mention that at the top?
It makes it come off like a tutorial mixed up with content marketing which is not a great combo for an HN post.
I see what you mean. So do you think a pure tutorial would have been better?
This is our first HN post so I was trying to strike a good balance between talking about what we think the future will look like and briefly mentioning what we're up to.
I could definitely have kept it to a tutorial, though, and saved the plug for what we're building for a later Show HN or Launch HN.

There's a longer version of some of these you can just ask dang for.
When something is, essentially, a marketing piece for the author, it is, at least, good manners for the author to mention that upfront.
