Ask HN: How do you go from writing code to deploying with agents?

Hacker News - Sat, 08/08/2026 - 7:54pm

Been doing hardcode agent driven coding for the past year. I feel like I now have to test all my code locally with agents reviewing them and ideally testing them. Unfortunately I feel like the traditional CI/CD testing is starting to feel like a formality. Would love to know what everyone is doing, and if I'm not the only one making a mistake.

Things I learned about how people use AI after 1800 people

Hacker News - Sat, 08/08/2026 - 7:35pm

I'm running a an AI fluency assessment tool and after 1800 real users who interact with our chat bot 20-40 minutes; here are some weird things we found out.

1. The least AI-fluent professionals overestimated their score by 40 points. The most fluent underestimated by 27. 67 point Dunning-Kruger gap.

2. Product managers outscore engineers on AI fluency (59.2 vs 53.7). Applied judgement beats technical knowledge.

3. HR people (ironically who make hiring decisions using AI) understand AI the least, with the lowest AI fluency score.

4. People consistently say they are good with AI, but 2 out 3 fail to reach even proficient level.

5. The average AI fluency score across 1,800 professionals is 48 — squarely in the Developing tier. Most people use AI regularly but without systematic practice.

6. Company-wide AI training assumes everyone starts from the same place. The data says starting points vary by 5x within the same team.

7. Same company, same tools, same training budget. The gap between the least and most AI-fluent employee in one team was 82 points (15 to 97).

Show HN: Defcon and HN, the only two audiences I might find

Hacker News - Sat, 08/08/2026 - 7:21pm

There are exactly two audiences that I can think of that might understand the punchlines which I am rather proud of one is in Las Vegas and the other is right here, which I can reach from my home in Texas. So please check it out.

If there is any interest, I can say more. Enjoy!
