With the Trump administration's policies and tighter restrictions around H-1B visas, H-1B hiring appears to have slowed considerably.I'm curious whether this has translated into more opportunities for American workers, particularly in the tech industry.Have you noticed any tangible change in the job market?
With all the noise out there, I'm curious how people actually do their coding every day in practice. Pick the setup you spend most of your agent time in. If yours doesn't fit, please describe it in the comments.Disclosure: we built an orchestrator, codealong, before we even knew about some of the other options out there.
Curious how much code developers are actually writing themselves versus generating with tools like Claude/Codex.Roughly what percentage of your code did you write manually over the last 30 days?
Is coding with AI something anyone can do? Or is there a skill to doing it well?
Is anyone here working on a problem for which current generation LLMs are inadequate, but that could possibly be solved by the next release of a first tier LLM?

How often do you skip reading the linked article and only read the comments on HN?
Just curious how much folks here spend for LLM subscriptions personally, i.e. not paid for by your employer if you have one or your own company, but purely for your own pleasure. Personally I have a Claude subscription for 200 USD / month and that's about as much as I'm willing to spend. Since programming is still my passion I think it's worthwhile as I can experiment and create a lot of stuff...
Things have changed so much over the last year. We now have CLIs, desktop IDEs, and cloud agents all mixing together.Many of us are using more than one agent, but there do not seem to be any great, up-to-date stats on what everyone else is using.What are the primary tool or tools you use throughout most of your work day to write code and automate your work with agents?(Hoping our HN overlords...
If hypothetically all global shipping came to a stand-still for a year or two could each country manufacture and locally distribute all the pharmaceutical drugs in a timely manor meaning people do not go into rebound of whatever the effects would be of quitting cold turkey? Anything with NDC code
