A few hours ago. I am learning a new language (rust) so I disabled auto complete and AI suggestions. Otherwise AI becomes more of a distraction than a booster.

But for languages I am more confident (like JS and dart), I usually don't write code and only review it.

If it is a throw-away project (like I am only experimenting something or just need something for one time), I don't event look at the code and only focus on the outcomes.

I've seen a YC startup working on this. https://silahq.com/

As the article states, it is a "wild experiment". I wouldn't let AI control anything serious end to end. Also if Claude really becomes JIT, it is going to be an expensive one.

The idea is interesting though.

LoL :) that makes sense, but what if there is a new AI model releases when I am offline.

Hi HN! I'm the dev behind Agent Browser.

I was building AI agents that browse the web and kept hitting the same wall: sending screenshots or accessibility snapshots to the model burns tokens and is slow. So I tried rendering pages as ASCII wireframes instead.

Every interactive element gets a numbered label. The agent sees a compact text representation and says "click [12]" or "type [5] hello". A typical page costs 3x to 10x less tokens depending on the content.

You can use it with the Vercel AI SDK or as an MCP server. To add it to Cursor or Claude Desktop:

{

  "mcpServers": {

    "agent-browser": {

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agent-browser-io/browser", "mcp"]
    }

  }

}

Still experimental, would love your feedback. Happy to answer questions!

Github stars started feeling more and more meaningless every day.

I was also thinking about more or less the same thing with APIs and MCPs. The companies that didn't have any public apis are now exposing MCPs. That, to me is quite interesting. Maybe it is the FOMO effect.
