Re:Get Shit Done: A Meta-Prompting, Context Engineering and Spec-Drive... on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @01:10AM (#47421804)
Agreed.this paper studied 33k+ agent-authored PRs on GitHub (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15195)

#1 rejection reason: missing context. 80% needed human fixes. Agents can write code fine. They just don't know what "done" looks like in your codebase.

Count successful merges into repos with real history instead of LOC and the hard part is specification, not execution.

what if you move from reviewing the code to reviewing the spec?
Re:Orchestrate teams of Claude Code sessions on Thursday February 05, 2026 @01:57PM (#46903434)
At Augment' we've been working on this. Multi agents orchestration, spec driven, different models for different tasks, etc.

https://www.augmentcode.com/product/intent

can use the code AUGGIE to skip the queue. Bring your own agent (powered by codex, CC, etc) coming to it next week.

Re:There Is an AI Code Review Bubble on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @02:45AM (#46776697)
At augment code we specifically build our code review tool to find noise to signal ratio problem. In benchmark our comments are 2 to 3x more likely to get fixed compared to bugbot coderabbit etc

Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...

Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.

Re:Claude Haiku 4.5 on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @01:59PM (#45596264)
At augmentcode.com, we've been evaluating Haiku for some time, it's actually a very good model. We found out it's 90% as good as Sonnet and is ~34% faster than sonnet!

Where it doesn't shine much is on very large coding task. but it is a phenomenal model for small coding tasks and the speed improvement is much welcome

Re:A16Z-backed data firms Fivetran, dbt Labs to merge in all-stock deal on Monday October 13, 2025 @02:01PM (#45571435)
Fivetran acquired Census (reverse-etl) & Tobiko (dbt alternative).

I wonder who's next to really consolidate their platform play and compete with the old legacy MDM provider like Informatica. Data Observability or Catalog like Monte Carlo and Atlan. The whole Modern Data Stack has either died, acquired or merged by now. Wonder what's missing for Fivetran to IPO too.

I also wonder what this merge means for Airbyte who raised 150m at 1.5b in 2023.
