waldenyan20··on Coding Agents 101: Some tips for using agents productively
We've been working on and using agents for the last two years. There's a lot of gotchas, but also some very creative things we've seen from teams we work with. Put together some of the best tips. If there's things we missed, we'd love to hear and update the guide to include more ideas from the community!

waldenyan20··on Show HN: Regex.ai – AI-powered regular expression generator
Cool hack! I'm having some trouble thinking of a case where I wouldn't just explain to Copilot / ChatGPT what I need. Maybe specifically in cases where I had the raw data but not the column titles?
