AI bug issue

I think the most difficult part of the AI world is writing simple code—not complicated code with lots of bloated, massive commits, but simple code, like we used to write in the past. The development velocity should be different.

Debugging with protocol

Am I the only one who gets frustrated debugging Python code that relies heavily on Protocol?
I understand why it’s useful. Structural typing is elegant, and it gives you a lot of flexibility.
But when you’re trying to understand an unfamiliar codebase, it can be painful. You see a variable typed as a Protocol, jump to its definition, and… there’s no implementation. Now you have to hunt through the codebase to figure out which concrete class is actually being passed around.
In a large project, that can make understanding the execution flow much harder than it needs to be.
Maybe it’s just a tooling issue, or maybe I’m still getting used to Python after years of Java, but I’m curious how other people deal with this. Does it eventually become second nature?

AI engineers who care about great software

We’re building Extra, an open-source AI agent framework, and we’re looking for contributors.
If you enjoy solving hard engineering problems, we’d love to have you.
We care about code quality. Every PR gets a real review—not just a quick approval. We discuss architecture, challenge design decisions, and aim to keep the codebase something we’re proud of.
We’re working on problems around AI agents, orchestration, MCP, memory, approvals, and developer experience.
If you’re looking for an open-source project where you’ll actually learn from reviews and work on modern AI infrastructure, check out the issues and pick one.
Contributions of all sizes are welcome.

two founders building an agentic layer for saas, looking for a PM to poke holes in it

the idea is simple. right now if your customers wanna do something complex in your app they have to click through a bunch of UI. we think a lot of that should happen through an agentic layer instead, sitting on top of the UI. so instead of digging through menus, they just say what they want and the agent does it. especially useful for big saas systems where the real operations are buried deep.

the engine lets you integrate that in about an hour, with an architecture that keeps each agent focused, accurate and efficient instead of one giant thing that guesses.

what we actually need right now is feedback from someone who knows saas from the inside. so we are looking for a product manager with real industry experience to tell us where we are wrong. if you have built or run saas products we would love 15 min of your time to hear what breaks in practice.

not selling anything, just want honest input from people who have lived it. drop a comment or dm and we will set something up. thanks a lot 🙏

Cool project

Hi, I have a cool open-source platform that I work on, focused on AI engineering. The main goal is that you declare what you want, and our engine creates the architecture for you.
We have a cool community of people who are interested in this world and want to take part in this project.
And if you’re not interested, it would also support us if you just clicked the star.
Thanks, and good luck!

Human in the loop best practices

If we need to implement human-in-the-loop, but we don’t have any indication from the MCP or a third party, and I don’t want the user to approve every tool invocation, what are the best practices?

HIRING] Looking for Open Source Contributors – AI Infrastructure Platform (EXTRA)

Hi everyone!
We’re building EXTRA, an open-source AI infrastructure platform that helps developers build production-ready AI systems.
The core idea is simple:
Describe your AI system. EXTRA builds and manages the infrastructure for you.
Instead of spending time writing orchestration code and infrastructure, EXTRA focuses on handling things like:
Multi-agent orchestration
Human-in-the-loop approvals
MCP integrations
State & checkpointing
Routing
Tool management
Configuration
We’re looking for developers who enjoy building open source and want to contribute to a project from an early stage.
We’re especially interested in people with experience in:
Java
Python
TypeScript
AI Agents / LLMs
MCP
Cloud infrastructure
This is an open-source collaboration (not a paid position), and we’re building it in public.
GitHub:
https://github.com/extra-org/extra
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or open an issue on GitHub. We’d love to collaborate! 🚀
