it got the point where my job is to spin up chats with orchestrator that spin up subagents to work on stuff.
problem is, it's too expensive.
we got to the point where I need to cap it cos I could literally be running dozens of chats and burning through my subscription pretty quickly
and my boss is not paying for it
Hi guys,
We’re working on an open source project called Extra, and we’re looking for AI engineers or people how interesting in ai agents. If it’s make you interested our issue list is waiting.

Couldn't think of a better scenario where this was relevant
Seeing a pattern where AI writes the code and reviews it, shared config files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) appear ad-hoc with no clear owner, and nobody's really measuring whether any of it helps beyond "feels faster."
For those working in teams with these tools:
Trying to understand how widespread this is. (Doing MSc research on it - will share findings.)
As a marketer, watching the AI boom feels like déjà vu. Anyone else see the parallel to how people treated marketing?
To preface, I’m not an engineer. I’m someone who usually sits at the intersection of marketing, technology and data.
From where I sit, it feels like AI is doing to engineering what everyone historically did to marketing: making people on the outside look at it and think, "How hard can it be? I could totally do that myself."
I’m learning Python without relying on AI tools to write code for me. What I want to understand is whether, during code reviews, my work will be overshadowed by AI‑generated solutions. Specifically, I’m concerned that if my code only needs a small improvement, it might still be replaced entirely with something that looks more like AI‑written code. I’m trying to develop my own problem‑solving style — not because I think programming is about “fashion,” but because I want to grow creatively and technically. I’m worried that being pushed toward “the AI way” could limit that growth, even if my initial solutions aren’t the most efficient but still solve the problem.
I really like the MPL, but it's missing a network clause like AGPL, are there any licenses that cover this? While being similar to the MPL?
Hey guys,
I do want to know what kind of coding questions our market asks in the technical market.
I want some examples.
Everyone's arguing about vibe coding, but I think we're missing something.
I'm seeing non-coders and junior developers shipping products they've wanted to build for years. Sure, many of them have security issues, poor architecture, and plenty of technical debt. That's a real concern. At the same time, I see a lot of senior developers spending more energy mocking these projects than building alternatives.
If AI has lowered the barrier to shipping, shouldn't experienced engineers be the ones benefiting the most? You already understand architecture, security, scalability, testing, and deployment. You can use the same tools while avoiding most of the mistakes beginners make.
Instead of saying, "This app is garbage because it was vibe coded," why not build something that's 10x better? It feels similar to the early days of WordPress, no-code tools, or even Stack Overflow. People dismissed them, then quietly adopted them.
Maybe "vibe coding" isn't replacing software engineering. Maybe it's just changing who gets to build software.
Curious what people think. Are we witnessing another shift in how software gets made, or is this just a temporary hype cycle?
Am I the only one who likes to over-engineer programs? Especially now with the aid of AI.
Like, using only P-cores to do some intensive math in parallel, instead of just petting the os to decide.
What is your pride of over-engineered solution?
No one will judge us.
Hello everyone!
As part of my doctoral research, I'm conducting a survey on how developers (including testers and QAs) incorporate accessibility into their everyday work.
I would greatly appreciate your participation.
Your responses will help improve the tools, processes, and practices that support accessibility in software development. Thank you for your time and support!
⏱️ The survey takes around 15 minutes.

Thank you to everyone who will take the time to participate! 🙏
