damn I'm legit not AI bro I think we're all just getting too skeptical these days. Just wanted to express my viewpoint and I mentioned what we're building because it seemed relevant, this isn't a sales motivated post.

I built products at Stripe as an engineer and never worked with an explicit QA team. Each team was responsible for the quality to a large extent.

That being said, QA is definitely an important aspect of software development - regardless of who owns this work. Imo, instead of having a QA engineer per team or a few teams, you should have a QA shape role (similar to AVE you mentioned) that oversees a large area like an Org and pushes hard to make sure quality standards are held high across teams.

It's also trivial for engineers these days to have great e2e automated test coverage with AI. We're actually building getlark.ai that helps engineers with this.

We are Vijit and Jack working on Runtime Use (https://docs.runtimeuse.com/): an open source runtime that lets you run agents (Claude, Open AI, custom, etc) in any sandbox.

It provides a simple runtime + client layer for controlling agents in a sandbox: - start an agent server inside a sandbox (npx -y runtimeuse@latest) - send prompts, stream outputs, and exchange files over websocket - cancel or manage long-running tasks

By default it runs an OpenAI Agents SDK agent with shell + web search tools. You can switch to Claude code agent with --agent=claude.

A Python client connects to the sandbox and lets you interact with the agent programmatically. Docs and quickstart available at the linked website.

We built this while working on https://getlark.ai/ where agents run in sandbox environments to generate end-to-end tests. Getting the infrastructure right took significant effort, so we extracted and open-sourced the runtime layer.

We’re excited to hear any feedback, thoughts, questions, and concerns in the comments!

I had a few friends that felt this way but gradually they have become more accepting of AI as they try out tools for themselves and feel that productivity boost.

I think they'll still continue to matter. Ofc if you're just trying to write some simple code you don't really need a degree, but I'd trust someone who understands the fundamentals of computing way more than someone who doesn't when it comes to working on complex optimization problems (like squeezing the last bit of efficiency from your CPUs). I know AI is getting really good at all this stuff, but I still think that there have to be people that understand this stuff deeply (even if they use AI to develop this deep understanding). It also shouldn't take 4 years for a CS degree now imo given that it is so much easier to grasp concepts with LLM assisted learning.

I built a free tool https://rockyai.me/ to chat with web pages and it supports pdfs, github code in a PR, long HN threads (like who is hiring, etc). Mostly built this because I was tired of copy pasting content into chat gpt all the time.

For https://rockyai.me/ (chat with any webpage using LLMs) a lot of my first users came from my friend circle! I would also share it with someone if I came across a thread (on twitter, reddit or HN) where I saw a problem that could be easily solved by this tool

I think it speeds up learning programming because you don't have to spend a few minutes trying to find answers to your questions when you can just ask LLMs about it and get an instant answer. Ofc everything LLMs say can't be trusted so it's important to verify things and use your own judgement to decide if the LLM answer seems reasonable or not.

There are also tools like https://rockyai.me/ that are making LLMs accessible within your browser so you don't even have to context switch between chat gpt and the tab you are on to ask LLMs questions. I use this all the time when reading engineering blog and I want to dig more into a specific section that I don't understand

https://rockyai.me/ - a chrome extension that lets you chat with webpages using LLMs. Example use cases:

- get tldr of a long article

- draft personalized outbound linked messages

- search if a specific company or type of role is posted on a long HN WHO IS HIRING thread

- ask questions when reading research papers on arxiv without context switching into chat gpt, etc

Not exactly a side hustle but you can always spend time building interesting projects. For example, I built https://rockyai.me/ for me and my friends that lets you chat with webpages using LLMs (like get a tldr of new articles). Avoids having to copy past content from webpages into Chatgpt all the time.

I tried Arc for a bit and liked it, but I still use chrome as my primary browser for now. One thing I liked about Arc was their chat with webpage using AI feature which I couldn't find in chrome so I built https://rockyai.me/ to offer that!

- Wake up at like 6:30 and make my smoothie for breakfast (oats, frozen fruits, yogurt + whole milk) which is rich in protein and fiber - Shower and then spend some time reading news (hackernews, news.google.com, etc). I'll use https://rockyai.me/ to speed run through some articles with a quick summarization - Head into work around 8ish so I can get a head start and wrap things early in the evening

Love this! It'd be interesting if some builds this but adds more dimensions (similar to Company status) to it that you can query or group by. For example, if I look at S21 and W21 batches, then it'd be nice to know things like -

1. How many of these companies made it to series A, series B, etc

2. How many of these companies have > x employees (where x can be 5, 10, 20, etc)

3. How many of these companies had a founder that moved on to something else

This does require a lot more intelligent data scraping or manual data collection though.

https://rockyai.me/ - a free chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage using LLMs (ex: for summarizing articles, HN comments, drafting personalized linkedin outbound messages, etc).

It also lets you use your own OpenAI key for folks that are concerned about privacy. Here's an article an early user wrote about this https://medium.com/p/fae6467fc7d4

nah that's an early user :)

https://rockyai.me/ - a chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage using LLMs. Just a simple side project that I wanted to build for me and my friends. Don't intent to monetize it
