What do you mean you used your phone for code review?

I've lately seen a trend where people use their phone to instruct agent on the cloud to build applications. I presume this is beyond having RDP on your phone

In one of the articles, they said Roomba were greatly affected by tariffs. Well, this company has been in business for a long time and should have figured out how to build roomba in the US, that would have been great innovation.

But like most US corp, they only cared about profits and stock price.

> 8 concurrent agents

how are you managing to run and work between 8 concurrent agents to get through the ask in hand?

I keep seeing git workspace tree + agent combo being mentioned

This might be off topic since we are in topic of AI tool and on HackerNews.

I've been pondering a long time how does one build a startup company in domain they are not familiar with but ... Just have this urge to 'crave a pie' in this space. For the longest time, I had this dream of starting or building a 'AI Legal Tech Company' -- big issue is, I don't work in legal space at all. I did some cold reach on lawfirm related forums which did not take any traction.

I later searched around and came across the term, 'case management software'. From what I know, this is what Cilo fundamentally is and make millions if not billion.

This was close to two years or 1.5 years ago and since then, I stopped thinking about it because of this understanding or belief I have, "how can I do a startup in legal when I don't work in this domain" But when I look around, I have seen people who start companies in totally unrelated industry. From starting a 'dental tech's company to, if I'm not mistaken, the founder of hugging face doesn't seem to have PHD in AI/ML and yet founded HuggingFace.

Given all said, how does one start a company in unrelated domain? Say I want to start another case management system or attempt to clone FileVine, do I first read up what case management software is or do I cold reach to potential lawfirm who would partner up to built a SAAS from scratch? Other school of thought goes like, "find customer before you have a product to validate what you want to build", how does this realistically work?

Apologies for the scattered thoughts...

But who actually processes payment? Is it stipe, bolt or some other payment processor?

How can any of this work without dealing with credit card payment processors

off topic: My goodness, anyone feel the UI/UX of the website to be really refreshing? I've lately been digging compact/industrialized looking UI vs 'touch'/comfort view that take up way too much real estate.

In the .NET ecosystem, I have noticed people to shame .NET MAUI because Microsoft themselves don't use this framework - Microsoft Team is built on Electron and not MAUI.

Why build a product on MAUI when Microsoft aren't too sure about it.

Thank you. I was afraid someone would end up saying employers don't give a damn about personal projects. I've came across this settlement before as employer only care what you did in your day job.

As for stack, I can definitely see demand for Python/node.js for early startup companies where I prefer to be in as of now and move away from enterprise.

On the certification side, my genuine reason is to have structured approach to learn some topic. What is your opinion on picking up Azure and learning the "admin" side of it, like managing group policies or enabling rbac? I might be impatient but this part of azure solution architect perquisites really makes me loose interest in cloud route. Like the fun stuff comes later.

On certification, I can also try to pursue machine learning route by Deeplearning ai or Google.

MLOps does sound something exciting to do since I enjoy tinkering with Linux and deployment.

I'll be honest, I don't want to get myself more onto .net framework. .net core is still fine but what I've seen, there is way more demand for Python/node.js

did you really solo develop this entire application? including dinoki-ai which appears to be SAAS?

legal is definitely one the industry that interests me. is this a very front-end focus start up? or is it heavy on the back-end too?

I genuinely want to benchmark myself with fellow peers how on long they take to consume text book. I am not that into fiction or short fiction books - I generally loose interest.

How long would technical books take you to complete, say you have to read Effective Java 3rd Edition

I can assure you a lot of veteran devs in my company who had major impact were let ago because of off shoring to India and Poland. My employer is a very well known financial institution, think Blackrock, Bloomberg etc.

Public press paints picture of the firm laying off due to adoption of AI. Yet, I can assure you without doubt its not because of it but due to continued offshore.

I think we are at the brink of opening another large campus in India, not sure which city. Oh another thing is these full time position in NA were eliminated and replaced with employees from TCS.

My own boss is against it but its coming from higher ups. I have no idea what's driving them. We made billion in net revenues last year and we are actually part of the org that is in 'cash cow' category - upper management literally said this too in our town halls

how much was this vibe coded? looks cool but its too much for me to digest.

where did you get the original mental model to begin building it?

But solar energy itself cost more than other form of electricity.

But who is driving cost of solar? Is it China?

Thank you for the detail reply. I feel less overwhelmed now and sort of idea for next step to take. I've noticed Andrew NG deep learning specialization to be frequently mentioned along with Karpthy Zero To Hero free course.

I have toyed around free open source models, gemma3n, and running locally, etc.

As per project I did, it was to load up vector database and built a 'mini' agentic chat bot. Nothing fancy like fine tuning a model.

Ambitious project I've been thinking is to build an inference on top of established model, for example inference on deep seek model or llama in Python or Rust. But I run into self doubt since I don't have any formal ML background, so I'm not sure how I can pull it off.

I do keep an eye on trending github project, I'm amazed on project people make. My recent interest has been coding agent that operates within CLI and coding agent that work off git workspace.

This brings back a point I should have mentioned, since I don't have a picture, I am unable to prioritize on which step to take first and from there, branch off.

Can someone please explain to me how do people build these kind of tools? My background is classic Java/C# backend development and SQL. A bit microservice using Spring Boot. Its 8:30pm and I'm watching React tutorials to understand better how modern websites are built - e.g. use useState, useRef etc.

Now, how does any of my experience translate to building tools like cmux? I genuinely want to understand how.

Is the answer to go line by line of cmux code base or make an attempt to open a PR on one of the bugs issues on cmux and, by magic and time, I will eventually understand?

Israel just can't get any more shittier.

> I will mainly do Consultancy and some freelancing,

I am genuinely how did you ascertain working on this will have enough demand for folks to hire you to do consultancy in this space? I have in .NET space and have never heard of this tool before.

Plus, .NET is not that popular either compared to proliferation of python/java/node.js frameworks

Look at HN job threads, .NET demand is very limited.

Great read. But how do people land opportunities to work on exciting project as the author did? I've been trying to get into legal tech in LLM space but I've been unsuccessful.

Anyone here successfully transitioned into legal space? My gut always been legal to the space where LLM can really be useful, the first one is in programming.

I've started to notice there are a lot more rust based desktop application appearing vs say Go based or Java. Most of these apps are cross platforms. My guess is they are trying to compete with Electron. There is Tauri runs on Rust.

Can someone please tell me what special about Rust? Say, why aren't desktop application popular based on say Python?

On tangent, ive seen a lot of terminal base application in typescript and go

What is your tech stack to make this? Is it end to end swift?

I have come to realize these drag and drop no code solution are good for low complexity solution. If project scales, it is better to write code.

I kid you not, we use another no code solution at work and it was originally meant for PM to create workflows. It came to us the devs to make it and we resent daily working on it.

Our life would have been much similar if our workflows had been written in code.

Hi OP, can you tell me how you got started to build tool like this? From what I understand, you are leveraging git worktree under the hood and using LLM agent that work in CLI to maintain 'branch' of version being produced. depending on which agent produces the best version of code, you pivot to that one. And Fleetcode provider solution to manage this.

Did you use TypeScript to build FleetCode because of electron app?

Yup, I know that but my reason to ask was that if most people who develop for IOS also know web development, as in full stack development. or are they usually IOS developer fulltime.

People who code for mobile development, like OP, is IOS development their full time job? Because as someone who does web development, to learn the in and out of Swift programming language and using XCode feel major vendor lockin and prefer say React Native due to its interoperability.

Do you get to use Claude Code through your employer to have the opportunity to spend 100 hours with it? Or do you do this on your own persona project?

I don't you know about you guys but Sam Altman have said they have achieved AGI within OpenAI. That's big.

Is this the same thing as people did the past with '<model> inference written in vanilla Go, Python, Java, etc" ?

Looks slick.

> automatically find your flight details

I appreciate this but can they please go beyond search and instead legitimately find me cheapest price and overall best time to fly? Or strategies to find cheaper fight using different plans or maybe integrated credit point I have, coupons?

I'd love to see AI saving me big money and doing all the hassle for me.

Hi,yes. It makes sense now. To cache the steps and reply. Very efficient strategy than to run the step each time using LLM
