Ask HN: What AI tools help me understand a MR?

I'm trying to incorporate AI code tools into my flow, but my issue is that I spend a lot of time code reviewing AI. I know there is vibe-coding vs engineering and I'm trying to stay on the engineering side while trying to figure out how to properly use AI. In that spirit, I wanted to find an AI tool that helps me code review better. More specifically, look at a diff and present it to me in a way that makes it easier for me to understand what is going on. I am not looking for a tool to do a code ...

Ask HN: How will programming language design change as more code comes from AI?

It appears that we're moving to a world where human programmers deal less and less with specific code details. How do you expect/prefer language designers' priorities to shift? e.g. less toward human friendliness changes, more towards machine verifiability, etc?

Ask HN: Caution on using AI security platforms for repositories.

Show HN: I told people I'm a convicted felon after 20 years of hiding it

Hi there. I was engineer number 3 at Eventbrite and founding engineer at Reforge. I've created a dozen or so startups myself and have worked in many others, like Instacart. All this time, no one knew that I was a convicted felon. It wasn't exactly a topic that came up, but it was certainly something that I never brought up. When you're a convicted felon, people look at you as if you are tainted. I was unable to rent apartments in San Francisco. I was unable to get a job directly after being rele...
