The Author of Clean Code No Longer Reviews AI-Generated Code

Tweet URL: https://x.com/unclebobmartin/status/2080257779395154409?s=20 Robert Martin, the author of Clean Code, tweeted the following: > I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test cover...

Agentic operating systems will need an audit layer beneath the AI

I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT about what an agentic operating system might look like and the trust problems that would come with it. Below is a compiled summary that I had ChatGPT construct for this post. The full conversation is linked at the bottom, though the first few prompts are about the singularity before the discussion moves into operating systems. I don’t think an agentic OS would literally replace the desktop with one giant chat box. More likely, the OS becomes i...

We started calling video models world models while still grading them on taste

Somewhere in the last year the phrase world model stopped meaning a system that represents how things behave and started meaning any video generator with good marketing. What bothers me is not the word, it's that the evidence never changed to match it. Look at how the last few launches were argued. Black Forest Labs put out FLUX 3 last week and the headline evidence was a preference test the lab ran on itself: its video preferred in 77% of comparisons against Runway Gen-4.5, 93% against Luma R...

How did you get your first expert network invitation?

I've been seeing more people mention expert networks lately, especially consultants and people who've worked in pretty specialized industries. From what I understand, companies sometimes pay for short calls with people who have firsthand experience in a particular field, which honestly sounds interesting. What I'm curious about is how people actually get their first invitation. Do these networks usually reach out through LinkedIn, referrals, or is it worth creating a profile on one of the platfo...

Show HN: Tilde Pay – Give your AI agent a bank account to pay for things

hey HN, I'm Daniel - I built Tilde Pay during a hackathon I took part in and couldn't stop working on it. It's an MCP server you can give your AI agent to buy things online with. It can process both x402, MPP payments & (hopefully soon), any card checkout form online. When you sign up, you get EUR and USD denominated bank account details to send deposits to which convert to USDC within a minute of receipt for your agent to spend in their own crypto wallet. You can then add the MCP server to Herm...

Show HN: Pilot Protocol – a network where AI agents find tools and each other

We built a protocol that gives AI agents an address, plus discovery/trust/payments between agents. Agents install it themselves with one line (see on pilotprotocol.network) - about 250k have, exchanging ~2B packets/day, mostly without their owners’ knowledge. The interesting part for HN is probably the App Store model: publishers list tools, and agents autonomously discover and install them (30k installs in the first two weeks). Happy to answer anything about the architecture, trust model, or th...

I Sat on an Idea for 7 Years. AI Helped Me File for a Patent in 2 Weeks.

7 years ago I had an idea for a dog harness that doesn't tangle. I 3D-printed one part and then stalled, not on the engineering, but on prior art searches, novelty judgment, and drafting a patent specification, none of which I had any background in. This month I handed it to AI and filed the provisional for about $65. Post one of a series where I'm documenting my road from idea, to patent, to business.
