Ask HN: Stop Looking at Code?

1•grandimam•49m ago
There is a recent trend in tech where software development is being done by not looking at code but merely the output.

Some of the recent examples include the Bun Rust migration, etc. I wanted to understand both from startup’s and experienced individuals how do you see the trend, are we really moving towards a workflow where we simply optimize the loop or graph and code is merely an artifact this is produced as part of this workflow similar to bytecode or something?

This is where industry is heading long-term, yes. Will take many years to get there. My favorite examples so far are from StrongDM. See https://factory.strongdm.ai/

I'm a huge proponent of that with my team. We stopped doing PR reviews and instead do session reviews. It just makes so much more sense now. It's more important to understand the conversation, context, decisions made, why were they made that way, and so forth. More than the lines of code themselves, especially with the massive increase in PRs volume.

Wrote about it here: https://aq.dev/guides/how-to-review-an-ai-coding-session/ and how we do it here: https://aq.dev/guides/how-to-review-an-ai-coding-session/

I hope this helps.
