In the next version of Kai, the reviewer works like a teammate. You can talk it through a finding. On this PR the author showed Kai the git history, and Kai said "Fair. Dropping the finding." You can also ask it to fix things. It makes the fix itself instead of handing it off to someone else.

๐Ÿ› Best benchmark for an AI code review tool: your own bug history. Grab 5โ€“10 PRs that later needed a fix. Run each tool on the code before the fix. See who catches it.

๐Ÿ˜˜ Saw tons of complaints about the top AI code reviewers. ๐ŸŒž Took all the top complaints solved them in @kaicontextdev. ๐Ÿคฉ Now @kaicontextdev scores higher on benchmarks and solves biggest complaints.

Curious how people handle fixes from review tools. Do you want a suggested patch right in the PR, or would you rather open it in your coding agent and work through it there?

August 2026 Hacker News Hiring Index: 430 job postings in August. That's 18% fewer than July and 40% fewer than August last year. The thread hasn't been this quiet since 2013. Median pay went up though, to $190k. (1/6)

So far we're at $1,100 raised *before* my match. Please make this tweet more expensive for me!
Donating to hungry state-level campaigns instead of Federal races is smart strategy, and one I want to help succeed. Reply to this tweet with a screenshot of your donation and I'll match up to $10,000. secure.actblue.com/donate/stโ€ฆ

This is ridiculously good. Keep watching. You think you know where it's going by the 20-second mark and I promise, you don't.
We marched, we protested, and risked our lives about change. The true power is in the vote! Martin Luther king protested, but also led people to the polls! Letโ€™s make Election Day the new Christmas ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ—ฃ youtu.be/PQiDpQkC88o

I also canโ€™t stress about how much itโ€™s different for everyone. Remote is major part of our future relationship with knowledge work. I am super excited about doing my part to make it work for _everyone_ (hint, thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m working on ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Iโ€™ve been writing a Test-Driven Development with @elixirphoenix book for a little while. Iโ€™ve decided to make it public even though itโ€™s still very much a work in progress. If itโ€™s of interest to you, give it a look! tddphoenix.com/work-in-progrโ€ฆ #myelixirstatus
