alt Hacker NewsShould I apologize for being excited about something I built and use daily and for wanting people to try it, discuss it, critique it? Not sure by the tone of your message.

Don't apologize. Keep writing and trying things. Ignore the haters and non-curious, listen to the (even if salty) interested.
There's a fair amount of talk right now about the value being in the verification layer -- once there's a hard verification loop, the agents can do amazing things without getting (permanently) sidetracked. I think what you're working on is half way there -- in essence, you're probably relying on the LLMs notion of what a spec is and should be to the codebase.
What's not currently solved, and what I think is very interesting is how much automation can be added to the creation of verification. We all would unlock a lot more speed and productivity for even moderate gains on that side.
No need to apologize, just don’t act surprised when people call you out.
Read the room. What you "built" is neither exciting, nor something most people want to "try". Why? Because just like other AI boosters, you are still trying to somehow optimise the usage of natural language to make it work. But it will never "work" because the way the stochastic ML system is built, it has a failure built into the system.
