It's really quite interesting how there are always posts on HN with people talking about how AI made their life great, did it cheaply, made a great product, and saved the day. But whenever someone asks for specifics, the questions are always dodged or answered very vaguely. It's rare that anyone ever even says what their product does.

To be fair, thraway3837 posted a reply on a sibling comment and offered "AMA" :).

That said, I do see a lot of those posts you're talking about, and I think a lot of AI development is way overhyped. But I also think internal tools like this can be a good use case.

Personally "none of them have read any more than a few lines of code" makes me wary, but if it works for them, then so be it!

I have Claude work on web app testing scripts written in java using JUnit and selenium. The scripts test a vibe maintained flight booking app for an airline I can't mention without doing myself. The app is maintained using copilot by another vender. Claude was given to our team by our employer. We aren't even employees of the airline just contractors under a vendor. Before Claude was adopted everyone secretly used whatever chatbot they preferred. I used opencode with Deepseek v4.

I'm happy to provide specifics, within reason, of course. Ask away. I've since responded to comments with more detail, but if I missed something there, let me know!
