24 alternatives to Is AI "good" yet? – tracking HN sentiment on AI coding

A survey tracking developer sentiment on AI-assisted coding through Hacker News posts.

This project tracks developer sentiment on AI-assisted coding by analyzing discussions from Hacker News posts. It surveys opinions from the software development community to gauge whether AI coding tools are meeting… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi everyone, we developed a tool that can easily tell you the overall sentiment of a message based on a word. For now it’s hacker news only but we think this thing has potential. Whether you’re a startup, solopreneur or product manager, you can track trends with it. We are also planning to add predictive tools and real time analysis. Operationally this tool is a lot cheaper than Sprout Social or other similar solutions on the market. No sign-up required. Just type and see results. I'd love your feedback on the tool's usefulness and any ideas for improvement.

    I built an API that extracts entities from Hacker News comments and classifies sentiment towards them as positive, negative, or neutral. It also classifies overall comment sentiment and assigns each entity a label (person, location, date, technology, organization, other). 505k+ comments, Oct 31 - Present. Here's the leaderboard: LOVED: - Steve Jobs: 44% positive, 7% negative - Linus Torvalds: 43% positive, 5% negative - Gabe Newell: 34% positive, 8% negative MID: - Bill Gates: 22% positive, 8% negative - Tim Cook: 15% positive, 30% negative - Bezos: 12% positive, 18% negative HATED: -…

    Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

    Hi HN, I spent a few weeks looking at the top HN posts of all time. This included exploration, clustering, creating visualizations, and zooming in on what (to me personally) seems like some of the best discussions on here. Three things in this post: 1- The interesting groups of HN posts 2- The interactive visualizations that you can explore in your browser 3- The data from this exploration -- this includes CSV of the titles as well as the text embeddings of 3,000 Ask HN articles. Blog post about this whole process here: [1] ============ 1- The interesting groups of HN posts From the…

    I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly. I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres. Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of…

    I've been using Claude Code heavily, and kept hitting the same issue: the agent would push changes, respond to reviews, wait for CI... but never really know when it was done. It would poll CI in loops. Miss actionable comments buried among 15 CodeRabbit suggestions. Or declare victory while threads were still unresolved. The core problem: no deterministic way for an agent to know a PR is ready to merge. So I built gtg (Good To Go). One command, one answer: $ gtg 123 OK PR #123: READY CI: success (5/5 passed) Threads: 3/3 resolved It aggregates CI status, classifies review comments…

    Hey HN community, I built a tool that helps optimize your post for hitting the first page of Show HN. How it works: I used a Hugging Face dataset of all Hacker News posts from the past 3 years and trained a model that predicts how successful your post might be. There's still a lot of randomness on HN, so nothing is guaranteed, but the tool helps optimize your post for higher odds. A couple of interesting findings: - GitHub repo links work x3 better than regular domains - Open-source tools have a steady virality rate (13.9% - one of the highest) - "I built" outperforms "We built" - Using…

    Hi HN, I made Ethos, an open-source tool to visualize the discourse on Hacker News. It extracts entities, tracks sentiment, and groups discussions by concept. Check it out: https://ethos.devrupt.io This was a "budget build" experiment. I managed to ship it for under $1 in infra costs. Originally I was using `qwen3-8b` for the LLM and `qwen3-embedding-8b` for the embedding, but I ran into some capacity issues with that model and decided to use `llama-3.1-8b-instruct` to stay within a similar budget while having higher throughput. What LLM or embedding would you have used within the…

    I'm not interested in politics or business, yet I somehow end up wasting time reading them here. That's why I've decided to create a Hacker News-like forum exclusively for software development-related topics. I find ranking to be unnecessary since i don't see more than 50-100 posts a day. I will add a comments feature once there are enough users. I hope FollowDev helps you discover new & unique content

    We did a quick side project over the weekend and called it HN Trends (while posting we realized there was an older site with the same name so hopefully there is no confusion). We wanted to see what was trending in terms of keywords (buzzwords, tech, etc) and found a nice API. URL: http://www.hntrends.com Let us know what you think - thanks!
