The New Waydev

Measure the full AI SDLC. From token to production.

The New Waydev launched on April 20, 2026 with 299 votes, #72 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

The New Waydev tracks AI-generated code from development through production deployment. It measures which AI agents write code that actually ships, monitoring metrics like tokens consumed, cost per pull request, and acceptance rates across teams and repositories. The tool compares different AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, allowing teams to calculate cost per shipped PR and measure AI return on investment. It includes AI Checkpoints for detailed code tracking and an agent interface for queries.

From the sources

AI agents write code. Most teams cannot tell you what percentage actually ships. Waydev tracks agent-generated code from IDE to production with AI Checkpoints: which agent, tokens consumed, cost per PR, acceptance rate, deployment status. Per team, per repo, per vendor. Compare Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code on what reaches your customers. Measure cost per shipped PR and AI ROI. Ask the Waydev Agent anything.

✅ Waydev’s developer productivity insights deliver unparalleled insights into engineering productivity using AI Agents, DORA Metrics, Developer Experience (DX) analysis, and the SPACE Framework. Our Developer Productivity Insight platform helps you optimize SDLC, streamline development processes, and align engineering efforts with strategic business objectives.

    Hey HN, We’re building Weave: an ML-powered tool to measure engineering output, that actually understands engineering output! Why? Here’s the thing: almost every eng leader already measures output - either openly or behind closed doors. But they rely on metrics like lines of code (correlation with effort: ~0.3), number of PRs, or story points (slightly better at ~0.35). These metrics are, frankly, terrible proxies for productivity. We’ve developed a custom model that analyzes code and its impact directly, with a far better 0.94 correlation. The result? A standardized engineering output…

    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, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

  • AI Code Detector – detect AI-generated code with 95% accuracy2025 · code-detector.ai · ▲72

    Hey HN, I’m Henry, cofounder and CTO at Span (https://span.app/). Today we’re launching AI Code Detector, an AI code detection tool you can try in your browser. The explosion of AI generated code has created some weird problems for engineering orgs. Tools like Cursor and Copilot are used by virtually every org on the planet – but each codegen tool has its own idiosyncratic way of reporting usage. Some don’t report usage at all. Our view is that token spend will start competing with payroll spend as AI becomes more deeply ingrained in how we build software, so understanding how…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
