rane commented on We put a coding agent in a while loop   github.com/repomirrorhq/r... · Posted by u/sfarshid

People keep saying that Gemini 2.5 Pro can solve some problem that Sonnet 4 cannot, or that GPT5 can solve a problem that Gemini 2.5 Pro cannot, or that Sonnet 4 can solve some problem that GPT5 cannot.

There was a blog article about mixing together different agents into the same conversation, taking turns at responses and improving results/correctness. But it takes a lot of effort to make your own claude-code-clone with correct API for each provider and prompts tuned for those models and tool use integrated etc. And there's no incentive for Anthropic/OpenAI/Google to write this tool for us.

OTOH it would be relatively easy for the bash loop to call claude code, codex CLI, etc in a loop to get the same benefit. If one iteration of one tool gets stuck, perhaps another LLM will take a different approach and everything can get back on track.

Just a thought.

Most definitely can. It's insane how well just telling Claude to ask help from Gemini works in practice.

> Why would these people disclose their use of AI?

Because lying about your usage of AI is a good way to get completely kicked out of the open source community once caught. That's like asking 'why should you bother with anti-cheating measures for speedruns'. Why should we have any guidelines or regulations if people are going to bypass them? The answer I hope should be very obvious.

> high quality PRs with AI will get the "AI slop" label. At this point, why even disclose if the AI-assisted high-quality PR is indistinguishable from having been manually written (which it should be)? No point.

Then obviously the repository in question doesn't want people using AI and you should go elsewhere. They're not even against LLM tooling for this repo but people are freaking out because how dare you ask me to disclose what tools I'm using.

Getting kicked out from open source community for lying about using AI? Haha, good one.

Spending at minimum five minutes would tell you why maintainers are implementing this change. It's because people using LLMs are spamming open source repos with fake issues, incredibly low quality but high effort to review PRs and shutting down the active communication process between reviewer and reviewee by not even understanding their own code.

Why would these people disclose their use of AI? These are not responsible and thoughful users of AI. The slop producers won't disclose, and the responsible users who produce high quality PRs with AI will get the "AI slop" label. At this point, why even disclose if the AI-assisted high-quality PR is indistinguishable from having been manually written (which it should be)? No point.

OP is not blaming the AI - did you read the post? AI does enable shitty humans to open PRs with code they have no comprehension of, wasting precious time donated by a skilled maintainer. That is a new thing that wasn’t possible without AI.

Using AI to generate code in a PR does not necessarily mean however that the user has not taken time to understand the changes and is not willing to learn. There are AI users who generate whole files without understanding the contents, and then there are AI users who generate the exact same files but have known in advance what they want, and merely use AI as a tool to save typing.

The intention here seems to be to filter out low quality submissions for which the only purpose is to only pimp Github resume for having contributions in highly starred repo. Not sure if the people doing that will be disclosing use of AI anyway.

I doubt a PR is going to be buried if it's useful, well designed, good code, etc, just because of this disclosure. Articulate how you used AI and I think you've met the author's intent.

If the PR has issues and requires more than superficial re-work to be acceptable, the authors don't want to spend time debugging code spit out by an AI tool. They're more willing to spend a cycle or two if the benefit is you learning (either generally as a dev or becoming more familiar with the project). If you can make clear that you created or understand the code end to end, then they're more likely to be willing to take these extra steps.

Seems pretty straightforward to me and thoughtful by the maintainers here.

If that were the case, why would this rule be necessary, if it indeed is the substance that matters? AI generated anything has a heavy slop stigma right now, even if the content is solid.

This would make for an interesting experiment to submit a PR that was absolute gold but with the disclaimer it was generated with help of ChatGPT. I would almost guarantee it would be received with skepticism and dismissals.

Using Anki myself for language learning and can definitely recognize the pitfall of unrelated cues triggering the recall, but so far it's been working quite well. I'm mainly using it to practice output though, so the front side of the card is in English.

On semi-related note, currently making on a language app (gengengo.com) if anyone wants to check it out.

I actually think indie game dev is quite safe from AI (well its already insanely competitive). It might change the field, or shrink the market but I think AI has a chance at replacing workers where the only metric that matters is $$$ and productivity. I just don't see myself consuming, for example, an AI generated autobiography or any AI generated book. As long as enough people feel that way the market will continue to be there.
rane · 22 days ago
Is it though? Won't AI make the barrier of entry to indie game dev even lower, as assets and code will be able to be created effortlessly.

I guess it's good for "Dreamweaver 2.0" in the sense that it produces plain HTML. But my understanding is most serious web applications use a framework of some sort, such as React, Vue, or Svelte, and each is opinionated.
rane · 23 days ago
There's this one new cool technology that could be just the thing for converting the HTML to use web framework of preference.

>> Review the code that comes out. It goes a long way.

Sure, but if I do 5 reviews for a task - in 99% of cases it is net negative as it is faster to DIY it at that point. Harder for sure, but faster.

rane · 25 days ago
Maybe our brains are wired different but reading and reviewing code is way faster for me than writing it.
