Ask HN: What will happen as AI costs increase?
4 by MetaWhirledPeas | 3 comments on Hacker News.
We are living in the "penetration pricing" phase of AI, where costs are absorbed by seemingly endless investment. What will be the practical fallout when prices inevitably rise?

Show HN: Kstack – Skill pack for monitoring/troubleshooting K8s in Claude Code

Hi All, Recently I've been using Claude Code a lot for debugging cluster issues and I realized I was performing similar tasks repeatedly so I decided to package them up into skills so I could call them up more easily (e.g. `/investigate`, `/audit-security`, `/audit-outdated`). I'm calling the skill pack "kstack" and the goal is to be able to monitor and troubleshoot K8s from within Claude Code. If you have time, I'd love to get some feedback on the project!

Ask HN: The death of software development as a job?

A lot of programmers I read here and elsewhere say LLM isn't going to change much, some say LLM is just going to make them more productive, and some even say not using LLM makes you some sort of relic. What is not debated is that LLM has changed our industry. Programming is a lot more accessible to a lot more people than five years ago. Someone who has never coded anything could sit in front of Claude and produce an entire app ready to be used today. Assuming software development becomes a commodity and the job becomes something like a fast food job where practically any adult who wants it can do it, what is your next move? Anthropic and OpenAI are working hard to redirect the salary you earn to themselves in the form of API costs, so let's assume that in the year 2030, the average yearly wage for a programmer is around the same as a McDonald's worker, because companies have the option of paying Anthropic or OpenAI for API access as an alternative. What is your move?

New ask Hacker News story: Codex's precision and attention to detail is *crazy* when set up correctly

o I'm working on a Tower Defense game with Codex, got my AGENTS md & my CODESTYLE md & six other ALLCAPS md files etc, and am working on some refactoring to keep the codebase clean & file sizes low, right? And then I see this in the ExecPlan for my latest refactor: --- # Observations - Observation: The refactor made the screenshots pixel-identical after the baseline was recaptured correctly. Evidence: sha256sum screenshots/before-implementation-x.png screenshots/after-implementation-x.png reported matching hashes for before/after pairs 1, 2, and 3. --- Which is crazy! I've never told Codex to do an sha compare on before/after screenshots of the app, but I do have instructions in my PLANS.md to take before & after screenshots of the webapp for the game to make sure we avoid frontend regressions (it uses GPT-Image-2 for analysis). So for non-frontend impacting changes, of course nothing should be different between screenshots taken at identical timestamps into the game start. But doing an explicit SHA compare - that's just...not something I would've ever thought of. Wild.
