- kenforthewinSure, but Augment’s main value add is their context engine, and imo they do it really well. If all they had to do was launch an MCP for their context engine product to compete, I think the comparison is still worth exploring.
- Congrats. From my experience, Augment (https://augmentcode.com) is best in class for AI code context. How does this compare?
- It's fascinating to see the evolution of HN sentiment towards LLMs in real time. Just a few months ago, projects like these were a dime a dozen and every AI-related post had a skeptical comment at the top. Now I'm almost surprised to see a project like this hit the front page.
I don't have any particular opinion about this project itself, I'm sure there are legitimate use cases for wanting to trick LLMs or obfuscate content etc. But if these sorts of projects are a litmus test for AI skepticism, I'm seeing a clear trend: AI skeptics are losing ground on HN.
- Similar project: https://github.com/aberemia24/code-executor-MCP
And the original Anthropic post that inspired both: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/code-execution-with-mc...
- No mention of coding benchmarks. I guess they've given up on competing with Claude and GPT-5 there. (and from my initial testing of grok 4.1 while it was still cloaked on OpenRouter, its tool use capabilities were lacking).

- An AI development workflow platform with GitHub integration. Built in Elixir / Phoenix. Early stages but it's a fun project.
- It's a very millennial flavor of Reddit-coded edginess that appeals mostly to other Reddit millennials.

- I'm with you, which is why I started the post by stating that most group chats don't need LLM assistants. But I do wonder if your friends have ever posted an AI generated image in the gc, or text you suspect was generated by LLMs? I would be very surprised if not.
- I can tell you actually read the post and put a lot of thought into this response - thanks!
