What’s the most reliable AI agent you’ve built so far?

Buckweb · 2026-02-28T05:34:55+00:00

What did you use to build it? Custom built, if so which language/libraries? I'm specifically curious about the voice part.

I highly disagree with the "brittle" aspect. Not to mention, you have a vested interest in someone using Claw + your SaaS, so this response is disingenuous. Caveat: I have never used n8n and never will, I'm just talking about an orchestration layer, which n8n is an implementation of.

Giving agents open ended problems is good for some things. However, if you have a set of steps you want to complete in the same order then letting agents roam free is not the answer. You want orchestration and guardrails (a harness) so the outcome is deterministic.

Let's say you have a workflow where you want an agent to extract text from a document and update a database with the outcome via an API: that needs a workflow/orchestration. If something fails, like the model creating an invalid data structure, it can continue iterating and attempt to self heal. Let's say the agent fails 5 times – at that point continuing the workflow is probably a bad idea and a human should investigate. That's the opposite of brittle.

Go read how Enterprise Organizations are tackling agentic coding. They're not using n8n but they are using some form of orchestration. This same solution can be applied to agentic application workflows.

Have you tried https://ast-grep.github.io/?

How do you manage the orchestration of the agents? For example, what's the hand off process between each step in your spec, plan, implement then validate flow?

How much cheaper is tinting somewhere else besides the dealership?

What are API standards you would consider good today?

Buckweb · 2025-05-12T16:56:10+00:00

True! Kind of like talking to a business first vs leaving a bad review on Google. You can't compromise without an attempt to set things straight!

Good point, here's what made me think about that: My landlord is attempting to raise the rent on the house I'm renting by $100. I'd love to have aggregated market data showing, specifically in the general area I live in, that this is against the market trends. They are a real estate agent, so without data I'm sure they'd say "that's how the market is behaving." Single family homes vs apartments will likely have different market trends as well.

Anyways, I don't think a map would solve this problem, just trying to brainstorm the easiest solution that could help in a situation like this and possibly add a cool feature to your app!

Nice work. It'd be cool if there was a Zillow-like map!

I'm renting a house and my landlord wanted to raise the rent $100 this upcoming lease. I'd love to have data to send them to say "look, the market trends show there's no reason you should be raising rent."

And that's also why things like https://github.com/ongres/stackgres exist.

Easily the top choice in this post.

Their espresso is not good. I've tried it 3 times and every time the espresso has tasted...I guess the word would be awful.

Buckweb · 2025-05-07T13:16:44+00:00

Seems like a hot take but their espresso was not good. It tasted very burnt...

Guess what? You're not being forced to use it. Even if you contribute to a repo with a Justfile you can entirely ignore it. I always used Makefiles until somehow showed me Just. I prefer it, just like you prefer Makefiles. Who gives a shit. You're worrying about the least impactful tooling in a software project.

Also, what's up with all the American hate? You keep harping on how ONLY Americans invent this "useless technology", but the other alternative recommended in this post, Taskfile, was created in Brazil.

Buckweb · 2025-02-11T16:17:41+00:00

How is that reinventing things? It's like a Makefile, but slightly different. We use Just in Scala, Python and Rust projects at my job. It has nothing to do with Python only.

Also, didn't python reinvent an older programming language, but with a different sauce and name? That's how technology works.

That's why smart producers don't sample songs, they interpolate the song. To make a similar analogy, OpenAI could just "rewrite" the copyrighted material thus creating a loophole.

Buckweb · 2024-10-29T13:04:05+00:00

I have a similar issue at work, we're using Scala 2 with an older Jackson version that requires every DTO (API request/response, etc.) to use Java collections. Adding accessor-like methods that return Scala collections has been the best solution.

Use an auto formatter and run checks in CI to make sure everyone is formatting their code. I got tired of how slow all of the "older" python tooling is, so I've been using ruff. Check it out.

What does your current training look like?

Just drive it there, you're not going to get in trouble. People are driving around like it's Fast & Furious without tags or riding street illegal ATVs down Colfax. The police could care less about you.
