Post title: Has anyone made a legacy codebase more legible to AI coding agents?

We manually track downstream effects since everything is scattered and duplicated in the most confusing way → implicit dependencies, implicit architecture and high change coupling. Changing a thing he…

Post title: Ask HN: Do you feel like you're seeing fewer bugs since the AI coding era began?

no, and nobody can find them anymore since nobody knows how the system works or has mental model of the system. They stack up until we revert, talk about the issues, plan to do better, then do the sam…

What this evidence does not show yet

To reach Payment-backed we still need:

1 more independent post(s) — we have 4
a first-hand payment statement — either someone naming what they already pay, or 2 more statement(s) with a specific amount they would pay (we have 0)

No first-hand payment statement is on record here, so this page carries no pricing suggestion. A price with no payment evidence behind it is a guess wearing a number.

Scoring summary

Evidence confidence = strength × evidence volume × source diversity × payment × competition × trend × 10. Counts use independent content items; only first-hand pain, current spend, explicit willingness to pay and concrete feature requests affect the score. Repeated posts by one author are discounted. Scoring and status changes follow deterministic rules.

“Payment-backed” means first-hand payment evidence exists in the record. It does not mean the business is worth building. “Fading” is a recency tag shown alongside any evidence level, not a lower level. Read the full methodology.
