so was I then I got the job... i think it's innovative because bots are just filling these out anyway, being mad at a tech company for building tech, that's like calling the kettle well a kettle.

So by that thinking if I write some software, because I do that professionally, whatever bad outcome that software has then I am not responsible for it?

What if I make software that gives all the technical details for how to make a nuclear/chemical/bio weapon and I make that available in every language, I'm in the clear for the consequences? Seriously???

The software companies started this process. They were the ones who made each questionable decision along the way. Doesn't matter how they make their money, they are responsible for the consequences of those decisions.

PS Maybe check your grammar next time you post.


I do too care about this but I say this in the reality in which we are. This reminds me of those signs "no shirt, no shoes, no service" except it's much worse, only sentient beings will actually care about it, while non-sentients will simply trample over the sign while token predicted laughter erupts from their token predicted sense of humor artifact.

Elon said it well, there must be some disincentive to do this.


Isn't this more about identity crisis? Not in the psychological sense but in the internet sense? Who is real who isn't? Crypto proof of work idk? Your profile like d LinkedIn or Hacker News or something gives your clawbot x credits worth of legit automated queries or rate limits on your behalf? It could be flipped upside down where we don't spend our eyes off on reading websites anymore, it just goes and gets it for us but I may be hallucinating.

They tried Worldcoin as a solution to proof of human but it never took off. I guess linking to social media as you say? I haven't had much issue with AIs but so many human scammers often with bot accounts. On Xitter 90% of my followers are those.

ah right, thanks for commenting though, nice to see some life... once you submit they don't allow URL field to be adjusted.

i get it but what else do you call it right now? its like a full stack dev that builds chatbots with apis and streaming and context fixes, it's a confusing term because it hints at ML core but then you see what they want and there is no model training/inference usually involved. Maybe "AI Fullstack?" idk either but I literally have been doing this over the last 2 years but ya ended up doing model training/inference too but the IMO obtuse leadership didn't want it.


LLM operator. LLM supervisor, if someone wants to be grandiose about it.


Just like "computer engineer" is a silly term, it should be "computer operator".


"Operator" has a long history in computing. In the pre-microcomputer era, the people who managed computers were referred to as operators or sysops; the O in BOFH was Operator.


so I made this and frankly i was in shock that it worked so well, so i decided to make it plugable as an MCP, i have used this approach for 3 projects now and I frankly can't live without it. I hope other people find it useful but ya you never know. Coding in a vacuum isn't useful so lmk what you think if you try it out etc.


this looks neat and reminds me of "Ferrari" for fast and combines "react" so it's a great name. Was there a specific use case for this that inspired you? I would imagine some massive existing heavy thing that you plugged in to fix to save it? I just put my open source thing out so it's nice to see some traction on yours, rooting for you.


Thank you, that's very kind! The name actually comes from "Runtime Accelerated Rendering Infrastructure" (RARI), but I love the Ferrari connection, it definitely fits the performance theme.

The inspiration was pretty straightforward: I wanted to build something for myself that was as performant as I could make it. I'd been using Rust a lot more in my day-to-day work and wanted to see if I could bring those performance benefits to React development without forcing JS devs to write Rust. The goal was to abstract away the complexity of Rust but still deliver the same benefits.

Congrats on shipping your project! What did you build?


ah gotcha... i was picturing like this massive web page that was dog slow that you just like made mad fast... but that's cool though. I'll run it.

I built autonomo on github, it's this mcp you plugin to your whatever ai editor and it drives the app/web/desktop whatever thing and validates it actually runs and works... keep building homie!


idk, i'm loving the newness of all of it, I feel more empowered than ever before, like it's my time. Before startups would take like a year to get going, now it's like a month or so. It's exciting and scary, we have no idea where it's going. Not boring at all. I was getting bored as shit and bam, now i can dream up shit quick and have it validated to, ya i figured that out with an MCP so ya this is my jam. Program MCPs and speed it up!!!!!!


ya, for real, my boss was like let's do e2e testing with AI, look for solutions out there... then like 2 days later he's like wtf is this bill, and i was like you wanted that right? Was using vision calls in azure foundry and was like over 100 bucks or something just in 2 days of me setting it up and trying it out with all the test cases it had.


Hey HN,

Tried posting this yesterday evening but timing was off and it got buried quickly (4 points, no comments). Reposting now during peak hours.

I built Autonomo MCP because AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude, etc.) are great at generating code but terrible at actually running and validating it in real apps. They hallucinate, rely on slow screenshots, or break on multi-device flows.

Autonomo MCP gives agents a fast (~50ms), structured JSON view of app state (semantic UI IDs, network calls, errors, logs) across web + iOS + Android + desktop simultaneously. Local-first, MCP-integrated, no cloud leaks.

- Swap vision bloat for tiny tokens - Cross-device validation (e.g. tap mobile → see web update) - Early stage, just launched: https://github.com/sebringj/autonomo

Would love feedback: Does this solve a pain point for anyone building agentic dev tools? What platforms/workflows would you want next? (Android/Kotlin and C#/.NET are on the TODO list.)

Thanks for any stars, comments, or tries!
