Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow?
HN developers discuss practical AI-assisted dev stacks, workflows, and tradeoffs.
An Ask HN thread asks developers to share their current AI-assisted development setup for upcoming in-person workshops. The author wants guidance for beginners and working developers, with use cases ranging from static sites to FastAPI tools and Linux home automation. Replies cover Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, VSCode, spec-driven development, TDD, multi-agent workflows, reviews, and quality control.
This Hacker News "Ask HN" discussion was started by an author with over 20 years of development experience who has not yet made heavy use of AI development tools. He is preparing to host an in-person "developer boot-up" workshop and wants to compile a set of modern development tool and workflow recommendations for developers ranging from motivated newbies to those with software backgrounds who want to catch up on AI tool usage. The author currently uses Linux Mint Debian, VSCodium, Python, HTML/CSS, and AWS, and expects most attendees to use MacBooks or Windows, with possibly a few Linux users. The hands-on scenarios include a personal one-page website, a Pelican static blog and theme, small FastAPI backend tools, SyncThing synchronization for a home Linux computer, and iPhone photo and video backup.
