Using AI to write better code more slowly

kept by eddie may 29

Hacker News commenters consistently report that using AI for code review and iterative refinement yields better code, but takes significantly longer than manual coding.

2025: The year in LLMs
The 2025 LLM landscape was defined by reasoning models, coding agents, Chinese open weight models, prompt-driven image editing, CLI tools, and OpenAI losing its lead.
