Coding is also fun. But realizing AI is doing a far better job than me it just makes sense that I hand over the task.\n\nProfiling is still left as a human in the loop kind of work and blocks me to create a better harness.\n\nWould anyone find this needed too? If so, what language and platform?\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48615910](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48615910)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-would-you-let-your-ai-coding-agent-profile-and-optimize-autonomously", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48615910", "published_at": "2026-06-21 05:20:55+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-21 05:37:30.132563+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-would-you-let-your-ai-coding-agent-profile-and-optimize-autonomously", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-would-you-let-your-ai-coding-agent-profile-and-optimize-autonomously.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-would-you-let-your-ai-coding-agent-profile-and-optimize-autonomously.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-would-you-let-your-ai-coding-agent-profile-and-optimize-autonomously.jsonld"}}
