Show HN: How Pagecord Uses AI

3 points by lylo 26 days ago | 2 comments

I recently received a surprising amount of anti-AI backlash on the socials for using coding LLMs to build my product, Pagecord. Some people are keen to use only software that has no AI involvement, which is a strong stance but one that feels almost impossible to uphold in 2026.

I published a /ai page (https://pagecord.com/ai) to be fully open about what I use AI for wrt the business. Waste of time, or is this something more companies should be disclosing? Curious to know what people think.

> I review the code myself, the old school way, before it reaches production. Pagecord has a comprehensive test suite that runs before code is shipped.

That's nice. I do pretty much the same for our product. I know many that do the same across different companies.

To your question, the [1. Writing code] part - I think is a waste of time though, because at this point anti-AI has turned into ideological/SJW thing that is beyond reason. The rest looks fine to me.

Yes, LLM code gen and human review seems to be the universal standard... today! that may well change soon though as trust in the agents increases and they get better. Fable, for instance, is so good for what I do (Rails) that I pretty much trust it implicitly. I still like to check though :)
