A few days back I posted here asking about how people were using AI / doing agentic coding (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50366117). Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by the response!The one challenge I found, however, was that the comments were almost impossible to parse: some users answered my questions in the format I provided, others answered in any order, but either way it was really hard to get a picture of who was using what from that thread alone.So, I spent last night building an interactive site out of people's answers. I used Claude to pull the tools, models and plans out of each comment, with every number linked back to the original comments it came from.The website covers subscriptions, models, harnesses, orchestration and agent platforms, what people liked and disliked about each tool, and some of the better stories from the thread.Take a look and let me know what you think!-----The interactive website: https://scouttyg.github.io/hn-agentic-setups/The code: https://github.com/scouttyg/hn-agentic-setups
