Ask HN: How is you and your team are using AI?
I'm curious about how everyone is using AI lately.
- Is every team member using their own editor/CLI?
- Is there any sort of alignment across the team? Like using a shared memory bank for the whole project?
- What about rule files? Does the project have a main rules file, or does everyone just use their own private/local rules file?
I really want to understand the nuances here, what works for you personally versus what works for the team.
Is there an industry standard emerging yet? or do you think people are still trying to figure it out?
I’m asking because it feels like in some workplaces/companies, it's treated like a forbidden topic (which is crazy).
There is no alignment, there is no sharing of rule files or other instructions. These are tools no different then an ide which people are also free to choose so why would we?
Also rule files and other "memory sharing" are crutches. If it's that important just put it in your readme or other documentation and the LLM can get the context from that just like your teammates.
Plus isn't it a little silly this extremely well capitalized companies can't figure out how to get an LLM to follow a readme effectively and instead wave it away by saying you need to now maintain yet another thing?
