Show HN: Is AI "good" yet? – tracking developer sentiment on AI coding (www.is-ai-good-yet.com)

A new project showcased on Hacker News aims to gauge developer sentiment towards AI coding by analyzing approximately 1,000 AI-related articles from the past three years. This tool provides insights into whether the Hacker News community leans more towards enthusiasm or skepticism regarding advancements in AI. An updated sentiment analysis on February 1, 2026, reveals the evolving opinions and perceptions surrounding AI development within the software engineering community. This project is significant for the AI and machine learning community as it highlights the collective attitude of developers — a group that plays a crucial role in the advancement and implementation of AI technologies. By tracking sentiment trends, it identifies prevailing concerns or excitement about AI's capabilities and its implications for coding practices. Understanding these sentiments can inform AI developers and researchers about community perceptions, guiding future innovations and potentially addressing criticisms or misconceptions that may hinder the technology's adoption.
