How good are LLMs at porting software in 2026?

Hacker News - Sat, 09/12/2026 - 12:25am

I see a lot of AI companies doing work as far as solving mathematical problems and the like, but I'm curious about how this compares with, let's say, porting the whole Adobe software to Linux, for instance, and how close are we to "porting X software to Y platform" being just a question of how much money you have to pay for tokens.

Ask HN: What do you do about API keys?

Hacker News - Sat, 09/12/2026 - 12:11am

Having them in plaintext always seemed like a bad idea. Forget agents accidentally reading .env; any random package you get from the AUR can trivially read all your keys.

Ideally you'd have read permissions restricted to users/groups that need it, but since most software that needs it is under the user UID, I don't see how this would work.
