Ask HN: Developers still enjoying development after AI?

Hacker News - Wed, 03/11/2026 - 3:24pm

If you were a developer who enjoyed the craft before AI became so prevalent, how have your feelings changed after seeing AI do a lot of the ground work for you? Do you still enjoy it?

Show HN: Daub – A rendering spec for AI-generated UIs (two files, no build step)

Hacker News - Wed, 03/11/2026 - 3:20pm

Most UI frameworks solve the wrong problem — they help developers build interfaces faster. DAUB bets on the next problem: AI generating interfaces directly.

The core idea: instead of writing component code, you describe a UI in structured JSON. DAUB renders it. No compilation, no virtual DOM diffing. The spec is the UI.

What shipped so far (v3.13): - daub.css + daub.js: 76 components, 20 theme families, two CDN links, zero build step - JSON-Render spec: AI outputs structured JSON, DAUB renders a live interface — already working in the Playground - 7-stage generation pipeline: analyze → scaffold → generate → selfCheck → verify → repair → visual diff - 189 pre-made blocks across 34 categories with multimodal RAG retrieval - MCP server on Cloudflare edge: generate_ui, render_spec, validate_spec, get_component_catalog — any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, custom agents) can generate DAUB interfaces without writing a line of component code

What's coming: - v3.14: Action bindings — buttons that POST to real endpoints, forms with submit handlers, shareable URLs, version history. Generated UI becomes functional and outlives the session. - v4.0 (Intent Engine, in progress): "I need to track my expenses" → spending dashboard with charts, filters, input form. Context-aware: location, time, history inform the output. - v5.0 (Agent Runtime): multi-agent orchestration where one agent fetches data, another picks layout, a third wires actions. The interface is a byproduct of understanding, not a thing you build.

The underlying bet: as AI generates more of the interface layer, value accrues to whoever owns the rendering spec that agents target. DAUB wants that spec to be small, inspectable, text-diffable, and easy for both humans and models to work with — not locked inside a framework.

It's not competing with React or shadcn/ui. It's the layer underneath whatever generates the UI.

Happy to get into the spec format, the complexity-routing pipeline, or how the MCP integration actually works.
