OP said "I'm curious how people on HN are using AI day to day" and I gave an honest answer. If the answers were only from those using agentic setups daily, that would give a skewed picture. (And I do have some experience with agentic coding, but for now I'm staying away from it; mainly because I don't trust it with my data and I can't quite justify the cost of a local setup.)

But before this thread gets too deep, maybe you want to ask https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50376720 why they feel compelled to answer here. Or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50375782 . Or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50367460 . Since you were wondering.
