New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?

Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output? 4 by meteor333 | 2 comments on Hacker News. We are facing flooding and surge in PRs across the teams. AI reviewer tools are good, but not exactly helping in efficiency. Almost all developers are experiencing velocity gains in programming but it's not resulting into eventual productivity or velocity in roadmap. How are you or your org dealing with all this?

New ask Hacker News story: FYI: Dreamina is shady; do not use

FYI: Dreamina is shady; do not use 2 by ronyeh | 0 comments on Hacker News. TLDR: Don't sign up for Dreamina. Bad UX. Difficult to cancel. Doesn't issue refunds. No human customer service. === I signed up for a free 7 day trial of the video generation service. I used it on day one. On day six, they charged me. I canceled the auto-renewal on the website and emailed all of their support channels (Dreamina, Capcut, and Bytedance) to ask for a refund. No human read these emails. Their AI kept sending me around in circles and never acknowledging the request for a refund. More than two weeks later.... either their AI support agent got updated, or a real human finally read my emails. They told me I need to file for a refund via a Google Form. I hate companies that make it difficult to cancel and get refunds. Netflix is super duper easy to cancel. Weirdly, I never actually cancel. If Dreamina doesn't refund me, this will be the last $9 they (and their parent companies) ever earn...

Ask HN: Does Claude Code remove the need for so many front-end frameworks? 4 by ex-aws-dude | 1 comments on Hacker News. Does using claude code make you more/less likely to use front end frameworks? I've been using it for a while to develop internal tools and I've been really impressed at how you can build complex applications with just pure HTML/CSS/JS Previously I'd use React but now its not as clear to me the reason I would do that since either way I would just be developing through Claude. It feels almost like the framework is just an implementation detail. I find myself using a lot less libraries in general as well. It kind of gives you a bit of NIH syndrome since the time cost is so low to roll your own sometimes.

New ask Hacker News story: Garnix, the Nix CI, is shutting down

Garnix, the Nix CI, is shutting down 10 by cinericius | 4 comments on Hacker News. Text from the email: garnix is shutting down Hi everyone, We wanted to let you know that garnix is joining forces with Shopify. We are sad to announce that, as part of this transition, the hosted garnix service will shut down on July 15th 2026. But we are open sourcing the garnix codebase, available here (https://ift.tt/mS8uojb); we hope this will help you smoothly move to using your own instance or a shared one. If you are interested in operating a public community instance, please get in touch — we’d be happy to talk. We will also be deleting all user data on July 15th. This includes build artifacts. Be sure to download what you want to keep before then. Thank you all for using garnix and for the feedback and support over the years. While we are excited about our next step at Shopify, we will also miss working with this community. From the very first, with generous donations in our Open Collective d...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why not have an EU browser?

Ask HN: Why not have an EU browser? 2 by osigurdson | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been wondering, why don't we have a chrome fork that only accepts sites hosted in the EU? If a site is hosted in the EU then it can be fully regulated by the EU. This would make it easier for citizens to know that their data is is safe (according to EU standards) and avoids the regulatory complexities of trying to enforce rules in other countries. Thoughts?
