New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What will happen with Anthropics ultimatum?

Ask HN: What will happen with Anthropics ultimatum? 4 by maniacwhat | 2 comments on Hacker News. As we are all aware, anthropic has it's ultimatum from the US government: drop their anti-killing TOS or else get in trouble this Friday. I'm sure whatever happens it'll seem much more obvious that that's what was always going to happen, in hindsight, than it does now. So as an experiment, I'm curious to hear from the hn community, in advance of Friday, what we think will happen. Will they concede? Will they ignore and suffer the consequences (and what might those be)? Will we even find out or will it be shrouded in mystery for the foreseeable future?... This is admittedly somewhat sensationalist so I'm not sure whether it fits with hn guidelines, but as one of the best places I know of for genuine online discussion, I think it would be interesting to hear reasoned predictions.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What's it like working in big tech recently with all the AI tools?

Ask HN: What's it like working in big tech recently with all the AI tools? 9 by ex-aws-dude | 1 comments on Hacker News. Curious to hear how have things changed day-to-day with the recent push to use AI coding tools. Have you noticed faster pace of development? Have you seen changes to code quality or code review? Do teammates that use these tools complete sprint tasks faster than those who don't?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Could you create a competitor to your company at 10% of the cost?

Ask HN: Could you create a competitor to your company at 10% of the cost? 4 by TheAlchemist | 1 comments on Hacker News. I'm trying to wrap my mind about the AI tools, and while I believe there is way too much hype, I'm quite impressed with the progress. The current mood seem to be that big companies will automate away many white collar jobs and just get bigger profits. My question is - what if it's the other way around ? Could said white collar workers just spin off competitors much more easily than before ? Obviously this mostly apply to software, but I'm curious what people think about it in all industries.

New ask Hacker News story: Fix cron routes: POST → GET (Vercel cron sends GET)

Fix cron routes: POST → GET (Vercel cron sends GET) 2 by nishiohiroshi | 0 comments on Hacker News. Our drip email cron ran its first day and sent zero emails. The cron hit the endpoint, got a 200 back, everything looked healthy. Turns out Vercel cron sends GET requests, but we put the email logic in a POST handler. The GET handler was just a health check returning {"status":"healthy"}. Two of three cron routes had this bug - the third one happened to use GET and worked fine.

New ask Hacker News story: AI isn't killing SaaS – it's killing single-purpose SaaS

AI isn't killing SaaS – it's killing single-purpose SaaS 3 by JB_5000 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Over the last year I keep seeing “SaaS is dead” takes. I don’t think that’s what’s happening. What seems under pressure isn’t SaaS as a model. It’s narrow SaaS built around a single capability that AI can now reproduce cheaply. If your product is basically a thin wrapper over a model, or differentiated mainly by features rather than workflow integration, the moat feels weaker now. AI compresses build time dramatically. That means more competitors, faster cloning, and lower switching costs. But SaaS that is model-agnostic, deeply embedded into workflows, or acts as connective tissue between systems looks much more durable. Integration, distribution, and trust don’t commoditize as quickly as features do. It feels less like SaaS collapsing and more like a sorting event. Thin wrappers get squeezed. Infrastructure layers and integrators get stronger. Curious if others building right...

New ask Hacker News story: Looking 4 open-source knowledge base and project management tool 4 personal use

Looking 4 open-source knowledge base and project management tool 4 personal use 3 by TheAlgorist | 0 comments on Hacker News. Apologies for odd title, character limits. I manage my tasks with Taskwarrior and it's been incredibly productive for me. What it does, it does very well. But there's a lot it doesn't do, and that's the problem I'm facing. I've realized I need proper project documentation and management features, but I don't want to replace Taskwarrior. Instead, I'm looking to *complement* it with some type of knowledge base that also has project management features (or vice versa). My ultimate goal is to integrate these systems together via automations. In short, Taskwarrior is lacking when it comes to project documentation. *My criteria:* - Must be open-source - MUST work in the browser (so no mention of Obsidian) - Has basic project management features (interpret as you will) - Rich wiki-like document interface (bidirectional links, nice edi...
