Ask HN: How is your team collaborating while working with coding agents? 2 by wek | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm curious how your team is working with Claude Code and Codex and collaborating? Are you working with Linear and JIRA and just MCPing. Are your moving things from your markdown to a Google Doc or Notion to collaborate and then back to your markdown? Or are you just doing all collaboration in GitHub?

New ask Hacker News story: Tons of new LLM bot accounts here

Tons of new LLM bot accounts here 6 by koolala | 3 comments on Hacker News. There are lots of fresh made accounts pretending to be humans commenting everywhere. They all post small 1 paragraph comments that don't actually express an idea and restate the obvious. Is someone targeting HN with OpenClaw? I wish they at least used a high-thinking model but it seems like they are using the cheap API.

Ask HN: What was it like for programmers when spreadsheets became ubiquitous? 4 by yodaiken | 0 comments on Hacker News. There have been a lot of attempts to move more of programming to end-users instead of professional developer over the years. Spreadsheets are interesting because they were a massively successful version of this and because of course we are living through the latest wave (AI/vibe coding). For those of you around when spreadsheets were taking off, what was it like? Was there fear that they would eradicate the need for professionally built software? Were there people who brushed them off as just toys?

Just Released Toolpack SDK — a completely Open-Source unified TypeScript SDK for AI development If you've worked with multiple LLM providers, you know the pain: each has different APIs, different tool formats, different quirks.

You can also create and integrate your own custom tools. The workflow engine plans and executes tasks step-by-step. You get Agent and Chat modes out of the box, plus the ability to create custom modes tailored to your needs. There's also a custom provider API if you want to add other LLMs. Full TypeScript support included. And if you prefer a terminal UI over code, the CLI gives you an interactive chat interface to work with AI and ...

New ask Hacker News story: Claude broke a ZIP password in a smart way

Claude broke a ZIP password in a smart way 4 by jgrahamc | 0 comments on Hacker News. Today, I was working on a project with Claude and it needed to open a ZIP file. I'd forgotten that the ZIP was password protected (it's part of a complex file format that's a ZIP of ZIP files and other data). Here's a redacted part of Claude's output: I'll attempt some common password variations based on the project identifiers and metadata I've found - the project ID itself, the certificate ID, the license number, and the names associated with the project. Try more project-specific passwords (Script) The password is "xxxxxxxxxxxx"! Now let me extract the files. What's interesting is the approach it took. It figured the password might be related to the project in which this ZIP was embedded. It made a list of possible passwords from the context and tried them all. And it worked. But the funniest part is that when I originally received this ZIP file I did ex...
