Tell HN: I'm tired of AI-generated answers 46 by theorchid | 20 comments on Hacker News. I found GitHub repositories that were spreading malware. I asked AI what I should do about it, but it gave me nothing useful. So I opened a discussion on GitHub. Someone replied. It was literally the exact same text the AI had given me. I called it out and the comment was deleted. Then another person replied. Same exact AI response again. I worked as a developer in a company. I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with the question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot. He didn't even read the AI's answer. He just screenshots and forwards it. Recently someone sent me a DM on Reddit about my post. I replied. He wrote again, I replied again. After a few messages I realized I was talking to an AI agent. I'm tired of talking to AI. ...

Debatable but likely not insane: there MAY be an issue with SpaceX' hiring 2 by adinhitlore | 0 comments on Hacker News. OK, this is just social science but note this: Musk posted today for people to give 3 proofs of exceptional ability if they want to join the most expensive and "most innovative" company ever - Spacex. But how can you innovate when you follow the rules? what if you send 1, 2 or 4 reasons? and why would anyone work for someone with very questionable and controversial views? It doesn't seem possible for Spacex to revolutionize the world, change it: sure they do...for 20+ years but they fail to revolutionize for 20+ years. And the reasons are obvious.

Valgrind-3.27.1 Is Available 3 by paulf38 | 0 comments on Hacker News.

Can one run AI on source code with the prompt "Find below-avg swear rate files"? 2 by pcwir | 1 comments on Hacker News. Because “code with more swear words is higher quality”, meaning lots of humans looked at that code and the more humans look at that code, the more swear words could be found on average. If this is true, then why not put it to the test by running an A.I. on open source code and giving it the prompt of “Find below-avg swear rate files” (This prompt was shortened to save on tokens.) Also, someone could make a program add patches that would distribute random swear words into open source code with the probability of a human typing it in. Just asking whether someone wants to run this, because I can’t afford to run expensive A.I. or add these randomized swear word comments to all open source code projects and then wait as many might refuse my patches. I’d like for someone else to do this if they want to, because if you want to, then cool. Yes, this is “security...

Ask HN: How do word docs, slides, excel, and PDFs generate value? 3 by FailMore | 3 comments on Hacker News. This is a bit vague, but as an engineer, it’s possible to walk past the other functions in an office and see people creating word docs, presentations, etc. and be a bit shocked that creating static artifacts is valuable enough to drive employment. I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas on where the value lies in this work. I know this is all very industry specific, so if you want to share you can talk from your own perspective. Vague and wild answers accepted too. I’m looking to have a wide ranging discussion about this.

Ask HN: Is grpcurl home page compromised? 3 by jicea | 0 comments on Hacker News. Clicking on some FAQs (like "Does grpcurl Does grpcurl require a .proto file?a .proto file?") redirects me to https://ift.tt/HFztoOZ a really suspicious web site). Am I crazy or over-paranoid? Update: nevermind that's been discussed here https://ift.tt/6puZkSV Sad to see an Open source project targeted like that

Ask HN: How to enforce engineers to understand the code they are shipping 3 by hchua | 2 comments on Hacker News. Everyone is using AI for everything now. Company is pushing for AI-first and encourages the adoption of AI in every part of our work. AI for planning, AI for RFC, AI for writing code, AI for creating PRs. Sure we can have harnesses and tests to ensure nothing breaks. But how do we enforce engineers to have a deep understanding of the code that they are shipping? Our team has the usual suggestions: write a plan first, write test cases first, etc. But in this age, how do you verify that the engineer did not simply delegate these tasks to an LLM first? Also genuinely worried about junior engineers' growth if this is the future.

Ask HN: Company is rapidly cutting AI tool spend how to prep team? 5 by Snakes3727 | 8 comments on Hacker News. Company I work for is now rapidly planning to scale down its AI tooling spend. Claude code access is basically getting removed and people are forbidden from using personal plans. Reasoning is cost apparently our monthly Claude bill has become astronomical for the org. Nearly 3x our saas's cloud spend. Apparently we are going to get limited access to codex at severely reduced plans. I have tried some local models such as Kimi, however most are barely functional. I am very concerned as the expectation of amount of work done is to remain consistent. Ignoring the fact teams have made entire workflows around Claude I am very worried and frustrated. How can I help my team ease this transition? Are their local models that run well on local machines that only have 16gb ram?

Booking.com and Weaviate 2 by CShorten | 0 comments on Hacker News. Vector search looks easy, until you hit production scale. I'm super excited to share a new episode of the Weaviate Podcast with Başak from @bookingcom on production-scale vector search, RAG, and agentic AI with @weaviate_io! The podcast begins by discussing Booking's tipping point into adopting vector search and emerging use cases. The scale of Partner-to-Guest messaging alone is insane! There are nearly 250,000 such exchanges daily , and Booking's Agent is already helping with 10s of thousands of these! Başak describes how the team navigated increasing scale and workload complexity. They ran an exhaustive evaluation of Weaviate with 100M embeddings and tests often left out of common ANN benchmarks. This includes Filtered Vector Search, Multi-Threaded Concurrency, and testing with simultaneous Reads and Writes. The podcast concludes with Başak's career journey to Booking and her thoughts on Travel A...

Ask HN: Could free/low cost LLMs be a momentary thing? 4 by senda | 8 comments on Hacker News. Say they(OpenAi Etc)don’t find a way to reduce the cost of running these LLMs. Will we shift towards slower/worse LLMs running locally? Or maybe enterprise ones only used by large corporations for specific tasks? Will the era of using these to generate code end? Is the assume that the inference problem will be solved?

Ask HN: Do you know what data your AI coding agent sends to the cloud? 2 by lbrauer | 0 comments on Hacker News. Every session my AI coding agent reads files, runs commands, makes API calls. I have no idea exactly what ends up in the cloud. Is anyone actually tracking this at a granular level, or do we just trust the tool?

Ask HN: Do you still spend time maintaining Claude.md / AGENTS.md files? 5 by david_d8912 | 8 comments on Hacker News. For people using coding agents regularly: do you still invest time in user-level and repo-level instruction files like CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, etc.? It's not a surprise that you don't expect the rules there to be followed even with less than 100 lines of changes. Yet still see folks like Karpathy post rules around with hundreds of stars. Tell me if you're still spending the effort of trying claude.md, and are they effective, what're you writing in it. Update: I'm more of talking about behavior rules here (coding standard, comment style, Do this and Don't do that, etc.). For facts like project directories, important doc ref, commands, sure that always helps.

Ask HN: What LLM models are you using and why? 2 by rubyn00bie | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hello, HN! I'm wondering what y'all are using for your daily driver these days and why ? I've found myself using GPT-5.5 more than Opus 4.7 for work; which, has been a pretty big reversal. Previously, I was using Opus 4.6 for everything, and GPT-5.4 was only ever in the picture to provide a second opinion (with Grok a distant 3rd only when I wanted to throw some "chaos" into the mix). The reason I've personally pivoted, is I've found GPT-5.5 to be a bit more consistent, predictable, and tends to write in a way I find less tiresome (even if the code isn't quite as good as Opus 4.7). For personal projects, I've started experimenting with DeepSeek V4 and have been pretty blown away by it because of it's cost to quality and I've found the 1M token window to be incredibly helpful for long-running tasks. Though I may also have an over abundance of fear...

Got the following from hello@mindie.dev ---- Hey Stackghost — Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing.

Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun? 28 by klez | 31 comments on Hacker News. Of course I don't mean they stopped being fun for everyone. My impression is that they've been on one side "corporatized", and on the other became a vehicle for mindless entertainment. I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?) I don't even code for work anymore since I moved to a project/service management role. Basically, the spark I felt some 25 years ago seems to be completely gone. Any suggestion on getting it back?

Note-taking software,Novel ideas 2 by huaqing | 0 comments on Hacker News. Can you use a software that anchors a note-taking program to a certain repository for synchronization.Most note synchronization services are paid,but repository is free.git needs to handle conflicts manually.Would you be interested in an open-source and free synchronization service provided by a code repository? If a strict synchronization method is used.

Load testing in your infra, not cloud 3 by vitalicset | 0 comments on Hacker News. Im tired to use cloud based load testing tools, the coding is also overcomplicated and my manager wants to see how load testing is going, so I create perfscale - runs inside your infra as agent and shows the metrics for runs. Supports migration from k6 and locust. Git integration included!

Viable open source Claude Design alternative? 9 by splatzone | 0 comments on Hacker News. Can anyone recommend an alternative to Claude Design? I've been trying OpenDesign (https://ift.tt/NIdCfsv) using GPT5.5 which seemed promising, but so far the results have nowhere near the same level of polish or consistency as Claude Design from what I can tell. Any recommendations?

Claude Account Suspended Seconds After Purchase? 3 by AnthropicWHAT | 0 comments on Hacker News. I literally created a new account, pressed submit on the credit card dialog, the purchase goes through and i get logged out. I try to log in, and it says I'm banned. I check my mail box and I see an email with an invoice and another that I'm in violation of the ToS, submitted within the same minute LOL. Is this some kind of joke? :O

Tell HN: Dont use Claude Design, lost access to my projects after unsubscribing 12 by pycassa | 0 comments on Hacker News. I wanted to try codex after 5 months of claude code max subscription. And then I went back to my previous projects on claude design only to realize I don't have access to them anymore. This is a first. I never lost access to any of my past sessions because I unsubscribed in any of the LLM apps. I actually wanted to try out codex previously, but had similar experience with my credits. They gave extra credits equivalent to my montly subscription price, with some time limit because claude has so many issues that month. And as soon as plan ended. I lost access to the credits. Even after resubscribing, I still don't have access to those credits. I have sympathies towards the engineers, especially the ones that are putting themselves on X. But only when someone with large following has some issue, they sort it out. Having worked at a billing company, I can see...

Ask HN: Is Anthropic doing too much vibe coding? 4 by terabytest | 2 comments on Hacker News. The Claude app and Claude Code have been an unusable and buggy mess for me lately, has anyone else been experiencing this? Most of my messages get swallowed after sending them or the responses get interrupted or dropped. Sometimes entire conversations disappear from the sidebar only to reappear later. I’ve learnt that when a message appears not to have gone through or have errored midway, it often comes back with a valid response if I wait a bit and then restart the app. I wonder if it has anything to do with Anthropic eagerly embracing vibe coding.

Ask HN: What are you working on (non-AI)? 6 by BrunoBernardino | 3 comments on Hacker News. Please don't turn this into an inflammatory post. Regardless of "AI" being good or bad (it's not even just one thing as many of you know), I feel like the "What are you working on?" posts are drowning in things that use AI for something and/or are clearly "AI slop". I'd like to look at things other humans have been doing (even if they used a bit of some kind of AI for assistance), that aren't a product or tool that uses AI for something. I know it exists (and I use and build some), but it's incredibly hard to find nowadays. Can you help me? Thank you.

agent-dash: TUI for managing Claude Code and OpenCode in tmux 2 by fdarian | 0 comments on Hacker News. https://ift.tt/O7sAEDJ There are a growing number of products/features to manage agent sessions. Few built-ins, new app, but this I made specifically for tmux users running Claude Code and OpenCode. It automatically detects all sessions without configuration I built this since Feb 2026, but I haven't yet properly documented the features. Dropping this here to see if anyone might be interested

Ask HN: If HTML supersedes Markdown fr AI, Will it be versatile enough for devs? 3 by zameermfm | 4 comments on Hacker News. Isn't Markdown's hallmark its versatility while performant? I see there is an increasing call from tech community towards HTML to be adopted instead of Markdown due to its richness in the agentic communication layer. But is it versatile across any kind of interfaces? versatile with different format conversions? and performant (as the md is lightweight)?

Ask HN: Is Spam getting worse or is Gmail getting worse? 4 by adamtaylor_13 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Over the past couple of months I've noticed that number of spam emails landing in my inbox has increased by quite a bit. I keep a very tidy inbox, so it's pretty easy for me to notice them and mark them as spam. But I'm curious: is Google just getting worse at detecting spam, or is the spam somehow evolving? For example, I just got this email: Sender: william_brown_318@rofopifj.dravixa.space Subject: the wagon is in The body contains tons of literal HTML tags that weren't parsed into actual HTML. Not sure if it was sent as a text mime-type or what, but it takes all of 2 whole seconds for me to mentally note that this is spam. How is this getting through more often these days?

Ask HN: What happens when eventually all E2E mess. apps removed from app stores? 3 by kingleopold | 0 comments on Hacker News. What happens when eventually all E2E messaging apps are removed from app/play stores? After that most internet communication between humans only allowed if the state or countries records all of it? Are you all ready for this in few years? Sure some people can use linux/grapheneos but they are few % only and I talk about majority of people in the internet.

Ask HN: How to get started in electronic music 3 by A_Random_Nerd | 5 comments on Hacker News. I've been interested in learning how to make electronic music (e.g. Geometry dash, Undertale, Daft Punk, C418), but there doesn't seem to be any real documentation or tutorials on how to start. To summarize my question: a.) What are the first 3 steps (or more) to learn to compose music? b.) Any links, resources etc. to share? Thanks for your time and interest.

Ask HN: How are you preparing for interviews nowadays? 4 by holden_nelson | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey all, just wondering how you're preparing for interviews in 2026? I'm assuming system design plays a larger role and the bar is probably higher across all levels. Do I still need to grind leetcode?

Tell HN: Claude claims the AGPLv3 license violates it's content policy 9 by freedomben | 0 comments on Hacker News. On three separate projects, Claude has refused to add an AGPLv3 license to my project, telling me that it violates the content policy. Most recent reject gave: API Error: Output blocked by content filtering policy I've reproduced this a total of four times. It has also been reported for quite some time[1][2], including by myself a month or so ago (though I can't find the link), and it is clearly not just happening to me. This is unacceptable IMHO, and is beginning to feel like an intentional decision on their part. For myself at least, I'm going to start diversifying (or switching entirely to Codex) as I could see a day when Claude starts refusing to work on an AGPL codebase. It certainly wouldn't be the first time Anthropic has rug-pulled us with their lack of transparency. This is especially bothersome to me since I would be highly s...

Ask HN: Will low quality AI customer support be the new normal? 2 by 0-bad-sectors | 1 comments on Hacker News. Now whenever I reach for customer's support chat or phone I get an AI agent replying to me and I get into a useless loop for a couple of minutes before I start begging it to link me to a real person. Will companies start losing customers because of that or people will eventually get used to this?

Best AI coding plan alternative to Claude and ChatGPT 4 by Jsttan | 1 comments on Hacker News. With the lowering usage limit in Claude, I am thinking of jumping ship to Chinese AI, since the benchmark is already very near compared to Sonnet or Haiku 4.5 , but for a fraction of the price. I am not worried about where is my data ending up through, I am focused on performance and usage limit. I mostly use it for coding and research. However, I am currently deciding on which to use, and would love any recommendations from anyone that are using any or many of these AI, - GLM Coding Plan (Z AI): $18/month Lite Plan - BytePlus: $10 ModelArk Coding Plan - Kimi AI: $19/month Moderato Coding Plan - MiniMax: $20 Plus Standard Plan I would like to ask, is the performance good? Is it worth the value? And how is the usage limit? Also, if anyone have any good recommendation on AI plan that is only in Chinese language, I don’t mind too, as I can understand Chinese.

Ask HN: Former master-tech building AI systems – how to break into software? 2 by nicku711 | 0 comments on Hacker News. So to keep a very long story short, I was 28, was exactly a year ago from april i was awarded top 2000 technicaians in the Nation from Stellantis of North America.

Ask HN: Before Open Source took over the server, what was the discourse like? 3 by mbgerring | 0 comments on Hacker News. My understanding of the early Internet is that there was fierce competition among commercial, closed-source server and database software, and that the dominance of Linux, Apache, MySQL (and now PostgreSQL) etc were far from obvious or guaranteed. I think we’re in a similar moment with LLMs, and I’d love to read some stories, or see some examples of discourse on mailing lists, forums, or whatever on this subject from that earlier period. I think it would be helpful for grounding present-day discussions. What can you share from this era?

At my company engineers are producing a high quantity of PRs with the help of AI agents.

Ask HN: What is your go-to solution for a personal wiki in 2026? 5 by ex-aws-dude | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've used Notion for a long time but I'm interested to hear what other alternatives exist in 2026? For me the main requirements are: * Backed up to cloud * Has a mobile app that is easy to make small changes (for example if I'm doing an oil change on my car I need to be able to pull out my phone and log it in the wiki easily) * Simple file format like markdown so that you're not locked into something proprietary (no need for crazy formatting options like MSWord) * Option to export data out as a backup * Allow uploading arbitrary files like PDFs, images, etc... * Nice to have but not essential: support for tables of data with simple calculations (e.g. sum this column)

SpaceX has submitted plans to build Terafab. https://ift.tt/jui0teW It is smart strategically and financially risky - very on-brand for Musk. Given how hard it is to build, let alone scale a fab without considering existing competition(TSMC) which is light years ahead I’m curious to know what HN thinks of this move? SpaceX is already targeting a trillion dollar IPO and as an investor if you believe in this long term vision a trillion dollars might not seem too unreasonable.

Ask HN: The death of software development as a job? 14 by piratesAndSons | 24 comments on Hacker News. A lot of programmers I read here and elsewhere say LLM isn't going to change much, some say LLM is just going to make them more productive, and some even say not using LLM makes you some sort of relic. What is not debated is that LLM has changed our industry. Programming is a lot more accessible to a lot more people than five years ago. Someone who has never coded anything could sit in front of Claude and produce an entire app ready to be used today. Assuming software development becomes a commodity and the job becomes something like a fast food job where practically any adult who wants it can do it, what is your next move? Anthropic and OpenAI are working hard to redirect the salary you earn to themselves in the form of API costs, so let's assume that in the year 2030, the average yearly wage for a programmer is around the same as a McDonald's worker, because companies...

Time to add option in Hacker News "AI excluded Show HN" 8 by tukunjil | 1 comments on Hacker News. Bored of AI advertisement.

Even if that going to be done using artificial intelligence in backend, no problem. I’m satisfied!

Codex's precision and attention to detail is *crazy* when set up correctly 3 by ditchfieldcaleb | 2 comments on Hacker News. Lately I've been working on a Tower Defense game with Codex, in part to learn how game development works and in part to see how far I can get using just Codex, no manual coding at all. I've got my AGENTS md & my CODESTYLE md & six other ALLCAPS md files etc, and am working on some refactoring to keep the codebase clean & file sizes low, etc. And then I see this in the ExecPlan for my latest refactor: --- # Observations - Observation: The refactor made the screenshots pixel-identical after the baseline was recaptured correctly. Evidence: sha256sum screenshots/before-implementation-x.png screenshots/after-implementation-x.png reported matching hashes for before/after pairs 1, 2, and 3. --- Which is crazy! I've never told Codex to do an sha compare on before/after screenshots of the app, but I do have instructions in my PLANS.md to...

Ask HN: Is there a term for feeling sad about forced AI adoption? 9 by ge96 | 6 comments on Hacker News. I feel like I don't have a choice to accept it. If I want to keep my job I need to use it. I felt pride in making things with code but now that you can just type in words into a prompt and code comes out, it just feels empty now. There's no joy in writing code anymore doing this. I know for my personal hobbies I can do that... I need money is the thing, I can't walk away yet but I think I will if this is how every job will be. I'm not denying its capability it's like today I need to make a bluetooth android app that can do HFP today, NOW. I can't do that with my current knowledge but AI can... and anybody who can type can use it so why am I needed kind of thing. So yeah right now my plan is to coast using these tools, do the things I enjoy to do then make enough money to get out. I'll write my own code for my own fun. I've been a developer/writing ...

Ask HN: When did you move from AI agentic loops to simpler deterministic system? 6 by laxmena | 1 comments on Hacker News. Industry is increasingly moving towards complex, autonomous agentic loops and feedback chains. They obviously comes with significant latency, non-determinism, low-accuracy and cost. I'm interested in hearing from engineers who have moved in the opposite direction. At what point in your product lifecycle did you decide that agentic approach was wrong tool for the job? What was the specific failure mode (reliability, cost, latency, maintainability) pushed you to replace agentic loop with more deterministic system/pipeline?

Tell HN: The saddest irony of my/our craft 6 by dakiol | 0 comments on Hacker News. So I wouldn't mind to lose my job for almost any other reason. Bad market, company pivot, even my own stupid mistakes... fine, thats life. But losing it because of the love I put in my open source projects? C'mon man, that one really pisses me off. I had side projects on weekends just for fun like everyone else, stack overflow answers at 2am for strangers I never gonna meet, and repos nobody paid me for.. Honestly that kinda of culture was the best thing about being a dev and now it became the training set. I hate how openai/google/anthropic/etc scraped it all, learned from it, and now they sell our love back to us as a product. Sure, I get it, it's capitalism, whatever, but I feel like the biggest fool out there. I guess I just have to accept it, put my head down and keep going. There's one thing I dislike most though: the people around here that glorify AI/LLMs. It's just a matt...

Building a Web Framework from Scratch 4 by NewSmoke38 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Draco is a Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) YSWS (You Ship We Ship) — teenagers build a working server side web framework from scratch. Ship it, and we send you a mechanical keyboard + SSD. The idea came from building Beasty — my own HTTP server from raw TCP. The moment you parse your first request line by hand and a browser actually responds, something clicks. You stop thinking of HTTP as magic and start thinking of it as bytes. That's the feeling I want 50 teenagers to have. The project has 6 milestones — from opening a TCP socket all the way to middleware and custom routing. Doable in a weekend if you're motivated, ~15 hours of focused work.

Hyperscalers are buying all the chips to then rent them to us later 4 by adelks | 2 comments on Hacker News. This may sound alarming, but it appears as simple math to me 1. Chip price increase applies to everyone, including hyperscalers 2. I assume most of consumers refuse to pay for such ridiculous prices. 3. Hyperscalers pay the price because they expect return on investment 2. We, consumers, are actually the end-users of the chips they bought It appears then that Hyperscalers are outbidding us at buying chips, then will make us pay back the ridiculous price they outbid us with through renting them back to us. The way out seems simple: don't pay for AI and wait till one can afford chips for local (or federated) AI. But there's the whole b2b market that I don't know what to think about What are your thoughts?
