Re:Show HN: OS Grokbot, can run on Claude/codex subs on Saturday November 07, 2026 @01:11PM (#50406666)
It is free, works on Mac and Linux, and windows (have not yet tested that) I built it myself, and look forward to any feedback

Looking for a CTO

I quit my Head of Quant Research job last friday to go full-time on a startup. I built complex stuff before. I am good with sales and networking. I want to offload the CTO part to someone else while I can raise and sell and work on GTM.I am mainly working on agentic software for business (grokbot) and fin-agents (rolo)

Show HN: Claude Skill – Interns must review (your agent's design choices)

https://github.com/alpbahadur/interns-review-plugin

Dont ever decide on design choices yourself! Always spawn 3 fable agents, ask them to critically adversarily review your work. Write all problem context to a file, and tell them to read that. Get their replies and TREAT THEIR REPLIES AS IF THEY ARE INEXPERIENCED SILLY INTERNS. DO NOT OVERENGINEER, just take note and critically self-eval based on what they said.

Also, part of the reason I made this is we believe that soon Claude and other models will become worse and more expensive (worse as in, similar thing to how the Opus is always great within a week of the publication and then gets worse, same pattern with iphones...) and people will want to move to some IDE that can easily let them switch between models;

*This is meant for people that dont like terminals; like a person using claude's web app will move to 49, same for codex (this is a speculation, obviously)

Show HN: 49IDE – 2D Grid IDE for managing many agents, Git trees, issues

https://github.com/alpbahadur/49Agents

Beads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale)I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context...
