  Technologies: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, Terraform, Docker, AI agents / MCP  
  Résumé/CV: https://hollstein.io/cv.pdf
  Email: [email protected]
  GitHub: https://github.com/vantezzen
Fullstack/product engineer, mostly working with TypeScript and Python. I'm especially interested in developer tools, AI/agent infrastructure and small teams with a lot of ownership.

I maintain AutoForm, an open-source TypeScript library with 3.5k+ GitHub stars and 50k+ weekly npm downloads. I also built a TikTok Year in Review product that handled ~10M visits in one month, and currently work on an AI agent product using TypeScript/Python, MCP, subagents and human-in-the-loop workflows.

I feel these Claude-written blog articles always have such a weird speech to them, not that fun to read

From CloudFlare's side (https://blog.cloudflare.com/deno-joins-cloudflare/) is seems celld was the main point of this - letting the Deno team focus on making workerd self-hosting easier.
Re:Deno Is Joining Cloudflare on Friday October 09, 2026 @09:30AM (#50020269)
I feel it leaves a bitter flavor how Ryan Dahl pushed so hard for Deno and Deno Deploy for years, just to let them die within 1 year and 6 months respectively. Thankfully I don't have any codebases that heavily use Deno features, otherwise this would be a steep curve now.

There’s a separate „Who wants to be hired“ thread for this
Re:Laya the open source version of Jev on Saturday September 19, 2026 @03:12PM (#49769342)
Especially with „ sales conversion probability“ it just doesn’t sound universal to other issues - there’s tons of unique models for specific use cases
Re:Understanding the Recent DDoS Attack Against Read the Docs on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @01:00PM (#49629656)
Interesting that the Under Attack Mode wasn’t used at all here. I understand not wanting to break APIs but I feel temporarily challenging non-API usage could have at least helped without impacting users too much?

Next add realistic signal delay so you have to wait a day to get the result

Show HN: State of the Feed – TikTok usage analyzed

https://wrapped.vantezzen.io/state-of-the-feed

Hey HN, I'm the creator of "Wrapped for TikTok" - like Spotify Wrapped but for TikTok.Users can upload their TikTok data export to get a summary of their time on the platform, and can optionally donate their data to be used by academic research. We now have almost 17k users who donated their data. With "State of the Feed" I wanted to make some of the research happening behind the scenes more...

Show HN: How Loud Is My Hotel?

https://noise.vantezzen.io/

Hey HN, I build "How Loud Is My Hotel?" as a simple way to check for possible loud noise near a hotel (or any other address) before booking it.I've had some negative experiences in the past so this automatically checks for things like nearby Clubs, Police Stations with sirens, big roads, railroads etc. and gives you a "noise score" based on them.It's free, works worldwide and needs no account....

Re:This Month in Ladybird - April 2026 on Sunday May 03, 2026 @04:31AM (#47994785)
AFAIK Ladybird is separated from SerenityOS completely now (https://hackaday.com/2024/07/02/fork-ladybird-browser-and-se...) so the Ladybird contributors can fully focus on it

Sounds similar to Vercel‘s portless CLI (https://portless.sh/)
Re:Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.0 on Sunday April 26, 2026 @12:52PM (#47911732)
There was a nice task on 39c3 https://youtu.be/3OAiOfCcYFM

They do try to upstream and eventually just have Linux natively support Apple Silicon!

I'm not familiar with Elysia but how does this handle subfunctions? e.g. if my code is

const app = new Elysia() .patch('/user/:id', (request) => { return handleUserRequest(request); })

or some other custom logic, does it automatically need to fall back to full parsing?

Re:IsoCoaster – Theme Park Builder on Monday February 02, 2026 @05:26PM (#46862770)
Such an interesting showcase of history. RCT was a masterpiece written in Assembly from hand. Looking at code from OpenRCT2 you can really see the thought behind it.

Now ISO Coaster really is a badly slipped together adaptation. A lot of details don’t make sense, graphics often look weird and performance is terrible - all while using tons of compute resources.

Re:HTTP Cats on Saturday January 31, 2026 @04:43AM (#46835030)
Same - most of the time I just directly open the specific status (e.g https://http.cat/504 )
Nothing to do with politics and everything to do with crappy AI slop. There was some list somewhere of some of those reports and it was painful to look at
What differentiates this from http://fingerprint.com/?

Visited for the first time and it said I already visited 800+ times with a 99.5% accurancy - not very promising. From the code this also looks like very simple client-side fingerprinting + IP information?

Exactly my thoughts. The whole time scrolling I thought „and now a full example? Ah no, another block of extreme details I dont need“. If it’s so easy and great - just show me what it looks like
