vitest load balancing on test duration times instead of by file would be a nice performance win
Can anyone from vlt explain the inconsistencies in their performance over time graph? When I compare it w/ the npm baseline, it looks like it fluctuates between being ~4s faster typically but then there are periods where the performance is worse.
I appreciate the transparency that the company has showing their performance, the early August degradation has me wondering what’s going on.
Anyone use this and have also used cmux?
Loved the article, thanks for sharing. I’m curious if you’d share your setup. I haven’t made any macOS apps before, primarily because I never wanted to really learn XCode and obj-c. I like swift but still prefer simpler editors like Zed/VSC vs. What XCode offers.. so when you’re building these are you doing it in XCode or in another tool like Claude Code/codex/gemini CLI?
cheers
Can you use beads with other task management systems like linear or shortcut?
Also does beads work with obra’s superpowers plugin?

Hey HN,I _really_ like reading blogs on agentic coding/claude code topics that are exploring new ideas and discussing advanced topics on agentic coding.Jesse's recent few articles on his blog blog.fsck.com is a good example of what I'm looking for. Reading articles like these are really inspiring, educational, enjoyable and exciting.Geoffrey Huntley's blog at ghuntley.com is another one that I...
I didn’t realize you can have subagents have different sets of MCP servers+tools enabled & disabled. Do you have any docs for this? A slash command to trigger different types of workflows would work well.

I have a handful of MCP servers that I really like to use: Sentry, Shortcut, Playwright. There’s a few others that I’d like to use.My problem, even with a couple of MCP servers installed the number of tools loaded easily surpasses the 40 tool threshold and I see warnings in Cursor and Claude Code.My current solution is to manually turn on tools within each MCP server. The challenge with this is...
Between this and models like exaone 4 32b reasoning is it possible to have a TUI setup similar to Claude code?
> piggybacking on bedrock or vertex
Can you elaborate? I’m not familiar with this approach.
I thought that was against the terms of service from Anthropic and they have the rights to disable/ban accounts doing that.
Amp Code is also very good, they released about 2 weeks ago their Oracle feature which leverages o3 to do reviews (
https://ampcode.com/news/oracle). Amp leans the closer to Claude Code more than other solutions I’ve seen so far, the team there is really leaning into the agentic approach.
I watch the changes on Kilo Code as well (https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode). Their goal is to merge the best from Cline & Roo Code then sprinkle their own improvements on top.
There’s a lot of talk about Claude Code in here, and I agree it’s a great agentic coding tool. One of the benefits of Cursor & Windsurf is/was the ease for smaller companies to setup Team accounts and have control over spend.
Claude Code I think misses this. You can get an enterprise account if you commit to over, what.. 70 seats annually?
If you’re an individual you can get Max 5x/20x ..
But for smaller companies, I don’t think they are addressing that space. Am I wrong? Are there any Agentic tools like Claude Code that can provide a fixed cost per user?
agree. With the fall update to Claude 3.5 Sonnet it’s held its own. Add in MCP and it’s pretty good. Looking forward to seeing what they’ve achieved.
Like psychoslave suggested, try out mise (
https://github.com/jdx/mise). I used asdf for years, did the switch to mise and have never looked back for package management. It supports a huge number of languages and is performant.
Any good guides on mailpit + playwright e2e working together?

This is the second show HN in two days that has posted SEO stuffed keyword links.
I hope this isn’t a growing trend.
Any way to have this work in LM Studio? Not showing up in search results.
Agree. Different GitHub’s services go down frequently enough that I don’t think much of it. Thought this article would have something more to it other than it went down for a few minutes.
I like the visual blocking of each command. Cool idea I haven't seen in other terminals.
does anyone have experience using haraka vs a service like sendgrid? I'm curious if there are any challenges with mail deliverability such as the haraka instance being flagged for spam.
Any good resources or suggestions for system/pre-prompt for general coding or when targeting a specific language? ie, using the CodeLlama and working on typescript, ruby, rust, elixir etc.. is there a universal prompt that gives good results or would you want to adjust the prompt depending on the language you're targeting?
Hope the M3 Ultra Studio comes along soon. Would be great to get a cpu/gpu of that level + the ram capacity it would likely be able to handle.
are there any docs on setting up togetherAI with continue.dev? would be interested in checking that out as an alternative to OpenAI for experimenting with larger models that won't run/run well on a m1 max.
When I was in University I took a course that focused on a set of problems to be solved. Each assignment in the course was solving them using a different language. Thinking back the languages were:
- C
- C++
- ASM
- Haskell
- Lisp
- Java
- Eiffel
- Modula
- Prolog
- Perl
It was an awesome course, you learned over time how some languages were better suited for certain tasks than others.
It reinforced the idea of using the right tool for the job. While a solution was feasible or verbose in some of the languages in others it was simple or concise.
I also remember thinking Java was really nice to use. Lives the automatic garbage collection and not having to think about dangling pointers.
Also that Perl was frustrating.
