Hey HN! As an avid user of cmux (https://cmux.com/), I wanted a way to control terminal and agent sessions from my Android phone, so I built Muxer. The app talks to a tiny relay over HTTPS, that then talks to cmux through its local socket, and gives you to ability to: - Answer agent permission requests, questions and plans from a notification
- Reply to Claude Code, Codex and Pi chat...
> I was only ever interested in engineering challenges.
When you pigeonhole yourself into only finding challenge in one field, you're bound to be disappointed eventually. While I do miss some of the challenge, these tools have given me more freedom to tackle difficult problems outside of software, both personally and professionally.
Three years in and I'm still working on RomM (

Our latest 5.0 release includes a save sync engines, so your game saves can move between devices (compatible app required). Start playing on your PC, save + sync, grab your AYN Thor and pick up where you left off.
Ran out of VC money now that only AI companies get funding.

You wouldn't hold that opinion it you did maintain a popular open-source repo or interact with AI "PR review" tools at a serious level. Even the most SOTA models are willing to accept/merge absolutely trash PRs so long at the summitter can convince it that is addressed it's review comments.
I've taken the position that anything the ultra-wealthy say is likely wrong, and every decision they take will negatively affect society, unless and until its corroborated by an unbiased source with expertise in the subject matter.
Fred Rogers, Terry Crews, Lin Manuel Miranda, Henry Cavill, John Cena, Steve Irwin and Dave Grohl to name a few.
And contribute your changes back upstream, right?
The prompt itself is copyrightable but not the art/code generated from it.
Wherever you want to be.
Tailwind works for your team? Go for it.
Inline CSS for your solo project? By all means.
Still stuck on SASS? It'll keep working just fine.
All in on modern CSS? More power to ya!
> In a world where we can type anything into a text box and get the information back instantly we are circumventing the need to visit websites altogether.
This is purely anecdotal, but the only people in my extended circle making this transition (to any extent) are the technically savvy; everyone else is slowly realizing how awful AI tools and "AI-first experiences" can be and are actively trying to avoid them.

Shovel salesman selling shovels, nothing to see here.
My favorite conspiracy theory is that these projects/blog posts are secretly backed by big-AI tech companies, to offset their staggering losses by convincing executives to shovel pools of money into AI tools.
In the last 6 months we've seen no fewer then a dozen vibe coded/AI assisted open source, self hosted projects launch that complete against ours. So far all but one has fizzled out, with the same pattern each time: announcement, repo with 1 giant commit, 2-4 months of feature releases, loss of interest from the author, and finally abandonment.
I expect once users get burnt enough time, they'll stop adopting the new cool thing until it's been out long enough with consistent releases.
> A coding agent allows one to feel the raw productive power a great programmer can tap into. It allows one to feel like the “10× programmers” they’ve sat next to in the open office for ten years, whose skills they never quite achieved themselves.
I fear this is the trap that most "new" developers will fall into over the next few years. I'm also worried the "great programmer" will cease to exist as the current greats retire, and the potential greats will never reach that level due to their reliance on LLMs.

"Marlboro CEO: Banning under-16s from smoking won't fix lung cancer"
Not that I agree with the approach (digital IDs, age verification, etc), but of course a social media CEO doesn't want to see it's user base restricted.
I wouldn't use one without the other, which is how they won my business.
Ah wasn't aware of that, thanks.
No plans according to some recent reddit threads, but you can probably email their support for a more up-to-date info.
They don't, but you shouldn't feel too bad as fastmail is australian, ie not american, which (at least personally) is where we're trying to divest.
This is a slap on the wrist for a company of Epic's size. Anyone know if this comes with restrictions on future in-app purchases made by children, or if these already exist in NL and Epic was ignoring them?

Ah, there it is.
