There's much more to “building” than just writing code.
Re:Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @03:35PM (#49982975)
I agree with you 100%. I’ve never enjoyed programming for the sake of writing code. I’ve always loved creating products and coding was just a necessary evil to do that. And thanks to AI I can now focus more on the product, its UX, design, etc instead of spending most of the time in the codebase.

But most software engineers I’ve worked with are not like that. In fact, they want to be as far away from the customer/user as possible and they love the coding for coding’s sake. I’m afraid those are the first to be replaced by AI as their skills don’t extend beyond writing code, which is probably why they are screaming so much now.

You should have asked the bank to do a chargeback of the transactions.

Yeah, I’m happy I gave up, it’s just not possible to compete and the constant stress to try to keep up is not worth it.

I have two of his original drawings/paintings here at home on my wall. I live in Lund, which he also did for a while, so it’s pretty common to find them in art stores and auctions for pretty cheap.

That’s also what I want to do. I currently have my office/lab at home and waiting for deliveries to come is very stressful as I basically have to be ready to answer the door at any time, which can be many hours.
Re:They're Vibe-Coding Spam Now on Sunday March 22, 2026 @07:31PM (#47483495)
Same, except for when I’m expecting a delivery, then I tend to answer calls from unknown numbers.
Just sounds like an actual grownup to me.

I find this sentence to be a little odd. Who are “they”?

What is the live demo supposed to do? I just get stuck in an endless redirect loop with a counter going from 1 to 18 and then restarting. I’m using Safari on iOS.

According to the README it’s just a wrapper of the web version, with some additional stuff on top.

Looks cool! Does it work outdoors too? And can it be battery-powered?
Re:AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @01:47PM (#45672653)
I’m using DeepSeek V3 to do automated crypto news analysis and my last accuracy report [1] showed a 98.5% accuracy so I find the results of this article very surprising.

I would add hardware products to that list. While they also have become somewhat easier and cheaper to create, the threshold is still much higher than for software and SaaS products.

Re:Product Hunt is dead on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @02:00PM (#45363830)
This. I got more spam than actual users when I launched on Product Hunt. Pretty sure majority of people on PH are just there to promote their own services and products.
Looks like he renamed it to "4 Counts | Wrist Tempo", but the screenshots are still using "Lagree Buddy".

Show HN: Mimir Crypto – AI crypto news aggregator and analysis

https://mimircrypto.com

Hi, my name is Timothy and I recently created a couple of AI agents for analyzing cryptocurrencies, e.g. creating 6-month outlooks [1]. These agents are just searching Google for the latest news for a particular coin, which is expensive (token-heavy) and slow, and they often miss significant news, especially if it's not very recent. Existing crypto news aggregator APIs are expensive and doesn't...

I’ve been thinking about this as well. Instead of making websites, maybe people will make something else, like some future version of MCP tools/servers? E.g. a restaurant could have an “MCP tool” for checking opening hours, reserving a table, etc.
Re:OpenRouter is down on Thursday August 28, 2025 @06:51AM (#45050627)
True, that happens far too often.
Re:OpenRouter is down on Thursday August 28, 2025 @06:47AM (#45050602)
I'm mostly concerned about their lack of communication. Would have been nice to know that they are looking into it and an ETA.
Re:OpenRouter is down on Thursday August 28, 2025 @06:22AM (#45050457)
Been down for ~50 minutes now and there's no information other than the automated notice on their status page.
Well, at least this one made it to the front page!
From the footer:

Show HN: Nelly – Create your own team of AI agents

https://nelly.is

Hi, my name is Timothy and I've been working on Nelly for the last few months.Nelly is an AI agent platform where you can build, use and soon share AI agents/assistents. You create the agents by simply writing instructions in natural language, and you can break down these instructions into smaller parts as sub-agents. You then use these agents with Nelly's chat interface to perform tasks for...

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025) on Monday April 28, 2025 @03:43AM (#43818663)
I’m working on Nelly, a no-code AI agent platform for building, using and (soon) sharing AI assistants.

It’s currently in beta for macOS but I’m waiting for Anthropic to extend my rate-limits before I announce it here on HN.
