Interesting how flat trade growth was for years until September of last year...I wonder what changed.
So Retool but for using agents. Neat.

I added the disclaimer on the top this time as per HN requests last time. Have at it you rascals...this team is super interesting.
Re:Ask HN: Burned out from tech, what else is there? on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @01:48PM (#46696096)

I have a few of these posts I've written coming out over the next few months that I want people to discuss. Would you prefer I add a disclaimer at the top? Easy enough to add
