Show HN: I'm color blind, so I built a way to show people how I see

https://www.josh.ing/howisee

I'm color blind and for as long as I can remember, the first question people always ask me after finding out is: "what color is this?"So I thought it could be cool to build a color blind simulator where I can point my phone's camera at anything and show people live what it looks like to me.Once I built that, I thought it would be interesting to also see how other people with different vision...

Show HN: Codemaxxed – 350M+ LOC and a GitHub cease and desist

https://github.com/jshchnz/codemaxxed

Built this code art project as a commentary on the recent wave of using LOC as a primary measure of engineering productivityIt's now up to 350M lines of useless (but hopefully funny) code, constantly growing using GitHub actions and https://github.com/jshchnz/codemaxxingUnfortunately, GitHub has now sent me a notice to remove the repo within the next 14 days, so enjoy it while you can

Show HN: A macOS app for data refinement

https://github.com/jshchnz/refiner

I got tired of always going into online formatters or weird terminal commands to view nicely prettified data, so I built Refiner.Current Features- Auto-detection: identifies JSON, XML, CSV, Markdown, Code, and plain text automatically- Interactive tree views: collapsible JSON and XML trees with expand/collapse all- CSV tables: clean grid layout with alternating row highlighting- Markdown...

I had Claude cost me ~$130 in a day because of how it structured a blog post I wrote that was on the front page of HN. I wrote about what happened here: https://www.josh.ing/blog/vibes-tax

Sharing internal AI adoption/spend stats from Sentry

In the last 90 days:- Sentry has spent $100k+ & used 100B+ tokens- Top model was Opus-4.5 with 40%+ of overall usage- Our single largest spender used 4.2B tokens- ~150 average weekly active agentic coding tool users- Total # of commits to repos are up 79%302/372 full time employees = ~81% (not just eng) have tried an agentic coding tool (Cursor/Claude Code/Cowork/Codex)

Author of the article here. Appreciate your sentiment here, but my goal wasn’t trying to make a hit song or shortcut the obvious very significant time and effort that goes into creating any sort of art. It was meant as a fun experiment to try to highlight a feeling that we’re barely scratching the surface of the breadth of things that agentic coding may be able to tackle. I’ve been learning guitar and taking painting classes in my free time, but it’s not my profession nor something I was encouraged to do when I was young. Thanks for the comment, it’s helpful to see ways I can improve my writing style

Show HN: Use Claude Code to find engineering jobs

https://github.com/jshchnz/claude-jobs

Hiring sites and jobs pages usually kinda suck so I thought it'd be cool if devs could use Claude Code to sort through potential jobs.To install the skill: git clone https://github.com/jshchnz/claude-jobs.git ~/.claude/skills/claude-jobsSome examples: what's the highest paying job at sentry? jobs in san francisco at airbnb engineering jobs at cloudflareRight now it only supports a few companies...
