i really have been enjoying pi a lot

at first i thought i was goring to build lots of extra plugins and commands but what ended up working for me is:

- i have a simpel command that pulls context from a linear issue

- simple review command

- project specific skills for common tasks

Re:Ask HN: What is your dev set up like? on Friday April 03, 2026 @07:34AM (#47625490)
i use tmux with one open session per project I'm working on.

inside the session using nvim for edits, terminal panes for running tests / commands etc, and increasingly pi as a coding agent instead of claude code.

i sometimes toy around with orchestration projects like capy.ai or conductor but haven't really been impressed.

probably worth noting that usually all code i push will have been written by me. even if LLMs can output the same i find it's usually faster to implement it myself compared to convincing myself that the LLM output is correct.

Ask HN: Did AI tools measurably increase productivity of your engineering teams?

I lead a small engineering team and while basically everyone is enthusiastically using claude code and the like there is not really an obvious change of output.Of course this has always been hard to quantify but the number of tickets completed every week is roughly steady. This does not seem to match self reported efficiency gains.How has this been going for you?

Ask HN: How are you productively using Claude code?

I tend to be sceptical when it comes to LLM based coding tools but many people seem to be raving about huge productivity gains which I wouldn’t mind as well.However when trying cc it left me vey disappointed. For context I’m working on a relatively greenfield rust project and gave it tasks that I would consider appropriate for a junior level colleague like:- change the return type of a trait...

reminds me of this image board that has been around for a while. similar idea, it’s only open every 12 hours

is it really? this is the most common example for context free languages and something most first year CS students will be familiar with.

totally agree that you can be a great engineer and not be familiar with it, but seems weird for an expert in the field to confidently make wrong statements about this.

another EF project is https://semaphore.pse.dev/, which basically allows users to prove membership of a group without revealing additional details about themselves. it's useful but also simple enough to understand the whole code-base in a reasonable time.

Max Howell (creator of homebrew) is also behind tea.xyz

imo that give them some more credibility or at least makes me think that they probably are well intentioned

1) selling

2) my work as a contractor

3) usdc

4) ~11k usdc

5) 2021

6) via email i guess

7) went smoothly, I sent a regular invoice and withdrew via a centralized exchange. Fees for me were lower than receiving an international bank transfer

8) yes

9) the UX is quite bad still, I don’t want to evaporate my salary by mistyping an address. paying ppl in crypto also leads to some pay transparency, I could see how much everyone was making

this sounds like an interesting product and the team clearly has impressive credentials.

I am very sceptical of crowd funding however, I think these are largely terrible investments for consumers while explicitly targeting people who are not accredited investors.

what made you go that route instead of pursuing VC funding?

When I was in college I used interview cake a bit and enjoyed it. It’s free for students irrc.

In general I think most of the interview prep industry is kind of a grift.

great advice, but seeing crimethinc linked on HN is always wild

looking forward to playing with this!

I have been uncomfortable with eating animal products, for both ethical and environmental reasons, for years now.

There wasn't one event that prompted the change, it was a very gradual process.

I'm not 100% vegan or vegetarian because I sometimes eat canned sardines and eggs but I'd say 95% of my meals are vegan. IMO it's not so helpful to think in terms of strict categories when discussing diet.

I think it's a bit too early in the conversation to discuss that; I need to learn more about the team/role and would love to discuss it when we get closer.
this reminds me of beeminder.com

I like the idea of adding financial incentive to stick to habits etc, but i would be uncomfortable with having to deposit money, why not just take a CC and charge it if I break the contract?

also: what prevents me from just lying about whether I did the thing I promised to do?

The post is in German so here is a quick summary. 3 days ago there was an unspecified attack on the Windows environment at TU Berlin. Since then most infrastructure, including email, have been taken offline.
