Why do you ask ?

NO. Not investing in anything that does not fit basic investing maths.

Drone shows are different as they mostly work with quacopters instead of long range vtols etc. There are softwares that help plan and fly quadcopters to get a drone show done.

Unfortunately I do not plan/want to hand over control of the drone to an AI -> MCP as of know. Currently we plan to generate flight plans on a server and then each drone will request a flight plan and do its stuff.

I’m building a decentralized Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) orchestration layer that treats aerial robotics as a simple API endpoint.

The system allows users to submit a JSON payload containing geocoordinates and mission requirements (e.g., capture_type: "4K_video" | "IR_photo"), the backend then handles the fleet logistics, selecting the optimal VTOL units from distributed sub-stations based on battery state-of-charge and proximity.

1) Smartphones 2) Coding agents.
@nickyweek, please provide your contact email.
Safest would be the tech you already know well.
I have generally move away from JS/TS default. I even avoid react unless it is absolutely necessary. I am moved to more simpler choices when picking tech stacks. I go for the old & tested rather than the fancy, new & shiny choice.

This move has allowed me to maintain a project for long times while still maintaining my peace of mind.

Re:Ask HN: Best solution to build AI agents? on Friday November 21, 2025 @02:45AM (#46002160)
I really like https://ai.pydantic.dev/ as it builds on existing developer knowledge and there is not much to learn in the framework itself.
Re:Ask HN: Preferred Next.js Alternatives? on Thursday October 23, 2025 @07:18AM (#45680562)
I would go with https://tanstack.com/ as that has components to replace almost all Next.js features.
Hey Joshua,

I have been struggling with the same paradox, all AI moat seems to be to remove humans. Although that might be possible in a distant future I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Instead I want AI to be my assistant like and IDE, where it help me get things done faster that I can do it by myself but I am always in command. Also what if there is an AI assistant for each code repo, that understands that repo in its entirely and is downloaded when you clone the repo, it has deep knowledge on the code base, it scope and restrictions, how the code changed over time etc etc.

We can provide Small language models for existing codebases for large organizations like banks which run cobol or some other older tech. This AI then empowers there limited developers to punch way above their numbers and help them developer better, cleaner and faster.

This is one way I am thinking on AI/LLMS as they keep shrinking exponentially and keep becoming more powerful.

I think specialized single purpose embedded AI/LLMS will be the future.

Can I ask what if anything else you do besides work that interests you ?
Big fan of Trigger.dev here

We’ve been using it for a while and I’m a super happy customer. The scheduled task feature has been a lifesaver—super simple and just works exactly as expected. Also want to call out the Dev mode: it’s an absolute gem, makes testing and iterating so much smoother than anything else I’ve tried.

Really appreciate the thoughtfulness that’s gone into the product—excited to see the upcoming MicroVM + checkpointing work land!

Show HN: AuctionHubIndia – Discover Bank Auction Properties Across India

Hi HN,I’ve been working on AuctionHubIndia , a platform that aggregates bank auction properties (residential and commercial) across India.Banks regularly auction distressed assets (NPAs, SARFAESI, foreclosures), but the notices are scattered across dozens of bank sites, often as unstructured PDFs or poorly formatted web pages. Finding and tracking them is tedious.What it does:Aggregates auction...

Hi,

I'm an engineer with 15 year of IT experience. Instead of tech stack you should focus on speed. Use whichever tech you are faster in.

Re:Ask HN: What are good patterns for holding state? on Saturday December 09, 2023 @03:05AM (#38579749)
I think elixir process model is the best pattern for this. Combined with GenServer it makes managing/manipulating states easy.

@Anirudh12 please share a little more detail on what guidance are you looking for ?
