I mostly look for side projects on github and past experience.
Re:Are AI Builders the Final Abstraction Layer?
on Monday September 29, 2025 @02:58PM (#45417431)
A new wave of abstraction is reshaping software engineering.
Each pushed machine code closer to humans or made software easy to build:
Assembly → C
C → Python/Ruby
Manual memory mgmt → GC
Bare metal → VMs → Containers → Kubernetes
jQuery → React/Next.js
PHP+HTML → Web Frameworks like Rails/Django/Express
On-prem infra → AWS → Serverless
And now, we’re seeing AI builders on top of the app layer.
Personally, I started with ChatGPT as “Google++”, then Claude Code → OpenAI Codex → and now I’m again trying Claude Sonnet 4.5.
Not sure where this abstraction wave ends. Feels like we’re heading to a point where software writes itself - no humans needed.
and this is the future they’re pushing toward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiqrsv530Y
Show HN: I Built a Rails Active Storage Adapter for BunnyCDN Storage
https://github.com/rkwap/active_storage_bunny
I needed to integrate BunnyCDN Storage with Rails Active Storage, but found no official adapter available.So, I built one.Bunny Storage (https://bunny.net/storage/) is a cheap and solid alternative to AWS S3, and this has been working flawlessly for me in production.Would love feedback, and happy if this helps anyone else trying to use BunnyCDN with Rails.
Re:Ask HN: Why is everyone suddenly so interested in AI browsers?

This really makes a lot of sense to me now. Thanks a lot for explaining it in detail.
I think it's not going to be easy for them to get that market share from google especially since they’re doubling down on AI themselves.

Honestly, I don't find any AI browser out there that is actually useful to me. All those shiny new features fade away once you start using them in your day-to-day life. I am not able to understand why I would automate something like browsing the web with AI. All I need is a good utilities-based browser that makes my browsing easy. Arc does a good job, but it's sad to see that they are wasting their time on a useless Dia browser instead of making Arc great.
What do you guys think?
