    Show HN: Scrappy Free AI Code Assistant

    I started this project 3 weeks ago with the goal of finishing before I start a new job tomorrow. I didn't meet the goal, but it's a pretty decent start. Scrappy is a CLI code assis…

    That's shocking to me. Although it does make sense from a UX perspective as indexing can take minutes depending on the setup.

    I'm not familiar with Claude's architecture, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't index your codebase for semantic search with the explore feature it has. How else would they find co…

    One hack is to end the prompt with: following solid architecture principles. EG: Step 1: Define problem in PROBLEM.md Step 2: Ask agent to gather scope from codebase and update PRO…

    KIDNAP: To abduct or confine (a person) forcibly, by threat of force, or by deceit, without the authority of law. Care to explain the distinction? They have authority of law?? haha…

    This is false, buy some pork belly and smoke it. I've done it.

    This strategy is known as "disaster capitalism" and was explored by Naomi Klein in her book "The Shock Doctrine". Which details how UofChicago economists experimented on South Amer…

    Everyone who works in tech knows this is true and has been happening for longer than described in the article. Since 2020, it feels like I've trained half of Bangalore on how to do…

    The company sold an app and refuses to honor what users paid for. If this is allowed, it will become a strategy because it's profitable. Trick people to purchase, then add ads to t…

    I purchased this app way back in 2014 when I did Android dev FT. I had no idea about the history until recently when I began seeing ads. Comapnies should be prohibited by Google Pl…

    How so? I thought I watched the monologue and didn't hear anything like that. Not even an implication.

    It should not surprise you. They hold no position. In fact the positions they do hold are mostly lies (as we can see small gov, debt reduction, law and order). The only policies th…

    This never occurred and you're completely full of it. No democratic government official ever pressured anyone to be cancelled.

    What do the people claiming to be offended find offensive about it? I thought the issue was the orange one didn't like him and wanted him cancelled.

    I disagree with your second point. I believe Utah, dislike Kimmel, and believe he said nothing wrong. In fact he pretty much stated facts with a sprinkle of his brand of comedy. Yo…

    It sounds like you're trying really hard to either: provide cover for racists, or more charitably cast good intentions on them. It's really simple: racism is hate and we shouldn't …

    You have an extreme point of view. You literally lead with it should be okay to scream fire in a theatre. That's absurd. There was a fire, more than a million folks died, many rule…

    You're spouting nonsense to conflate the contexts. Here we had the FCC guy directly threaten people, they immediately cancelled the show and I assume hundreds of people's jobs. Why…

    It's the first time the government in the US has done this. 100%. I see. You're trying to pretend that intentionally subverting public health measures should be free speech and tha…

    I don't get what your point is. We agree covid is bad and difficult for people to deal with.

    I googled Alex as I didn't know who that was. The government has an interest in public health. 1.2 million Americans (likely many more) died as a result of covid. There were refrig…
