    Show HN: OSS Pi Agent for Slack and Linear

    We've been using a now-discontinued version of pi-mom from the pi monorepo for a few months now. Digby is a slackbot which you can also assign Linear issues to. It has a private (S…

    Somehow gemini-cli is so janky and doesn't get the latest models. But Antigravity is the new golden child? Just have a great suite of predictably quality products.

    It's the vercel way. There have been plenty of experiments leading up to this (even by vercel employees before they joined) but re-packaging it as "the" solution, rather than just …

    OpenAI seems to limit how "hard" your gpt-5-codex can think depending on your subscription plan; whereas Anthropic/Claude only limits how much use you get. I evaluate Codex every m…

    It's a really good platform for Typescript microservices which scale-to-zero (up to very high theoretical limits), but it wouldn't be a platform you'd migrate a monolith PHP app to…

    You're describing why reasoning is such a big deal. It can do this freakout in a safe, internal environment, and once it's recent output is confident enough flip into the "actual o…

    This is just an ad for generalanalysis (itself an MCP tool).

    Look into zgen, it's a zsh plugin system but much more static (but less ridiculous out of the box)

    Great to see Huggingface stick to their guns with CodeEval and python tooling. Agentic turn-by-turn tool calling is fine and all, but we're underutilising their ability to write an…

    Easy to setup and instant forks for devs was it for me. Felt the pain with dev app state in the past and this took <20 minutes to migrate (beta users only) and go live, and get bac…

    I remember back in the day you could embed http://someothersite.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=logout "> in your forum signature and screw with everyone's sessions across the web

    Or more recently, NPM's infamous "Progress bar noticeably slows down npm install #11283" issue [1]: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/11283

    My grandparents were terrible at smartphones. To them, it's like a landline phone, but you have to charge it every 1-2 days. Yet my grandpa was decent at PC, and email, and so on, …

    You can "self-host" as in `next build` and `next serve`, but it runs as a monolothic runtime. Next-on-vercel compiles each api route to a serverless function and supports various a…

    Sounds a lot like existing Claude integration + Caching (as most queries rely on relatively static code context)

    It is a native app, and even lives in your menu bar for some reason

    Truly, (for those who don't want to log in) it's just a shared playground conversation with GPT-4, in Danish, where the author got a result they're obviously unhappy with. Author, …

    Pumping up the grandiose factor; a meter is tangible and can be imagined 100x, but football fields are really big!

    Mapping and modding Quake 2 and 3 pushed me from Basic and HTML/CSS into much less forgiving C/C++ programming around the same age -- wouldn't be the engineer I am without it. It's…

    Can you deploy 700MB Dockerfiles to Cloudflare, as they mention as a minimum requirement in the article?
