Hi HN, In my continued quest to excape App Hell, unify all my business data, and let AI run the the parts of my business that don't make money, I've built Martin. Martin is a CLI t…

I agree, I think the era of trying to adapt your work, business, or life to work the way a project manager or app designer thinks is best for you needs to come to an end. Our tools…

I would be very careful about basing your career decsions based on this trend. The data center build out will always be very boom and bust, which would really suck to work in. One …

Considering it was made legal at the federal level, that is where the reforms will need to be. Also, having individual states try to regulate and online marketplace would be hell. …

Hi HN, Annoucing the release of Magpie, a CLI tool which turns your AI agent into an expert bookkeeper, based on Jaybase. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48999936 ) As someo…

How does it handle chron jobs or waking from a messaging app?

I'm curious how this will play out. So far having agents in a group chats with multiple people is hard. Either the agent creates a different "thread" internally for each user and e…

Doing my part!

Hey HN, I build custom AI agents for businesses, and one of the things I've noticed is that everyone wants to use AI to do real, critical work, but it's hard to trust it because so…

Yea, but those aren't subscriptions with fixed costs. I'm wary of running my dev flow against a pay-per-token endpoint, since costs can easily explode doing that.

A note on your website, when I hit the EN button in the top right, it presents a pop-up in German, which I can't read, so I can't change it to be in English.

Very cool, but if I'm prompting / looping an AI agent as my main development process, what is the use case here? I feel the biggest help would be to make Reviewing PRs from the ter…

I wish they had some kind of US hosted option, NDR policy, or something like that. I love the price and power, but I have concerns around data sovereignty and leaking IP to an over…

I have been so ahead of the curve on this, I'm going to live forever!

I agree, but that formal language doesn't need to be executable code.

I see what Martin is saying here, but you could make that argument for moving up the abstraction layers at any point. Assembly to Python creates a lot of Intent & Cognitive debt by…

I've tried a bunch of these "memory" systems and they aren't there yet. There is, currently, a tension between memory, and context pressure on the coding agent. There have been mul…

I find a lot of these IDEs are simply not as useful as a CLI. When I'm running a full agentic workflow, I don't really need to see the contents of the files at all time, I'd actual…

So most messaging apps rely on a phone number or centralized server to provide a means of making atleast the initial connection. In a purely P2P messaging system, how do I, as a us…

I can't say I needed yet another reason to hate the current state of LinkedIn, but I am not surprised in the slightest.

Two quick questions/thoughts: 1) Reading the changes, as a human, is not easy, having a document with a bunch editing marks in it, especially at the rate AI can make edits to thing…

This looks pretty cool, would love to try it. One thing I'm trying to understand from the docs. I have 100s of playwright based BDD tests in my projects, especially the ones that a…

You could certainly build that today, mario tennis had ai controlled virtual tennis players 20+ years ago. You would simply need to put two of them opposite each other and you coul…

Depends on how hard the question is. Simple functions in small code bases, will probably work. Once you get large code bases and more complex work, you'd have issues with the small…

That doesn't seem terribly surprising, a human can quickly look through a grid of shirts to find one they like. ChatGPT would be guessing what they might want and the human would p…
